The Periodic Table of Rocking

by Sujoy on October 12, 2010

Sometimes I feel that Internet (in general) and tumblr (in specific) just rule my life, and I waste my daily hours scrolling down on the many silly memes. And then, I come across gems like these. A bloke by the name of Roadside Jesus (phonetically pronounced as Hae-soos’) prepared this awesome periodic table of rocking. This is sheer geeked up awesomeness of epic proportions. The image below is the best I could capture from the site.

Periodic Table of Rocking

Click on the picture to go to this awesome website. Each rock ‘element’ is clickable. The default intro header says -

Hello my friends. This is my periodic table of rockin’. I compiled it in 1987 when Guns n’ Roses released the “Appetite for Destruction”. Please click around my friends. – Jesus

There is also an audio commentary which starts with a crunchy guitar shredding by Jesus. The bloke sounds like a really stoner lazy guy, but man, he has the patience to compile this awesome piece of work. He also explains why Beatles is not on the list. Because Rock is more like a Saturday night thing, and Beatles is a “Sunday band”. LOL!

My favourites Metallica is an Alkali metal, which is absolutely spot on. Whereas Led Zep, Sabbath, Stones, Who, Steppenwolf, and Spinal Tap are Noble Gases :P

And for the best part, the pink elements are poor metals e.g. Bon Jovi, Europe and Def Leppard :) Enjoy the table.

So you thought there is no such thing as geeky music. Hell no! Not only will I give you the proof, I am here to blow your brains out with this awesome compilation of the most brilliant playlist you will ever come across. That image above is already messing with you innit. That’s been flipping my head upside down.  For those who don’t have any clue, that’s the Tron Legacy soundtrack logo – the soundtrack is scored by Daft Punk. Anywho, moving on, this playlist will play and mess around with your neurons and set your binary thought process on fire ( whatever that meant). Be prepared to let your brains get fried by the sheer scorching heat of the ..

10 Must-Have Tracks on any Geeky playlist.

Bach – Toccata and Fugue in D minor, organ

bach-toccata-and-fugue-in-d-minor

I am not a big classical music fan, but when I saw this video of Bach’s Toccata and fugue in D minor replete with bars and levels , it pretty much blew my head off. You have to see it for yourself. (Special thanks to @daximo for educating me with this one ). Don’t worry, the whole playlist is embedded in the end. But just have a bit more patience and surf through the remaining awesome 9.

Hit the jump for the rest of the awesome playlist, and oh! there’s a surprise at the end :)

KAPOW! 9E3K Launches to Awesomeness!!

by Sujoy on January 26, 2010

I am extremely delighted, that on the occasion of the 60th Republic Day of India, my blog 9E3K is being launched and it zooms into the zone of Awesomeness. I know all you guys out there will love it for sure. There has certainly been a bit of a delay with me in posting this. I know this post should’ve been posted in the morning. But eh-well, the most recognisable trait of a Geek is his/her laziness. And I know all you Geeks out there will certainly agree with me on that :)

Enough of ranting, let’s get straight down to business.

What’s shaking, What’s rocking, What’s occurin!

9E3K is going to be an awesome ride for all you awesome people. As you might have noticed, ‘awesome’ will feature as one of the most repeated words out here. But what apart from that?

What’s Occurin.. err..soon?

Avatar was just crowned the #1, Numero Uno movie of all times in terms of income. That’s huge coz #1 and #2 both belong to the same awesome dude who gave us Aliens, Terminator and True Lies – Mr. James Cameron. In the coming posts out here, we’ll be exploring and diving more and more about Avatar.

Also this year, we are looking forward to some awesome movies lined up. I am super-psyched about Iron Man 2, Harry Potter‘s final chapter-part 1 and of course Tron in 3D. But all of that will be dealt one by one.
