No, sorry. He follows everybody :-D - Andre P. Siregar

Ya, I know. Still...:) - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

No, you haven't arrived until you're in his Home feed, and you're not. You're in that other feed called None or Void, alongside us others. And just as well. BTW. who's that Scoble fellow(?) everybody is always yapping about? - ianf ⌘

ianf: :-) - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Ianf, hahaha, that may be how popularity is defined in the near future. Number of followers is not enough. It's how much you appear in your followers' home feed - Andre P. Siregar

Yeah, except, mind, there is this ongoing con.spi.ra.cy between FriendFeed and assorted "Scobles" of this world - neither of them is willing to tell who gets to be on what list, merely that so-and-so has generously agreed to share the virtual timespace continuum with her/ himself. However, there is one test we all, subscribers of /scobleizer, can do: we can flood him with DMs, then compare notes on how fast we had been unsubscribed and/or the FF called #syphilis^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H [no! that was taken, let's try] #nausea, and the FF team making amends by implementing a special /scobleizermizer function or something (so that he can appear to be subscribed to all, without having to interact with any but Chosen Few™). - ianf ⌘

ianf: Ha ha ha ha! :-D - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Personally I think your special, the fact you are on FriendFeed is more than enough reason :) - Owen Greaves

Owen: very nicely said! - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Ditto Owen :) - Myrna

He sent me a request too today.... - Joe

I did not except it. BUT Mahendra you are in. :) Welcome. - Joe

Deakins: Wow, do I feel privileged?! Thank you. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Thank you for your interest Sir. :) - Joe

I may not have 10000 + ppl on there.....but those who are are all superstars in my book. - Joe

You should sub to Alex. I find his sage advice to be even more enlightening. - Will Higgins™

Mahendra, I just sent you an invite. - Joe

Will: Alex was one of my first! :) - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Deakins: Something I'm passionate about as well, thanks a lot! - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Tell your friends :) - Joe

Oh and you can call me Joe. - Joe

:) Joe, my friends are still on Twitter or even just on blogs. Am trying to rope them in...:) - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Mahendra what kind of music do you like? - Joe

Western Classical - esp Baroque, Classical, Romantic periods, Old Hindi Film Songs, 70s/80s/90s Pop-Rock, Hindustani Classical - roughly in that order. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

"Hindustani Classical" I would like you to recommend a recording for me if you would. - Joe

Oh...that's like asking one to recommend a star in the sky! :) - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

But wait - I'll point you to the right person to do the job. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Well I am looking for a starting point. - Joe

Harini http://friendfeed.com/harinic... is the right person. I'll ask her to join. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

That's usually the tricky part. :) - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

One never knows. - Louis Gray

Louis, when you comment on my thread, I know I've really arrived. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Thank you man. With music usually one recording is not enough but it is a start. - Joe

Joe, I'd recommend anything by Pt. Kumar Gandharva or Kishori Amonkar. In my books, they're the best. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

sadly no, you need tinypants' - sofarsoShawn

Er, what's tinypants? - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

I will look into both of those tonight. Not sure about the pants, tiny or otherwise. - Joe

If possible, don't listen to complete Khayals to start with (that includes long sections without any rhythm). Instead start with the section termed as 'Bandish' (pronounced bundish), which is accompanied by rhythm. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

There are some albums that are collections of Bandishes from different ragas. Equivalent of Molto Allegros from multiple symphonies together, without the Andantes. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

oh amanda tinypants, to clarify - sofarsoShawn

Posting a song for you, Mahendra. - Joe

on hindustani classical music - if you are just getting into that genre - check out Hari Prasad Chaurasia - he is a flautist and i think that he is the one who got me hooked to the music. - Harini Calamur

sofarsoShawn: Gotcha! :) - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Joe, thanks. Look fwd to it. Off to breakfast now, and good night to folks if it's bed time for ya'll! - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

+1 Harini - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Thank you for the tip, Harini :) - Joe

You've been Scobelized :) - sofarsoShawn

Only until Louis Gray subs you then you arrived - Outsanity

I must say, Friendfeeders are one of a kind! I didn't know I will have so many laughs over this one-liner post! :) - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

That's because together we're bright and beautiful, and no Scoble of this world, or the next one, will ever come between us! - ianf ⌘

But, without having read all 49 comments, it does mean you said something that got his attention. ;-) - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF

BTW, nice spelling of ya'll. I have Texas relatives and that's how they do it. ;-) - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF

Mary, never noticed I spelled it that way, funny. :) - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)
