FROSTY’S BOLLYWOOD BLAST

I’m a huge fan of Bollywood films from 1967-1982. I recently visited India and loved the high presence of these amazing movies and the music that accompanies them. Around every corner I was greeted by awesome dance sequences and super Hindi jams. To share this experience with you I’ve selected a few Bollywood favorites for you to dig.

Usha Uthup & Bappi Lahiri-Auva Auva Koi Yahan NacheMeri Nazar Hai Tuj Pe – the Burning Train (1980)Justice Chaudhury / SrideviKarle pyar karle – Talash (1969)MORPHO’S MOMENTS IN MOTION

Art of Noise – Moments in Love
From somewhere between creepy and surreal comes this rarely seen Art of Noise video for the orchestral classic, Moments in Love. A conically-costumed lady and her gentleman partner dance on ice for a room of aristocratic weirdoes, while one of the guests, a masked and mustached man, appears to struggle with lovelorn memories of his childhood turtle. Don’t worry though, once you watch, it will all become clear. And by “clear,” I mean, utterly baffling.The Vaselines – You Think You’re A Man / Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam
What a treat! Eugene Kelly and Frances McKee, together known as The Vaselines, reunited over the summer for an intimate little gathering in London. It’s probably been over ten years since they last played together, and while they might be a little rusty, the music shines bright through the cobwebs, lit by their jovial spirit and brilliant songwriting. Hopefully they’ll head stateside sometime soon.Prince Far I – Throw Away Your Gun
“Love is good!” The gravely-voiced prince sends thick words from soundsystem to souls in this seductively-painted chronicle of life in 1970’s Jamaica.Fugazi – Waiting Room
Five years after the demise of Minor Threat, and one year after forming as a band, Fugazi rocked this Washington D.C. community center into a state of elevated madness. The all ages show reached its pinnacle with a thunderous rendition of Waiting Room, where the punk kids bounced wildly and the band – shirtless, sweaty, and inches away from its devoted crowd – promptly knocked the roof off.Love – Your Mind and We Belong Together
A proto-video from 1967, featuring the original Love gents as they tromp through the woods, eat ice cream, drive around and stir up mischief. It’s a beautiful, washed-out 16mm memory of our man, Mr. Arthur Lee. Rest in Peace.
