I got my first taste of Martha Graham when I saw a history of dance (Ballet and Modern) show.  The Lamentation dance was what I saw, and I loved it.  I love the music too.

Tributes: I Heart….Grace Jones

I admit, I didn’t get truly interested in Grace until I saw Corporate Cannibal.  I’ve always known about her, but I’ve never gotten into her.  Now with her latest album, I’m a believer.  I love her, she’s so unapologetic about who she is.   She’s very worldly, has a very pleasant voice, thoughtful lyrics, and is very good at creating music. 

I wish I could have a fraction of her coolness, and I will buy her latest album, “Hurricane”.

Slave To The Rhythm

Tributes: I Heart…Shahrukh Khan

I love Shahrukh Khan, he’s a beautiful man who doesn’t take himself seriously.  Some of my favorite musical bits from the various movies of SRK.  I will not be posting videos from Devdas and Don, because I have already dedicated whole posts to them already.

From Asoka.  Asoka holds a special place in my heart because this movie was my official viewing of a Bollywood picture.  And my first viewing of Shahrukh himself.  He is so beautiful here in every scene he’s in, I have to go, “Stop it, I’m trying to follow the plot!”  Oh, and Kareena Kapoor is really cool herself.

O Re Kaanchi (I love this song, but what is up with Ashoka giving Kaurwaki the cold shoulder?)

Tributes: I Heart….Madhuri Dixit

The Divine Madhuri as Chandramukhi in Devdas.  I have a girlcrush on this beautiful lady. 

Dola re Dola with Aishwarya Rai.  Madhuri and Rai had such wonderful chemistry together.  So much that I wanted Paro and Chandramukhi to run away and become a couple themselves.
