Tool have announced that they would be on tour again this year with their new album 10,000 days. It was fun last time I'd been to one of their concerts. Chances are, I'd find myself in one of those closed domes again this year. The Laser show they put up the last time was amazing !!!

Tool comes up with its own kind of music again. Vicarious is probably the best song in their new album - 10,000 days. This song is about American obsession with the television, and "Living Vicariously" through various television characters. It also touches upon the American obsession with violence in television, a very psychological view on how we as a culture tend to need to watch other people or things die in order to continue feeling good about our own lives, and how when a war occurs (The Iraq War) we tend to need to watch "While the whole world dies."

They simply cant keep bollywood out of the mix. It took some time to get the much needed recognition but now we see that even the OSCAR academy is considering songs from the Bollywood world. They say that Bollywood is synonymous with musicals. All the three nominations are those composed by AR Rahman. One movie that stood out last year (both in terms of music and direction/movie) was Rang De Basanti.
Rakeysh Mehra, director of "Basanti," says it was difficult to choose among the many songs in that film, but he went with Rahman's choices. Songs in 'Basanti,' are like the soul of the movie. UTV has submitted "Khalbali" and "Luka Chuppi" from the movie. Also, tune from the movie "Water" has been nominated as Canada's foreign-language candidate.
... hone hone de nasha, khone khone ko hai kya
ek saans mein pee ja, zara zindagi chadha
hai yeh toh ek jashan, tu thirakne de kadam
abhi saanson mein hai dam, abhi chalne de sitam
khalbali hai khalbali - hai khalbali
