BOLLYWOOD FREAKS
“Don’t Stop ’Til You Get to Bollywoodâ€
(Be Like Water 7-inch, U.K.)
Here’s a great idea: Instead of just using Weblogs to discuss and debate music, why not use them to disseminate music as well? Granted, plenty of bloggers have been hosting occasional MP3s and/or .wav files on their sites for years, but in the past few months there’s been a concentrated wave of folks who devote their energies to bringing you the goods—one or two a day, usually up for a limited time, and, of course, carrying the disclaimer that you’re supposed to erase the material from your hard drive once you’ve gone out and bought the thing, ahem ahem, yes yes, (clears throat). The best I’ve encountered so far is Fluxblog, the dominion of New Yorker Matthew Perpetua, who posted this sweet little Michael Jackson remake the other week. (It’s probably gone now, since like most MP3 bloggers Perpetua only keeps things up for a limited time, though it’s also on Tom Middleton’s forthcoming mix CD, The Trip.) According to Mike of the excellent blog Troubled Diva, “Don’t Stop†is a lightly remixed version of “Chhupke Kaun Aya,†a 1981 track by Usha Uthup, a Bollywood “playback singer,†the common term for the vocalists who fuel India’s massive film industry (some 800 movies a year, most of which are musicals). Kitschy, sure, but when has that ever gotten in the way of good disco?
