For first-time radio listeners, the url for HF radio is
http://www.hamaraforums.com:8000/listen.pls
but the easiest way to listen is to just click on the link showing the track or song being played ...on the Home page of HF ..top left hand side corner, below the 'quote of the day'. The program will automatically play on your PC, as an mp3 track.

Me wont come on chat

N

Sorry !! That's not acceptable....please change the chat format back to Java-based chat. It;s more important to have the important participants present on the chat ...than to have the Flash chat because it looks better !! So, pl do the needful, Ms Admin...and be present on the chat. Remember, you have been appointed the 'official' translator too - for the sake of other participants - who are non-tamil speaking !!

Sri

Kaun sunega meri fariyaad

I'd be one of those non-Tamil speaking needing translation participant My radio and chat work fine now. You better be there Nimz!!! I will be there till 3 in the morning

Aap kahe to hona hi parega na Tji

A repeat will be scheduled soon for those who were unable to tune in today. The repeat broadcast, as usual, will be planned for India night time. After the repeat, the song list and the songs themselves will be uploaded on this thread itself.

Sri

Srijiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii please wait till I return

N:(

Does anyone know ..when does Nimii return ? She must've left already.

Sri

Around the 10th ish... (she'll kill me, she's told me often enough!)

Main aa gayi. Sab apne programs shuru karo. NM, Sri......

Kisi ko meri parwah tak nahin.

Priya,

nm is trying to fix the timing for the re-run of the marathi songs program.

let him fix that first...then, accordingly we will schedule the re-run of the tamil songs program at a convenient time...AFTER the re-run of the marathi songs program


Sri

Will announce the date / timings for the repeat broadcast of the Tamil Songs Program on HF Radio. Will also be adding one or two songs more.....



I will shortly be uploading the opening music of the program....as a quiz ...for people to guess where this came from etc. etc. Those who have already heard it ...and thos e who are keen to hear the repeat broadcast...please do check it out...the answer will be provided during the repeat broadcast...



Sri

Sriji when when?? I was thinking do u want me to record the bakwas I wrote in my voice

Nimz and Sri doing a combined show!!! Wowie!!!

Not combined.. I thought I will save Sriji the trouble of c/p the bakwas I wrote

N

Ouch maarti kyon hai!!!!
What is wrong if U do show with commentary by both of U? Will be good na.

then the program will have to be for 4 hours na, Nimii ? because you have translated every single word !!!

And when will you speak those words ...in between susheela's singing ??????

Sri

Na Sriji I will sing all the songs too

Kya program hoga hehehehe Janta will definitely keep tomatoes, eggs ready to throw at me

Yayayaya good only

TAMIL SONGS PROGRAM on HF RADIO

Folks,

Here is the upload of the Opening Music played for the Tamil Songs program on HF Radio some days ago.

As usual, this is a quiz . Download and listen to the 99 sec mp3 track and guess where it came from.

Since the original recording had to be done with an external mike .....some parts are not as clear as they should have been...sorry about that - but overall sound is not bad.

Answers/ Guesses may be sent to me via PM - more than one answer/ guess is allowed - but you have to rank your answers, if you have more than one ...1st choice, 2nd choice etc. Results will be announced during the repeat broadcast - to be scheduled soon.

Even those who are new to Tamil songs may try their hand at this.....after all, an intelligent guess can sometimes be close to the mark too !!

The obvious clue...for those who know Tamil songs and who actually heard the program on HF Radio from the start.......this track is somewhat related to the first song of the program....though it is not essential to know that ! Those who didn't hear the program are not at a disadvantage - let me assure you. More clues will be provided, as deemed necessary !! So, go ahead.....guess away...!!

Will try to schedule the repeat of the program soon...still juggling with dates for this and the Naushad program repeat !

Sri

Sriji I have sent you the pm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am 1000000000% sure I got it right

I saw your PM......of course, you have 'partially' answered the question....you got the part which i indicated in the clue...the easier part.....but you still have to get the more important part of the quiz....the source / details of this particular piece of recording which was used as the opening music of the program ??????

ayyo yes Sriji

QUIZ : Opening music

Nimii and Vivek (visuja) have both identified the song this piece is related to (i had also given a clue that this piece is linked to the first song of the program).......but the question here in the quiz is to identify
what this piece is and where it came from...so put on your thinking caps and find out...or else roll out your intelligent guesses, at least.......all of you !!

I have received only one 'intelligent' guess so far......from Vivek.

Will add one more clue...after i receive some more responses.

Sri

Can someone send me the clue in low br--32 maybe? I am really down on bw and so many shows still to go this week. Gotta dl/ul wunly from net cafe now.

Consider it done Priye ... will PM. Also any not so rare song u are asked to upload, just run it by me first, if I have it u need not waste yr b/w.

okey dokey, priya...will send you the opening music clip in low bit rate - via PM.

Sri

Priyz ye le.. mp3pro 32kbps mein convert kiya hai

Wow so many friends to help. Thanks T, Nimz, Sri.
Sri already sen tthe file by PM, Nimz. But thanks for being a sweetheart.
Par main guess nahin kar pa rahi hoon.

T, requests to ABF par hote hain. Abhi ek hua hai--jaane kya haal ho ka from Ma Ka Anchal.

I can't read every thread everywhere na... is liye kaha Priye. Just run them by me, whatever I don't have (which will be many ) you could deal with. Maybe you should start a thread at ABF - requests to be posted there wunly? It's worth a try, anything to save your b/w!!!

I have the Maa ka anchal song, will do the needful. Kal hi sun rahi thi!!

Thanks T.
Na na me no start any thread. As it is sab samajhte hain ki abf par it is my duty to provide all songs.

Why sigheth, Nimz?
Help me with Sri's cloo na while no one is looking

Come hither i will tell u in your ears *pstttttttttttttttt .. even I dont know *

Well then just run them by me before u upload and now let me leave Sri's thread alone... Mind you I won't provide all songs, just those that you might have provided, provided I have them... and what a sentence!!!

QUIZ
Those of you who have already identified the song linked to the opening music piece ...may PM me about it.

I will upload a short clip of the song soon...to help those who haven't been able to zero-in on the link.

Then you have to move to the main part of the QUIZ...i.e., identify where this particular piece (opening music) is from ??????? source / artiste/s etc....

Vivz Meanie

QUIZ - TAMIL SONGS PROGRAM

Many of you have downloaded the opening music track of the program which was uploaded earlier ( it is uploaded here again...for the convenience of those who may not have downloaded it earlier).

Now we move to the next stage of the quiz......and the song (to which the opening music was linked) is revealed here - a 1 min clip of the song no. 1 of the program is uploaded here. Some of you had guessed this link earlier.

We now need guesses from you ......about the source of the opening music piece.....where did it come from???? Send me your guesses as a PM.....results will be revealed during the repeat broadcast of the program......very soon.

I had mentioned earlier that the track was recorded through an external mike...now I will add some more info...it was recorded through the external mike of my video camera, actually.

Sri

Sriji ur quiz is confusing

my clues may confuse/mislead you.....after all, that makes it more fun ( for me !! )

so, trust your instincts ...and make your guess...don't be bothered by my clues !!

Sri

I am like this only since the past two days

QUIZ - TAMIL SONGS PROGRAM


Hint : The opening music piece sounds like a variation/ adaptation of 'Nilavum malarum' - which was the first song of the program (small clip of this song uploaded - see post # 41)


Sri

P.S. This hint might confuse some, whose names begin with N, though !

I still cant figure out what I should find .... I give up.. bachha hua baal ko aur khona nahi chahati .. dont have monies to buy a wig also

N

very simple...

after all this piece of music has been taken from somewhere...you have to find that out ...or make some intelligent guesses about the sources / other details etc...like many others have done...so come on trot out your intelligent guesses !!

Sri

Sriji enn mullai innikki vellaiye saiyyale.. yeduvume kekkadeenga
