Guardian today:
Bollywood movie fans will soon be able to download full-length
features with the file-sharing software Kazaa. A deal struck between
a partner of Sharman Networks Ltd, the company which owns Kazaa, and
IndiaFM.com, a popular entertainment site, will allow Indian film
producers to distribute movies, music and other large, rich media
files online to an estimated 60 million international Kazaa users.
The move follows a pilot scheme in November when Bollywood thriller
Supari was offered for sale at US $2.99 and promoted through Kazaa
prior to its release in India. The file was designed to self destruct
after being watched and could not be copied.

04/13/2004 11:17 AM
A few days ago,
Jonno pointed me to a
Bollywood-flavored remake of Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop Til You Get
Enough," which he found on a supercool sekrit MP3 blog that shall
remain nameless. This track is phat. This track is funky. This track
makes me want to do a little dance in my
ergonomic
chair. A little google-digging reveals the song is by a group
called the Bollywood Freaks, and came out on a limited edition red
vinyl 7" in the UK. I want to send them money for the funk they
provide. I want more of their music. If anyone has info,
cough it up.
But for now -- look! Someone dumped a copy of said funky track on a
server somewhere. Download the MP3 while it lasts. Link

06/04/2004 10:46 AMFollowing up on
this previous BoingBoing post about the Bollywood Freaks mashup
"Don't Stop 'til You Get to Bollywood," BoingBoing reader
Mike says:
This was only a very slightly re-tweaked version of a tune from an
early 1980s Bollywood soundtrack, as sung by the well-known Indian
singer Usha Uthup. (The tune's original title is "Chhupke Kaun Aya".)
The Usha Uthup version has just been re-released on CD in the UK, as
part of a 2CD mix set called "The Trip", mixed by Tom Middleton.
But you ain't heard nothing yet! Usha's greatest work, which dates
from the same era, is the utterly INSANE "One Two Cha Cha Cha". (This
also quotes from a classic disco hit.) This track is available on a
1997 compilation called "In Flight Entertainment Vol.2" - and also as
an MP3 on my blog for the next week or two.

"While I was supposed to be studying for finals, I made a mix CD to

time, so I also made a big web site that has all the tracks from the
CD, plus some more, and a lot of other information to explain
Bollywood movies and music, and also to help a bit with language."
Far from a waste of time, David's terrific site includes a "bollywood

gems in here, in particular the rockin' 1960s numbers.

Vishal points us to a spectacularly
cheesy Indian TV ad starring yet another one of my

preferred love-note carrier is alright by me).
Vishal says, "This Ad is really popular in India, and I was surprised
to find that the good people at Coke have it online too (RealPlayer).
It features one of the hottest young actors in Bollywood, Vivek Oberoi, and features
many in-jokes to '70s Bollywood films (note, especially, the lightbulb
dress in the 3rd segment, a direct lift from a classic 70's movie)."
Footnote to menswear trendwatchers: take a tip from Vivek, at left --
pink vomit prints are the new black.
Update: BoingBoing reader Berklee totally
harshes my mellow by saying, "Excellent choice for a future husband,
but you'll have to wait until he's done with Aishwarya Rai, I'm afraid.
Meanwhile, I recommend [a 2002 film starring Oberoi titled] Company. Go rent it

60 Minutes: Google, Battelle, and
Bollywood
01/02/2005 11:06 PMXeni Jardin:
Well -- not all together in the same story, though that might have
been even more interesting.
The CBS television program 60
Minutes featured a lengthy segment on Google this evening which included
astute comment from John
Battelle, who moonlights as BoingBoing's Reuben
Kincaid when he's not writing books,
building empires, and tracking search tech trends here. Snip from the transcript:
"If anybody got a Porsche or a Ferrari right now at Google, they’d
probably be drummed out of the company," observes John Battelle, an
author and entrepreneur who has been following Silicon Valley
companies for 20 years. He says, "Google has a brand image to
maintain. And their image is they’re all about innovation and
they’re all about the Internet, and they’re all about trust.
They’re not about selling out. They’re not about getting rich
quick. So you’ve got a culture like that; I think if anyone were to
buy, you know, a new Mercedes convertible and drive around with the
stereo blaring, and miss work a couple days because they’re rich
now, that would not be acceptable behavior at Google.
"But trust me," he adds. "There’s a Mercedes convertible in every
one of their heads. There is. And it will…come out. Over time, it
will come out."
The show also included a killer piece on Indian film star and
hyperbolic superbeauty
Aishwarya Rai. Snip:
The reason Bollywood films have such universal appeal is because
they’re squeaky-clean. There are no sex scenes, not even kissing.
Every time you think someone’s going to do it, they'll burst into
song instead. "I'd assume that's really a reflection of our society,"
Rai says, when asked to explain the films' modesty. "Of course people
kiss and of course people have a very healthy love life. This is the
land of the Kama Sutra. But nevertheless, in our society you don't
really see people around the street corner kissing or being extremely,
overtly, physically demonstrative publicly. They do it privately but
not publicly."

Badass Bollywood dance-off Saturday in
San Francisco
02/05/2005 09:25 PMXeni Jardin:
Terrific
SF Chronicle article about a Bollywood dance
competition taking place in San Francisco tomorrow. Snip:
Growing up in Calcutta, I rarely watched Hindi films. Going to the
movies usually meant viewing English-language evergreens like "Born
Free" and "Willie Wonka," or hoary literary classics with dialogue in
my native Bengali. Bollywood was a risqué world with money but little
class where the vamps flashed thigh and cleavage and the heroes kept
their shirts unbuttoned. At my school, we had regular "hair check"
days, at which school staff made sure our locks were not curling over
our collars like some "two-bit Bombay film star." We knew Bollywood
produced more films than Hollywood, and millions of Indians queued up
on opening weekend to buy tickets on the black market, but I was
taught to look down my nose at the genre's kitschy excess.
Now, to my surprise, Bollywood is entering the American mainstream,
thanks to movies such as Mira Nair's art-house hit "Monsoon Wedding"
and the Bollywood-inspired pageantry of "Moulin Rouge." Indian beauty
queen Aishwarya Rai recently appeared on "60 Minutes," and rapper Dr.
Dre was slapped with a lawsuit for mixing a snatch of an old Hindi
song into his single "Addictive." It's also hit academia in
media-studies courses on campuses from UC Berkeley to MIT.
Link (
Thanks, Brian "Badass" Lam!).
Update:
Boing Boing reader Kevin H
points out that the author of this SF Chron story appears to have made
a minor error:
Dr. Dre didn't have a single called "Addictive". The single was for Truth Hurts, and it
featured a blistering Rakim rap. Truth Hurts is an artist on Dre's
label Aftermath Records. DJ Quik produced the single. It drips with
hotness.

Bollywood Signs Up For Kazaa Movie
Downloads... But Not Really
12/23/2003 05:39 PMThere have been a few stories about "legitimate" companies doing deals
with Kazaa, but once you get past the headline, you realize that it's
not true at all. Just like all those other deals the headlines
trumpeting a deal between some
some Bollywood film makers and
Kazaa isn't really about Kazaa at all. Instead, it's a deal with
Kazaa's sister company Altnet, which runs a service within Kazaa to
distribute approved copy protected content. So, this isn't at all
about film makers understanding the promotional value of free
downloads, but rather them trying to piggyback copy protection (in
this case files that supposedly "self-destruct" after a single $3
viewing) on the popularity of Kazaa. The deal isn't even that good.
$3 for a product that self-destructs after a single viewing? You get
a better deal going to the local video store. Meanwhile, though, they
get all the publicity of having the film "offered on Kazaa". All
Altnet is really doing is bolting a pay-for service (like iTunes) into
Kazaa. It doesn't leverage the real benefits of a distributed file
sharing network at all.

Chris points us to this blast
from the online past:
"Another corporate '70s Bollywood spoof, this time by Absolut Vodka. ~10 minute film,
made in 2002, filmed in India. It's a Bollywood pseudohistory of the
mullet.
Entertaining enough story (a little long...) - but really
well-crafted, with awesome songs and dancing. Low-level product
placement - no actual bottles or mention of vodka - but the familiar
Absolut shape makes subtle appearances."
The film's hilarious, but -- OMGWTF! Do my own eyes betray me? Look
closely at the faux promo poster screengrabbed at left. Is the male
lead in Absolut Mulit not wearing a shirt with the exact
same pink vomit print that
Vivek Oberoi wears in the aforementioned Vanilla Coke Bollywood
ad? Perhaps this is a secret, ironic reference to pink vomit
couture featured in a real Bollywood film -- and I'm not enough of an
Indian cinema buff to get the joke. If any intrepid BoingBoing readers
know the answer, do
tell.

1 Million Free Songs for Download
07/29/2004 03:28 PMIn my experience, most of the RIAA-hating nerds who swear they'll
never to buy another album again continue to download copyrighted,
RIAA-financed music from less-than-legal sources (and I've done it,
too, so simmer down). What's crazy, though, is that if you
really don't want to bend any laws, there is a wealth of free
music online -- and The Red Ferret Journal just set up a Wiki (a
user-edited web page) to make it even easier. There are hundreds of
thousands of freely downloadable songs on the websites listed (some of
them are even not techno) and thousands more non-RIAA-backed
labels selling songs, too -- so if you really want to fill up that
iPod without "stealing music," you do have an option to do
so.
Mainly, though, I just wanted you to feel extra guilty when you
download RIAA music anyway.

Charlie Stross's brilliant novel
Accelerando is available as a free Creative Commons download!
This novel collects and bridges all of his Hugo-nominated Manfred Macx
stories, published over the last several years in Asimov's Science
Fiction Magazine. Charlie is a wild talent, and he writes like the
love-child of Vernor Vinge, Neal Stephenson and Hunter S Thompson.
Once you start this book, you won't be able to stop.
Manfred's on the road again, making strangers rich.
It's a hot summer Tuesday, and he's standing in the plaza in front of
the Centraal Station with his eyeballs powered up and the sunlight
jangling off the canal, motor scooters and kamikaze cyclists whizzing
past and tourists chattering on every side. The square smells of water
and dirt and hot metal and the fart-laden exhaust fumes of cold
catalytic converters; the bells of trams ding in the background, and
birds flock overhead. He glances up and grabs a pigeon, crops the
shot, and squirts it at his weblog to show he's arrived. The bandwidth
is good here, he realizes; and it's not just the bandwidth, it's the
whole scene. Amsterdam is making him feel wanted already, even though
he's fresh off the train from Schiphol: He's infected with the dynamic
optimism of another time zone, another city. If the mood holds,
someone out there is going to become very rich indeed.
He wonders who it's going to be.

Manfred sits on a stool out in the car park at the Brouwerij 't IJ,
watching the articulated buses go by and drinking a third of a liter
of lip-curlingly sour gueuze. His channels are jabbering away in a
corner of his head-up display, throwing compressed infobursts of
filtered press releases at him. They compete for his attention,
bickering and rudely waving in front of the scenery. A couple of punks
– maybe local, but more likely drifters lured to Amsterdam by the
magnetic field of tolerance the Dutch beam across Europe like a pulsar
– are laughing and chatting by a couple of battered mopeds in the
far corner. A tourist boat putters by in the canal; the sails of the
huge windmill overhead cast long, cool shadows across the road. The
windmill is a machine for lifting water, turning wind power into dry
land: trading energy for space, sixteenth-century style. Manfred is
waiting for an invite to a party where he's going to meet a man he can
talk to about trading energy for space, twenty-first-century style,
and forget about his personal problems.
He's ignoring the instant messenger boxes, enjoying some
low-bandwidth, high-sensation time with his beer and the pigeons, when
a woman walks up to him, and says his name: "Manfred Macx?"
He glances up. The courier is an Effective Cyclist, all wind-burned
smooth-running muscles clad in a paean to polymer technology: electric
blue lycra and wasp yellow carbonate with a light speckling of anti
collision LEDs and tight-packed air bags. She holds out a box for him.
He pauses a moment, struck by the degree to which she resembles Pam,
his ex-fiance.
