The Condom Ringtone
BBC World Service is offering a free ringtone for your cell phone that goes “condom, condom” and is aimed at an effort to make the word ‘condom’ more socially acceptable [via]. Whether you use it or not, it is pretty hilarious!

Download Music Online - The Barely Legal Way
Don’t you miss the days of Napster and Kazaa when any music soundtrack was just a click away? But thanks to the bullyish ways of RIAA who haven’t recognized the changing trends in music sales, we were penalized heavily for even trying to download single tracks for our personal use (until iTunes knocked some sense [...]

Still Popular?
An uber cool map of popularity of music in different countries. Apparently, India can never get enough of Bryan Adams, Pink Floyd, and Backstreet Boys.

Free and Legal Music
Music will never be free, says RIAA. Mashable begs to differ as it compiles a list of places to get free and legal music. Plenty of choices there.
Update: You might also want to check out this option where you can download music in a barely legal way.

Radiohead’s Music Sale Experiment
Radiohead is experimenting with a ‘pay what you want’ model for their latest album. It might be perfectly rational to pay nothing at all but the ‘warm glow’ of buyers is averaging the sales price to around $8. Is this like offering the other cheek to combat piracy?

Blue Skies
This wonderful picture captured by Twilight Fairy reminded me of the song I last heard on the GE commercial (I think). Thanks to my awful memory, I couldn’t recall anything apart from Blue Skies but thanks to Google, the complete lyrics could be unearthed. Incidentally the song was the most popular one in 1929 especially [...]

Sanjaya Malakar is America’s Revenge against American Idol
America is probably hating and bringing down American Idol by voting for Sanjaya Malakar. And he is playing along by giving them every reason to hate him and love him at the same time.

Sanjaya as a Lucha Libre wrestler
Nope, don’t worry, that is not Sanjaya Malakar although the resemblance is uncanny. That is Esqueleto (Hector Jimenez) in Jack Black’s Nacho Libre. The relevant video trailer for Nacho Libre can be accessed here. Is it a strange coincidence that next week is Latin Night on American Idol and Vote for the Worst is hoping [...]

Camila Recchi - Sanjaya Malakar’s ‘talented’ cousin?
In an effort to inundate you with Malakar news and subsequently drop the ’serious-quotient’ of this blog to abysmal levels, I present to you Sanjaya Malakar’s talented cousin - Camila Recchi. Rumor has it that she will be trying out for next year’s American Idol. It seems that the Malakars are planning on owning American [...]

Sanjaya Malakar Hair Styles
The comedian, Eric Schwartz who shot the insanely hilarious and catch Sanjaya Anthem has now come up with yet another video on Sanjaya. This time, he presents Sanjaya hair styles for spring holidays. Enjoy!
I was rebuked earlier for dragging Bush into the Malakar conspiracy (voting for the wrong guy, etc.) and I even admitted that [...]

Starving for Sanjaya is too much work
This is freaking hilarious. First, I don’t understand why people are getting their panties (or undies) in a twist over a dumb reality show (again, it isn’t about singing.) But all wackiness was surpassed when a certain ’sparklechick’ embarked on a hunger strike to vote Sanjaya out [YouTube link.] As Anna at Sepia Mutiny says, [...]

Sanjaya Malakar makes little girls cry
I am surprised that a storm has been brewing [CelebTV video] outside the die hard American Idol fan base over the continued presence of Sanjaya Malakar. However, after yesterday’s episode, he might just stay another week if not more. Sanjaya shed his shy guy image, sang “You Really Got Me“, pranced around the stage & [...]

Racist motivations behind Sanjaya Malakar’s presence on American Idol?
It is not every day that I am called a specialist on American Idol opinions. But since Confused referred to me as such on DesiPundit, I’ll try to sneak in an opinion. Mera Gussa blogging on the O3 domain attributed Sanjaya’s continued presence as racist behavior by Indians. The blogger says:
The Indian/Indian origin population in [...]

Sanjaya Malakar pips Sundance and joins American Idol Top 12
Well, you might think he cannot sing those high notes and merely whispers his Stevie Wonder rendition and guess what, you might be right. But America prefers a brown desi kid to a Pearl Jam rendition by one of the better singers, Sundance Head in American Idol. This is the first time a desi has [...]

Sanjaya Malakar in last 16
…but barely scraping by. But not according to Dial Idol, which ranked him #2 below Sundance Head. I don’t think the American Idol contestants are checking out the buzz otherwise they wouldn’t be so tense on judgment day. He didn’t have the best of the performances and was actually ripped apart by the judges. But [...]
