Music Yogi: "It is okay if you don't buy our CDs"

A colleague of mine recommended a CD of Karnatriix. I fell in love with their music. And Karnatriix sells their CDs on Music Yogi. I wrote about their "IE only website earlier... If you thought that was bad, check this out.
I called Music Yogi. They provided a number on their website. Some guy picks the phone

Me: Is this Music Yogi?

Guy1: Who is this?

Me: I got your number from the website?!?

Then the guy yells out to some other guy.

Guy2: Hello?

Me: Is this Music Yogi?

Guy2: Yes?

Me: I have some feedback on your websi...

Guy2: Yeah, we are having problems... which CD do you want?

Me: Album called Namaste by Karnatriix?

Guy2: You can send a DD if you want...

Me: Dude! I thought this was 2009??

Guy2: Dude! That's what I told you! The site is not working. I am giving you options.

Me:Listen, I don't think you should get cocky. I mean you're trying to sell something to me and your system is broken! I don't think I have time to go cut a DD... so I...

Guy2: I will give you options, if you don't buy, that's cool too.
Me: !!!! okay! What other options do I have?

Guy2: I'll give you a user id. Use that to log in. Punch in your card details. And we'll send the CD. Or you could transfer the money to an account number and let us know...

Me: Erm, No, I'll pass.

Click!

Whoa! And I thought they were serious about their business. Imagine. He is asking me to use some login credentials that is not mine. And, he has the audacity to ask me to feed my card details. Good luck Music Yogi! And like I said, this is 2009 and it is a sin to be clueless on how to run a simple e-commerce site to sell CDs.

And when you publish a phone number on your fucking website, you don't greet callers with "Who is this?" I am sure you are a cool cat. Been there done that and all that crap, but as a customer I expect a little bit of courtesy.

Kalyani 2

Much better recording quality. Used my PC line-in from my keyboard Yamaha E 403. Still trying to figure out getting the midi file out of the instrument. The software that came with the keyboard sucks! Anyway, hope you like this version.

Kalyani

Yeah, recorded it straight off the keyboard using a headphone mic. So obviously the audio is bad and has a lot of ambient noise. But I want to bounce it off you and hear from you on what you think about the piece. It is pretty catchy and all but can do with some layering. I want some help in recording it too so if you have any expertise (no I am not talking of doing it in a studio, just my comp and keyboard) let me know. Also, if any of you is an exponent of Carnatic vocals, let me know, I need to add some vocals too. Ok, hope you like it.

Un Sirippinil...

Beautiful song. Timeless. I don't care too much about the lyrics but the music is cohesive, stirring, and evocative. Listen to it. Now. Pay attention to the Sax piece and the groovy guitar riff that follows. Harris Jeyaraj! Are you okay?

She was over priced...

...but you know how it works. On a warm Sunday evening I stepped out having made up my mind about quenching that desire. My budget was 3000 bucks. So I walk in and this short, frail guy pops up and says 'Imported or local?' I settled for imported, I mean what the heck!
And then I saw her. I fell for her curves and the dusky posterior. The guy pimping her said 'you have five minutes to decide saar.' I asked him if I could check her out. He agreed. She fell into my lap and as I ran my fingers through her I was entranced and transported into a myriad, ecstatic place and time... And the guy said '6000 Rupees sir.' For one fleeting moment I thought maybe I was doing the wrong thing, but then it was too late. I was in love!
Why don't you take a look at her?
