made my day really

[arvind_sampath]

ok, maybe the word "big" is a little intimidating. i didn't mean it to be...by "big", i meant, sites that have been "big" finds for you. Personally. Please, let it have nothing to do with oneupmanship, and let's not reduce it to a silly game of my-find-is-bigger-than-yours. chances are, if the find meant something to you, it will resonate with others too, so bring on the love and the knowledge!

i'll try to get things started. if my list is too tedious for you, or just speaks a different language from yours, please don't mind. increasingly, i find that there aren't many who share my interests, but that isn't something i can control, is it? so here goes anyway.

ummm...

Want to have an introduction to classical music, but all the guys who know anything about it are snobs, so you've never considered it seriously. Start here:

International radio stations?

If you've ever wondered what indian classical is all about:

Art:

The great gustav klimt, one of my favourite artists:

I'm sure you can find a lot on your private trackers, for those of you that are members, but somehow, going through a blog, where the cover art is in front of you, and there's usually a good write-up or two, and links to other sources of information, is, i'm sure you'll agree, a delight on its own.

Cheers and happy discovering!
