    I think Mozilla has a pair of the coolest application icons with both Firefox and Thunderbird. What's your favorite application icon?

    I kinda like the Notepad icon in XP. :-O Seriously! "Reality is what refuses to go away when I stop believing in it." Philip K. Dick

      I took a look around. My favorite right now is the Matlab icon. Simple and neat. The worst is the realplayer 10 (I need it to stream Indian music) which sucks just as bad as the actual product. "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."

          You should try Indian music sometime. I think you'll find it different and melodious.

                Some Indian music is cool - not to mention the videos which range from hilarious to "man, did you see the hips on that chick?" :-D And I also like western music influenced by Indian music (as well as Arabic, Chinese and Celtic music). Sadly, there's too little fusion between different music cultures. The result of such fusions are often very good! -- Komm tu mir langsam weh, leg mir die Ketten an und zieh die Knoten fest, damit ich lachen kann I blog too now[^]

                  Here is a list of instrumental Carnatic music (which originated in South India many centuries ago) http://www.musicindiaonline.com/l/3/i/[^] This person who plays the saxaphone is one of my favorite music artistes.

It was part of a cultural festival. It was real great fun doing it. As you say, there's no one that really studies two branches of music and tries to integrate it.

                      I like the Office 2003 icons. They may not be 16,000 colours and animated to look like a DVD but they are nice and clean and straightforward.

                        I've tried it too and it has worked for both video and audio. Way better then the "real" thing.

                              Wow, this looks cool I have to check it out. I'm already using QuickTime alternative which allows me to play MOV files in media player, much better than the QuickTime player asking you to purchase the full version everytime it's started. I think it's here: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickTime_Alternative.htm[^] Rado

                                I know one of the artists listed there - Subramaniam - I've got an old tape with album "Conversations" by Subramaniam and Grappelli, very interesting music, thanks for the links. :) Rado

                                        For Arabic/English fusions, check out:

                                        • Sting's "Desert Rose"
                                        • James Brown and Hakim's "Leila"
                                        • and Aerosmith (I believe) has a song influenced by Arabic music)

                                        Also, check out Tarkan's "Simarik" which is the original Turkish version of the English song Stella Soleil's "Kiss Kiss".

                                          Some Indian music is cool - not to mention the videos which range from hilarious to "man, did you see the hips on that chick?" :-D And I also like western music influenced by Indian music (as well as Arabic, Chinese and Celtic music). Sadly, there's too little fusion between different music cultures. The result of such fusions are often very good! -- Komm tu mir langsam weh, leg mir die Ketten an und zieh die Knoten fest, damit ich lachen kann I blog too now[^]

                                          I've looked around for music that mixes some African or Asian sounds with Western, too. Most of what I've found is heavily electronic, but I'm finding more. A great one that fuses African and Celtic is Afro-Celt Sound System. Some other groups I like are: Dzihan & Kamien(Middle East/Jazz/Trip-Hop), Banco de Gaia(Middle East/Asian/Techno), Kazu Matsui(New Age/Japan), Geoffrey Oryema(African/Pop), Recently, I've been listening to the Soundtrack of "House of Flying Daggers" by Shigeru Umebayashi. Really good. [edit] Not a fusion, but I just remembering aconcert of saw a year or so ago. Kodo Drummers[^] a traditional Japanese Taiko group. Absolutely amazing! Nothing but percussion, but I was blown away. They have several CDs available, though I haven't listened to any yet. (I don't want anything to ruin my concert experience :rolleyes: ) BW
