Many know what it’s like to lose a game of iPod roulette - when the shuffle feature offers up one of the worst songs in your collection. But they are in good company - because so does James Bond. Daniel Craig might play the world’s suavest man but his musical tastes have let down his super-cool image - reports The Sun.
For rather than wooing the ladies on the set of new Bond movie "Quantum Of Solace" with some seductive jazz, 007 listens to crazy German heavy metal and showtunes from Grease.
The actor revealed: “I have about 5,000 songs on my iPod. It’s very eclectic - anything from Kate Bush to The Raconteurs".
“I love iPod’s shuffle. But it can be nerve-racking if anyone is around. When something dodgy comes on, like Grease, you’re like, ‘Nooo!’ and dive to switch to the next tune. I also quite like German heavy metal - like the band Die Toten Hosen.”
Call it cosmic coincidence. Close to the heels of NASA's announcement that the Beatles' song 'Across The Universe' will be transmitted to the distant Polaris star system in the hope of making contact with intelligent, extraterrestrial life, came the news, that the Indian mystic who inspired the Beatles to write the song had passed away. Ascended to a new plane of consciousness, perhaps, where he and those of the Fab Four no longer with us could produce more chart-busting music. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, also known for his introduction of transcendental meditation (TM) to the world, leaves behind a global business empire. But it was his impact on music and counter-culture that brought his movement attention from the world. Most famously, of course, he got the Beatles to replace LSD with a different kind of high. Donovan, the Beach Boys, David Lynch and Clint Eastwood were others who were influenced by him. The Beach Boys sang the TM song referring to his meditation technique, while Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy Man was written after his visit to Rishikesh. John Lennon and Paul McCartney produced a rich array of songs-40-in all, during their brief stay in the Maharishi's ashram, and later, when their disillusionment with the yogi produced Sexy Sadie.
Though his association with George Harrison, in particular, made him famous, the Maharishi's contribution in popularising Indian spiritualism across the world cannot be overstated. His theory of transcendental meditation has proved to be a treasure trove of tips for management courses. TM, which he trademarked, offers a means of achieving enlightenment without self-denial. Dismissed by critics as a hippie mystic earlier, the Maharishi's interpretation of ancient yogic techniques has led to a multibillion dollar self-help industry. He moved into what he called consciousness-based education and set-up several colleges and universities. Since, TM became popular, there has been no shortage of scientists to study its techniques. Many of them have found that the meditation does promote mental and physical well-being, and especially aids in reducing stress. He was both a businessman and a guru, a spiritual man who sought a world stage from where to advance the joys of inner happiness. As the refrain from Across The Universe went, Jai Guru Deva, here and perhaps one day in Polaris.

So now I'm supposed to give the 5th para on the 123rd page of the book I'm reading
Well the book details are as follows---> Book Name: The Art Of War Author: Sun Tzu Translated By: Lionel Giles Year Of Release:1994
In the third year of his reign [512 B.C.] Ho Lu, king of Wu, took the field with Tzu-hsu [i.e. Wu Yuan] and Po P`ei, and attacked Ch`u. He captured the town of Shu and slew the two prince's sons who had formerly been generals of Wu. He was then meditating a descent on Ying [the capital]; but the general Sun Wu said: "The army is exhausted. It is not yet possible. We must wait".... [After further successful fighting,] "in the ninth year [506 B.C.], King Ho Lu addressed Wu Tzu-hsu and Sun Wu, saying: "Formerly, you declared that it was not yet possible for us to enter Ying. Is the time ripe now?" The two men replied: "Ch`u's general Tzu-ch`ang, [4] is grasping and covetous, and the princes of T`ang and Ts`ai both have a grudge against him. If Your Majesty has resolved to make a grand attack, you must win over T`ang and Ts`ai, and then you may succeed." Ho Lu followed this advice, [beat Ch`u in five pitched battles and marched into Ying.]
And Now The Toughest part ofcourse...To tag five more people. Well after a lot of brooding...I've selected five people...
1. Sarah...coz she makes lovely avatars. 2. Kayla...coz she is very sweet and modest. 3. Nicholas...coz he is a man with many talents. 4. Esther...coz she is the most funny girl I've met. 5. Hmily...coz she is very softspoken and talented.
It took me a lot of time to get the lyrics of this song....And my head is heavy now thanks to the thousand times I heard the song getting the lyrics...so if something is wrong...don't blame me:heart: 50 CENT "P.I.M.P. (Remix)" (feat. Snoop Dogg)
