watch CokeStudio Season4 Ep-3


Coke Studio journeys through time with episode three, presenting genres and artists that cover a cross section of music that is representative of generations of listeners. Through a set of performances it outlines a history – presenting samples of music that capture the essence of an era – from the diversity of music that defines the present to flavours from the recent history of contemporary music and on to the sounds that are a part of our heritage.
Tracing the inspiration of some of today’s music back to an ancient source, the Episode begins with Mole’s “Baageshri”  - an experimental fusion track that defies labeling by conventional genre. The band utilizes modern tools of technology side by side with familiar instruments both modern and traditional to achieve a sound that is uniquely fresh.
Next, Sanam Marvi embraces the deeply spiritual poetry of Sachal Sarmast as she takes centre stage at Coke Studio with “Ith Naheen”. The musical arrangement has an ambient lounge feel and provides the perfect foil for this complex composition. The overall effect, crafted in the manner of a sound-scape, keeps the focus on Marvi as she projects the force of the powerful verses through her expression, diction and delivery.

Episode 3 continues with Bilal Khan’s “Lamha” - a dark, brooding song that expresses, both lyrically and musically, an emotional response to loss. The pronounced dholak groove rises with the song’s emotional temperature, building up to a dhamaal-like fervor that remains appropriately unresolved to the end.

Jal returns to Coke Studio in Episode 3 with an experimental version of “Panchi”, a popular song from Jal’s first album. The band collaborates with promising new singer Quratulain Baloch as they take a nostalgic trip down memory lane to Jal’s very first encounter with fusion – “Tere Ishq Mein jo bhi Doob Gaya”.
Following a path that began with “Sighra Aaween Saanwal Yaar” in Episode 1 and continued in Episode 2 with “Kanga”, Episode 3 presents a fusion performance by one of the custodians of the ancient art-form of eastern classical music – Ustaad Naseer-ud-din Saami. “Mundari” is a classical piece in the raag, Adana – a raag that is known to have the effect of holding a listener captive by its beauty and for the bitter-sweet emotion that it can invoke. This rendition is an imaginative and creative performance by Ustaad Saami and contains some skillfully executed improvisation. Coke Studio makes this experimental attempt at combining Eastern classical music with Western accompaniment with minimal constraint on the creative liberty of Ustaad Saami and a respectful adherence to the requirements of the art-form.

As Coke Studio crosses the half-way mark of the season’s musical journey the boundaries of fusion recede to afford a clear insight into our musical past and a glimpse of the unlimited possibilities ahead.

Youtube 320p to 420p AutoSwitch Fullscreen Problem Fixed

A way of fixing it though a script that blocks YouTube from automatically switching out the videos from 360p to 480p when we go fullscreen. In my opinion Google/YouTube has really screwed up their website by forcing this "new feature" on us. What's worse? They expect us to login to our YouTube accounts in order to avoid that auto bit-rate switch from happening, via user settings. That's ridiculous.
Alright, let's get to it, shall we?
You will need three things in order to make it work.
1. Firefox  (www.firefox.com)
2. Greasemonkey  (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748/)
3. The script itself  (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/49366)
It's very simple and there's no need to configure or set anything up.
Presuming you already have Firefox (step 1), just install Greasemonkey (step 2) so that Firefox can use/install the script, then install the script itself (step 3).
It's that easy.
Keep in mind you might need to restart your Firefox browser a couple of times during the install process. That's completely normal.
That's it! You are now free from that  EVIL resolution change and rebuffering on YouTube when you go fullscreen.
I'm using this setup myself and I'm loving it.
@Impeccable: Thank you!  You're the man!
@Youtube/Google:  Thanks for nothing !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers,

Download Fahad Khan-Udaas Debut Music Video and Audio

Debut music video of Fahad Khan. www.fahadmusic.com
Hailing from a pathan family, Fahad was born and raised in the fast moving city of Karachi. A quiet but inquisitive kid, he was always keen on exploring new dimensions and things of life. That curiousity finally led him to the exploration of music. He immediately knew this is what he wanted to and was naturally gifted for it.

He started singing in family gatherings and in outings with friends but finally decided to make use of his ability and to produce a music album. He was introduced to Shahzad Hasan (shahi) of Vital signs who has been one of the leading music producers of pakistan in recent times. That kickstarted a musical journey which was, as fahad states, "A sterling and impacting experience". They have been working together on Fahad's album and now after Shahi's new found love of photography and movie making, he has also directed Fahad's first video for the song "UDAAS". It is a soft romantic ballad with breath taking photography in the video. A sure treat to look forward to.

Pakistan to restores YouTube, block certain videos

ISLAMABAD — Pakistan have restored access to YouTube but will block videos offensive to Muslims that are posted on the video-sharing site, the government said Wednesday.
A number of high-profile websites were blocked in Pakistan last week over offensive content, such as a Facebook page that urges users to post images of Islam's Prophet Muhammad. Many citizens supported the crackdown, but some questioned why entire sites were blocked rather than specific pages or videos.
The government seemed to move in that direction Wednesday by deciding it would restore access to YouTube but continue to block videos "displaying profane or sacrilegious material," said Najibullah Malik, the secretary at Pakistan's information technology ministry.
The government is issuing orders to Internet service providers to implement the decision, he said. YouTube was yet not available as of Wednesday evening in the capital.
Facebook is still blocked, and Malik said no decision on it would be made until a court hearing at the end of the month.
Most Muslims regard depictions of the prophet, even favorable ones, as blasphemous.
Large and sometimes violent protests erupted in Pakistan and other Muslim nations in 2006 when a Danish newspaper published cartoons of Muhammad, and again in 2008 when the cartoons were reprinted.

Pakistan blocks YouTube over blasphemous material

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has blocked the popular video sharing website YouTube in a bid to contain blasphemous material, officials said on Thursday.

The blockade came hours after the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) directed Internet service providers to stop access to social network Facebook indefinitely on Wednesday because of an online competition to draw the Prophet Mohammad (Peace be upon him) in gross violation of fundamental human rights pertaining to one’s religion.

Wahaj-us-Siraj, the CEO of Nayatel, an Internet service provider, said PTA issued an order late on Wednesday seeking an "immediate" blockade of YouTube.

"It was a serious instruction as they wanted us to do it quickly and let them know after that," he said while talking to a UK-based news agency.

YouTube was also blocked in the Muslim country in 2007 for about a year for what it called un-Islamic videos.

A PTA official, who declined to be identified, said the action was taken after the authority determined that some sacrilegious caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad were transferred from Facebook to YouTube.

Representation of any prophet is deemed un-Islamic and blasphemous in Islam, let alone the caricature or cartoon of these divine personages.

Siraj said the blocking of the two websites would cut up to 25 percent of total Internet traffic in Pakistan.

"It'll have an impact on the overall Internet traffic as they eat up 20 to 25 percent of the country's total 65 giga-bytes traffic," he said.

Publications of similar cartoons in Danish newspapers in 2005 sparked deadly protests in Muslim countries. Around 50 people were killed during violent protests in Muslim countries in 2006 over the cartoons, five of them in Pakistan.

Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for a suicide attack on Denmark's embassy in Islamabad in 2008, killing six people, saying it was in revenge for publication of the caricatures.
