Sabbath bloody sabbath, Nothing much to do.
Living just for dying, dying just for you.
Yeah!

I am too bored now. Want to write something here, but nothing comes to mind. Am too bored writing abt IIT and stuff. So thought of writing these lines from "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" by Black Sabbath (Awesome song!). And guess wat, it came on the radio at the same time :)

Okay, lemme write abt the music here. The best thing abt music here is the radio! There r sooooooooooo many FM stations here playing all sorts of songs. Most people listen to radio when they are driving (which almost everyone over 18 does). And radio stations make lotsa $$$. They organize lotsa events (live shows and stuff) and stuff. People are big fans of their radio stations.

My favorite stations are 96.5 WHTQ and 101.1 Real Rock. I dunno why most stations have these wierd names like WHTQ and all. The former station plays classic rock tunes. Surpisingly, Led Zepplin is one of the most famous rock bands here. I had heard very little of them back in India. But they made some really cool tunes. I dunno why noone hears much of them in India. Not many British bands r played on the radio, and that's one thing that I dont like! British music is kewl... and I think people here shud b exposed to it. 101.1 plays heavy rock, but they play the modern alternative rock that sucks most of the time. Noone plays the classy Iron Mainden, Metallica or Judas, probably because they r mostly British bands.

Alternative music is in a sad state here: trashy music, not much lead guitaring and harsh vocals. I have liked very few of these songs. Songs shud b like the Maiden tunes: lots of cooooooooool guitaring (the most perfect band in terms of combination of guitars, drums and vocals), sexy lyrics and cool rythm. I guess those days r gone :((

I also listen to radio online, mostly Launch. Check it out: I have a link on this page :) It's not completely heavy rock, but a lot of it is.

Anyways, I signoff with the Sabbath song (I just wanna put it here):

You've seen life through distorted eyes
You know you had to learn
The execution of your mind
You really had to turn
The race is run the book is read
The end begins to show
The truth is out, the lies are old
But you don't want to know

Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies

The people who have crippled you
You want to see them burn
The gates of life have closed on you
And now there's just no return
You're wishing that the hands of doom
Could take your mind away
And you don't care if you don't see again
The light of day

Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies

Where can you run to
What more can you do
No more tomorrow
Life is killing you
Dreams turn to nightmares
Heaven turns to hell
Burned out confusion
Nothing more to tell

Everything around you
What's it coming to
God knows as your dog knows
Bog blast all of you
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Nothing more to do
Living just for dying
Dying just for you
