Spin my indie-rock tune Bleed, Rinse, Repeat
Dye Corduroy - Bleed, Rinse, Repeat
Key Lyric:
I skipped a beat, broke a heart, flipped a house, took a train: to someplace new
Dye Corduroy - Bleed, Rinse, Repeat
Check out my new track -
indie sensibilities crouched beneath a wall of alternative rock.
Key lyric: I skipped a beat, broke a heart, flipped a house, took a train: to someplace new
This *was* one of my dream sites to shoot a video for one of my tracks…
*sigh*
Those living in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Northern Pakistan were cut off from the rest of Pakistan until 1978 due to the mountainous terrain and lack of roads. You could take a small airplane, but that was reserved for only the richest citizens.
For everyone else, the only way to travel was by walking across mountain passes to Rawalpindi. In 1978, the Karakoram Highway was completed and the region was connected, but inter-region travel remains as difficult as it was 100 years ago.
Regular aspects of travel through this region include the rickety cable and plank bridges which cross Northern Pakistan’s mountain streams and rivers. Among these is the Hussaini Hanging Bridge, crossing Borit Lake in the Upper Hunza. This rope bridge is both long and poorly maintained. Many planks are missing, and strong winds shake the bridge as you cross it. It does little to ease nerves that a previous, older, broken bridge hangs in tatters next to the “new” one.

And a thought flew into her head like a lost word
And she thought this time she’d rain out & in on this world
Top 10 Fastest Growing Cities in the World
10. Lahore, Pakistan
Current Population: Estimated at 10-11 million (2009)
Predicted increase in population by 2025: 3.17 million
Pakistan’s “second city” hasn’t yet cracked the list of the world’s megacities, but a spiking population driven by its culture and bustling electronics industry will put it on the list by 2025. And as its population growth has not yet exceeded its economic growth, Lahore seems to be in a unique position to thrive as it sees an influx of people. Its recent urbanization means that housing is relatively modern and well constructed. But land prices are skyrocketing as the city grows, and housing costs could be prohibitive. Roadways are in good condition, thanks to a public-transportation system that runs 24 hours a day. But infrastructure will have to be maintained in order to keep Lahore, the cultural center of Pakistan, thriving as a rival to Karachi.
p.s. Another source cites that the population would double to 22.5 million by 2025! Yikes…

Careful there…
Dye Corduroy - If You May So Please As If For Sure
Very quasi-indie-punk with layers of sweet melody that swoons you in the chorus - then throws you around a little again.
Key Lyric: If you may so please as if for sure; walk me to the shore… and drown me in the shallow water
