New Pentagram video is about becoming conscious of your rights
Tomorrow's Decided is the second video of Mumbai based electro-rock band Pentagram, shot from their fourth studio album Bloodywood.
    Fronted by Vishal Dadlani, and produced by one of the most prolific guitarists in Indian music, Randolph Correia, this 14-track album also features Shiraz Bhattacharya on drums and Papal Mane on bass.
    The video was shot amidst the madness of Mumbai’s most crazy party — the Ganpati Visarjan. The song is about changing your mindset and not being afraid of what you want to say. This socially relevant song that was born in the jam room, is today one of the most sought after. “We were in the jam room. Shiraz regularly plays this beat, when we’re jamming, which is a very street beat. Randolph stared to play a riff over it, Papon joined in, and I sang what eventually became the chorus. The song was born like that, out of a natural progression with the band,” shares Vishal.
    Speaking about how the video came about,
Vishal shares, “When I was discussing the lyrics for the song in the Juhu band room, we didn’t want it to be directly about standing up for your rights. We wanted to talk about changing one’s mindset and fighting that battle within yourself and becoming more conscious on your own. The song is about where we come from and who we are as a band.”
    He further adds, "Initially, we used to refer to the song as the ‘Ganpati’ song because those are the rhythms you hear at Ganpati. Eventually, I was working with the video’s director Ravi Jadhav on a Marathi film with him, and we spoke about this and he was very excited. We didn’t know how to get the permissions to shoot, and how to set up the band in the middle of visarjan, so he spent a couple of weeks figuring the production out. Most people came around when we told them what the song was about – everyone agreed with the spirit of the song. The whole video could not have happened without Ravi Jadhav.”

Album of Jimi Hendrix’s unreleased tracks out in 2013
A foreign publication has reported, much to the delight of legions of the guitar legend Jimi Hendrix's fans that 32 years after the star's death, a new album of previously unreleased tracks is expected to hit stores early next year. People, Hell and Angels is a 12-song collection of “experimental” cuts recorded between 1968 and 1969. These tracks were originally intended for the long-shelved First Rays of the New Rising Sun. The songs are said to reflect Jimi’s harderedged later, funkier style of playing as opposd to the psychedelic flourishes of his earlier work.
