Its a creative world outside!!! I know Joseph Thomas as a blogger and met him through the BlogCamp Kerala in August. What really caught my attention was a recent newspaper article about him in a national newspaper. He is the founder of Blogswara, which is a interesting mix of audio-blogging.

What is blogswara?

Blogswara is an internet music community which acts as a common platform for musicians (a majority of whom are amateurs) to showcase their talent before the world by producing original music and share it over the internet.

Music does wonders to all of us. But can it help in boosting our productivity? I had sometime back stumbled upon on some article where the author said that jazz is the best companion for the freelance writer. Unfortunately I did not note the URL or the specifics of the article.

But since the start of this week, I have been trying out almost every variety of music out there and test my productivity with it. I initially started of with my own site which had some common genres of radio stations online. I hate playing music on the system since it limits the type of music you can listen to.

Its been quite a while since Kerala got its private radio stations and Cochin is the last city to join the party. I never thought radio was boring since its quite an engaging thing while driving or while just taking a rest at the couch. I usually tune into the All India Radio once in a while in the evenings where Rainbow FM plays the latest hindi tracks and the RJ’s are pretty cool too. If you looking for the stations in Cochin now, this post by Mahesh will help.

This weeks video is about Vampire Weekend, a band. What got me attracted to this video was its really cool video and music. Seems more like a kindergarten rhyme to me. Worth listening to about 5 times, then simple close the window and move on They seem to have a lot of other videos too. Happy weekend folks while I do my maths homework!!!
