Every Band Needs a Sound Engineer
Every band, big or small needs a sound engineer. This painfully obvious fact struck me like a thunderbolt (ok, I am exaggerating. It sort of just came to mind arbitly) when I was at a pub gig in Mysore. For those unaware - yes, Mysore has pubs. Shocking but true. Sadly, it is going the Bangalore way, and while the ban on live music in places [...]
Nirvana Anyone?
Has anyone ever listened to Nirvana five or six years ago, and thought Kurt Cobain was the Messiah for the jilted generation, with his untimely death and his amazing music only to realize when listening to it presently that none of it makes any sense? Does anyone else's mind conjure up the following words when itunes accidentally playes songs [...]
The “Rock On” Roast
Now that the entire hoopla about 'Rock On' has finally died down, I thought it is time to resurrect it again and engage in a roast dedicated to the movie.

Not [...]

Citizen Matters Author Page The list below is not exhaustive, and will be updated as and when more stuff is published. Article on Sunday Jams in Bangalore - Music lovers of Bangalore may miss their monthly dose of original music in earnest, unless the Sunday Jammers get back their 'Music Strip' in Cubbon park and are allowed to tune in [...]
Cubicle Neighbours
As cubicle neighbours come, this one is as peculiar as they get. There is someone who sits in my proximity at the office who has a dialogue from a Gult (Telugu, for those woefully uninitiated) movie as his cell phone ringtone, complete with background music and all. The ring tone begins with some female talking in a flirtatious voice, followed by [...]
Adviteeya
Sometimes, when you discover new music in a collection that you've already had, its sort of like unearthing buried treasure. The thrill of stumbling upon a brilliant piece of music and listening to it ad infinitum has very few parallels that I'm aware of. One such instance of discovering new music and getting mesmerized had taken place around May [...]
