The blog of Avinash, Christina, Anya and Kyan Meetoo.
Just finished watching “Top Gun: Maverick” with Kyan and Christina.
Top Gun, the original movie, released in 1986, is one of my favorite movies ever. I must have watched it about one hundred times.
The sequel is easily the best sequel ever. Most sequels are stupid. This one has a fantastic story, credible actors and flight sequences out of this world.
Very highly rated on its own. But, if you adore the original Top Gun as I do, Maverick is 10/10.
Dave Smith was the inventor of the first microprocessor-based synthesizer, the formidable Prophet 5, as well as MIDI, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface.
He was also a precursor in software instruments.
Without his inventions, music creation and production would not be what they are today.
RIP.
Very sad to learn that Andrew Fletcher has passed away. He was only 60. I basically grew up listening to Depeche Mode and Fletch will be forever missed…
Andrew was one of the founding members of Depeche Mode in the 1980s. DM is among the most well-known, popular and successful electronic music bands ever. Andrew played the synthesizer, like the other band members. He was also the manager of the band.
I first listened to Depeche Mode in 1985, when I was 12, thanks to a good friend from school. At that time, Depeche Mode had released the first four of its albums. I remember having passionate discussions on choosing the best songs from these albums to make a compilation on cassette.
Since then, I’ve multiplied my age by four and I listen to at least a few Depeche Mode songs every day. I am happy that Christina, Anya and Kyan appreciate Depeche Mode too.
RIP Andrew.
