Tashan Mein Song Lyrics - Tashan

(Heeyyyy..
Tali bajawe naache gaawe

Heeyyyy..
Tali bajawe naache gaawe

Hum suraj pe garam huye hai
Kabhi sharam pe sharam huye hai
Thode naadan hai
(Humpe hai rahe teer sikandar ka
Humpe kurban ha neel samundar ka) —-(2)
Hum jaise hai, kismet ke lakh sawari hai
Apni tho baat magar kuch nirali hai

Billboard 200

The Billboard 200 is a ranking of the 200 highest-selling music albums and EPs in the United States, published weekly by Billboard magazine. It is frequently used to convey the popularity of an artist or groups of artists. Often, a recording act will be remembered by its "number ones", those of their albums that outsold all others during at least one week.
The chart is based solely on sales (both at retail and digitally) in the United States. The sales tracking week begins on Monday and ends on Sunday. A new chart is published the following Thursday with an issue date of the following Saturday.

Example: Monday 1 January — sales tracking week begins Sunday 7 January — sales tracking week ends Thursday 11 January — new chart published, with issue date of Saturday 20 January.
Normally new product is released to the American market on Tuesdays. Digital downloads are included in Billboard 200 tabulation, as long as the entire album is purchased as a whole. Albums that are not licensed for retail sale in the United States (yet purchased in the U.S. as imports) are not eligible to chart.

Binaural recording and reproduction.

Binaural literally means "having or relating to two ears." Binaural hearing, along with frequency cues, lets humans and other animals determine direction of origin of sounds.



Binaural recording

Binaural recording is a method of recording audio which uses a special microphone arrangement. Dummy head recording refers to a specific method of capturing the audio, generally using a bust.
The term "binaural" has often been confused as a synonym for the word "stereo", and this is partially due to a large amount of misuse in the mid-1950s by the recording industry, as a marketing buzzword. Conventional stereo recordings do not factor in natural crossfeed or sonic shaping of the head and ear, since these things happen naturally as a person listens, generating their own ITDs (interaural time differences) and ILDs (interaural level differences).



Recording technique



With a simple recording method, two microphones are placed seven inches (18cm) apart facing away from each other. This method will not create a real binaural recording. The distance and placement roughly approximates the position of an average human's ear canals, but that is not all that is needed. More elaborate techniques exist in pre-packaged forms. A typical binaural recording unit has two high-fidelity microphones mounted in a dummy head, inset in ear-shaped molds to fully capture all of the audio frequency adjustments (known as head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) in the psychoacoustic research community) that happen naturally as sound wraps around the human head and is "shaped" by the form of the outer and inner ear. The Neumann KU-81, and KU-100 are the most commonly used binaural packages. The KEMAR system is another alternative. The HEAD acoustics aachenhead unit does automatic equalization and processing to create a more enveloping experience. Other alternatives are the B&K[1] and the 01dB-Metravib[2] acoustic heads. The last one following exactly the IEC959 standard. A simplified version of this, called a Jecklin Disk, used a 30 cm (11.81") acoustically-absorptive disk between the mics, as a compromise. Now the new Disk is 35 cm in diameter and has a spacing of the microphones of 36 cm.[3]
Binaural "in-ear" microphones can be linked to a portable Digital Audio Tape (DAT) or MiniDisc recorder, bypassing the need for a dummy head by using the recordist's own head.



Playback



Once recorded, the binaural effect can be reproduced only using headphones. It does not work with mono playback; nor does it work while using loudspeaker units, as the acoustics of this arrangement distort the channel separation via natural crossfeed (an approximation can be obtained if the listening environment is carefully designed by employing expensive crossfeed cancellation equipment.)
The result is a listening experience that spatially transcends normally recorded stereo, since it accurately reproduces the effect of hearing a sound in person, given the 360° nature of how human ears pick up nuance in the sound waves. Binaural recordings can very convincingly reproduce location of sound behind, ahead, above, or wherever else the sound actually came from during recording.

I really loved you
and now that,
it's all come to an end
I need to go back in time and see what went wrong,
for you to hurt me like this..
all i want to know, is one reason..
why you did all that to me
i really loved you
but why did you hurt me!!

The Reason & Purpose...

Only a few years back i realized how music has inevitably become a part of my existence. some are addicted to their favorite type of music or musicians and music is generally regarded as a medium of entertainment. But the way of music and its role in the lives of fanatics like me are much much more and different!
Right from my early childhood, when morning ragas from mom's kitchen radio used to wake me up, till today where there is 24*7 bumbass, music has taken toll on my lifestyle and the way i think. Music for me is not mere entertainment and just another funny analysis of poetic sense . The very music , the tone , the lyrics is a tool of self analysis, knowing thyself [dunno yet lol] . For me every particular song i loved would remind me of great memorable moments, people i met, places i went and every special thing in my life in chronological order. For me every special song will flash a flashback on my life!
The world is full of facts and interrelated functions. Music is present in every nook and corner of customs and religion so it has got a greater impact on psychology of people and their mental and social discipline. Scientists and physicists co-relate music and investigate probability theory & entropy to the latest string theory, [the so called theory of everything]!
May be greatest number of people and vast landscapes captured were through battles and war. But the greatest number of hearts were captured through music! The greatest charity funds ever raised was through music. Music is beyond political boundaries and can serve as the universal language of brotherhood. College life, net, and the LAN have provided me unlimited access to music. Friends introduced me to loads of hit numbers. Thus it would be of immense pleasure if this blog would be a common platform for sharing music reviews and your musical experiences!!
