Kings of hearts err.. Leon!

Kings of leon are an American band from Tennessee. They are a family band, Followill kids, with 3 blood brothers and a cuz thrown together.. why Kings of leon.. you see their Pa is Leon (also Granpa) and hence
the sons and cuz are the kings of Leon!

Caleb (Anthony Caleb Followill) is the lead singer and rhythm guitarist. His voice like the cotton candy, solid but melting right when it touches your tongue, disappearing when you thought you could bite it, leaving behind a sweet trail that leaves you smacking your lips and wanting more.

Nathan (Ivan Nathan Followill) on drums and percussion, Jared (Michael Jared Followill) on bass guitar and finally cousin Matthew (CameronMatthew Followill) lead guitarist.  The music hmm.. so many medleys raising and falling like many waves leaving you breathless and a tingling in the nerves and heart racing gasping for breath.

 

Without dispute I think The KOL fans agree that 'Only in the night' has been there best album .. Some of my fav are from this album and here it goes..

Knocked up - The audacity of the youth and the confidence with which Caleb sings the line is gorgeous. Reminds of my 11th class days when I felt nothing was beyond me.

And the pace and rhythm of 'sex is on fire' is simply awesemo!

Fans, now theres a song that dedicated to the London crowd that gives you the creeps as if you are part of that huge concert and feeling what the band felt as they sang for the Britons..

Closer, I think the comment by some fan sums it 'It creeps under your skin and lays eggs in your brain that hatch to give birth to awesome!'

'Be somebody' is everyone's top fav.. great drumming here..

Radioactive is another hot fav in my list.. guitaring is really good here and I love the chorus..

The fall

When people like Night Shaymlal and Tarsem Singh are out there why do we still say Indians aren't able to produce quality movies for international audience?! Wait Shyamalal .. yeah.. the guy who directed Village.. but who is this Singh guy... That's what I thought.. until I watched 'The Fall', and I am eating my words literally, calling myself ignoramus for not having known about him and this movie earlier.

The movie starts with a total bang of visual treats.. The slow motion of some of the fantastic scenes ever.. Cool angles.. and if you think they are disconnected, think again or rather, watch again! The entire movie flows literally in front of you and dynamic as a mercury broken free from a thermometer..The interesting scenes , tricks, where the girl, Alexandria sees the upside down horse, well really a reflection , a rudimentary pin-hole camera technique captured so beautifully, the way the story is ready to mould as the narrative goes, taking in the elements from the girl.

The actor - Lee Pace, the girl , Catinca Untaru and the nurse - Justine Weddell all fresh beautiful faces have done an excellant job. Specially the little girl with her broken English and cute smile. I can't stop going to the all the places and scenes that were shown in the movie.. the beautiful everlasting desert in captivating colours of gold and brown and yellow, the butterfly reef, the sea swimming elephant - incidentally is it Rajan from Andamans?, The way the mystic emerges from the tree, The blood of the blue bandit spreading on the canvas, the mystic folk who give the directions - I have seen this before in Baraka; are they the same people then?, Jodhpur, the city of blue houses.

What baffles me is, is the imagination of Alexandria or of Roy, surely the girl cannot have seen all these places and those beautiful costumes to put into her imagination, but then again it can't be Roy's either, remember the scene where she comes out of Darwin's bag? Or is it both's? Let me know what your thoughts are..
