Feeling Bollywood style sounds today

I don't know why. It all started when I heard the new Blood Diamonds song with Grimes, who I have a massive girl crush on. Check her interview with Narduwar she's super adorable. And Blood Diamonds, I actually like that song you did with Das Racist. Seriously! Even though it's not really the Das Racist style, it's the most romantic song a bunch of stoner rappers could ever come up with. I loved it.

Anyway Blood Diamonds + Grimes = "Phone Sex". Extra points for that name! It kinda has that Lykke Li breathy, girly feel vocally, but for some reason the hook simultaneously reminds me of the Vengaboys' "Boom Boom Boom Boom" and BOLLYWOOD. I don't know why. But that Calypso steel drum in the beginning got me so good, the steel drum and cowbell are my favourite percussion gimmicks. The song sounds like something a lovelorn heroine in a Bollywood film would lilting croon, except that Grimes is an indie darling du jour. My sleep deprived brain made that connection, somehow. Grimes does like to wear the #tumblr fashion accessory bindi. Go listen to some "Phone Sex" now.  - - - - - - - - - >

And if this is going to be a Bollywood-inspired sounds post, of course Panjabi MC and Jay Z make a cameo. HOVAAAAA. It's dat R-O-C and we don't stop. 

In other, unrelated Bollywood news today, my friend was mad at me for not going out last night (I was hibernating) so we made plans to have a chill date this arvo. She bailed on me at the time we were supposed to meet and I threw the single, perfect, unblemished flower I bought for her out of apology for last night in the bin as I stomped down King Street.  (Immature? Never....)
