What were the top 10 songs of the year 2005 ? Email your top choices to me or just post them in the comments below and lets see how that compares to mine, when I post the show.

For some time I had been trying to create a survey form but it was a little hard to list all the more than 50 good songs on one page.

So send in your choices and lets have some fun !

The MTV Immies were given away on Dec 9th. the Immies recognize talent in the Indian Music Industry. God ! I would have loved to cover the event... Maybe when (and if) I am in Mumbai in the future, I'll be able to.

Was just thinking about the name - The Immies (Indian Music ies). Maybe any contest I have in the future, I should call them the Impies or Pimmies. Probably not the Pimmies - dont know why but it reminds me of Lillette Dubey in Monsoon Wedding. I think Impies it will be. :)

Was a great experience being on BBC Radio and talking about the podcast. You can listen to it here (my part comes 40 minutes into the segment)

First of all the winners of the H1Bees contest - Siva and Rishabh, Congratulations !! You'll soon be getting your CDs in the mail (that is of course after I get your mailing addresses :) )

Loved putting this show together. All this time I used to just talk about the similarities between songs, but today I actually tried to demonstrate the likeness. The songs in question were Maar Sutiya from Deewane Hue Paagal (and its striking resemblance to Dil Mera - One Night from Kyaa Kool Hai Hum) both by Anu Malik (you're probably smiling on this one) and the other was "Teri Yaad Yaad" from "Vaah ! Life Ho to Aisi" (and its similarity to Teri Kurti Sexy from Vaada) both by Himesh Reshammiya.

And one more exciting development. BBC (BBC Five Live) is featuring our podcast on their show "Up All Night" on Monday Dec 05, 2005, at 9:45PM EST. I would be appearing live for an interview in the show at that time. Isnt it exciting ? I certainly am thrilled. Here's the link if you want to hear it from their website (it'll also be archived for 7 days). I'll try to host the clip on this website too after that.
