jaigens, yeah, I have heard that speech, almost an IR unplugged sssion, albeit not in direct relation to hi smusic. Know exactly what you mean, though he did reuse some of his praise on Jayakanthan, comparing him to other literary giants of the past in the Vaali felicitation. It was just ctrl-c, ctrl-v, replace JK by Vaali :-)
"'cos what is the need to revive this thread and throw it open"
rajdes, what I posted earlier, the link, was related to TIS and thats the reason I did so. And it was a new development, albeit not a one that I liked too much. Plus it was addressed to his fans, some of whom here might have missed it. A few people over at the yahoo club were still upset over it and they constitute the "active" fan base- those who really worked their tails off on this. I thought this was serious.
"I think without giving up on the DF, one could ignore the trouble makers but hey,"
true but some of the "trouble makers" happened to be regular DFers in the case of the TIS issue, against whom I had to constantly defend my points alone and hence to you it might have appeared that I was "relentless". Also, at that time, I probably might have had more time on my hands :-)
"suppose we cornered IR and accused him of "drop in standards" and suppose he turns around and says "yeah, but look at the standards around me , look at the directors who come to me. Some of them veterans like BM,, look at the kind of movies they are making now. so there." Suppose?"
Look how far you are stretching things :-)
IR gets paid to do his job. If he is satisfied with the product that he puts forth and consequently the lesser pay/market value that he gets right now compared to say 15 years back, then as fans we cant do much about it, can we? (and in fact BM was upset it seems that his recent movie wasnt received well, so he seems to think high of his product) BTW, I dont consider it as an "accusation", merely an observation on the standards of his music(and a subjective one at that) laced with angst. But to some, it could come across as an accusation, especially when they still feel that his current music is impeccable. And hence the debates will go on..
Hi - where can I get to read good reviews of HOW TO NAME IT ? and NOTHING BUT WIND online ?
I dont think it is a good idea by IR to talk about piracy now. Earlier, when raajangahm started, he made many of the organizers take down the huge collection of real audio songs they had setup online. That time I did not doubt his sincerity. Now I do reasons -
1. It sounds like an excuse to back up the TIS publishers claim of selling only few CDs
2. An attempt to gauge the interest in the fan base after the TIS controversary.
3. A real attempt in vain to deny why this work did not meet with that much commercial as he would have liked it.
Anyways, I could have been mistaken on all three counts (as I am still getting over his handling of things with TIS :-) )
BTW, the next non-film album from IR, will be better in quality/technicality than TIS for sure, but I am certain it will sell even lesser than TIS. I dont think the fan base has the same level of enthusiasm and commitment as before.
