Notes about Nothing – Work Anniversaries
Its official now, I've spent more time outside college than I did within it. Not that I attended too many classes and all that, but I guess I've been a Corporate Ho longer than I was an undergrad student. Four years have passed since I graduated from being a dorky engineering graduate to a dorky engineer who had to earn his living. This [...]
Making Music
This is one bit of shameless plugging of self that I'm indulging in, for a good cause. I play the bass guitar for a band named 'Arth'. Our lyrics are in Hindi, and one can classify our music under the rock genre. On the first day of the beginning of the second half of 2008, we've uploaded three mp3s of our as part of an initial demo we've [...]
Arth Music
Arth is a Bangalore based band, which I play the bass guitar for. In a sudden burst of enthusiasm, we decided to record a few songs of ours and post it up online under the creative commons license, for people to listen to, download and distribute. The player above lets you stream songs, as well as gives you the option to download our demo [...]
Barsaat
This is a song written about the time Arth had its first performance at the Sunday Jam, when it rained cats and dogs. Out of cheap thrills, we decided that we'd write a song about the rains, and what you can see above is what happened, as a result of that. Enjoy!
Southpaw Guitars
I know, the term Southpaw is usually used in a sports context, and not so much with respect to playing musical instruments. However, I've been intending to pick up a new instrument, and while searching for it, I've stumbled upon a whole host of guitars made specifically for left-handed people. Gone are the days when Paul McCartney or Jimi [...]
Sound Check – June 2008 Sunday Jam
Arth's first Sunday Jam performance. We'd come up with some arbit stuff to play for a sound check, and we, in an unnatural burst of creative insight named it 'sound check'. The video has been shot by the drummer Glenn's brother Gren, which explains why it seems as though we're sessions musicians with a drummer, as opposed to a full fledged band. [...]
I am a Rock
This is another post about music, solitude and my ipod. So if you think you've read enough and more about it already, it is high time you closed this window and moved on to take care of any other relevant business. Hasta luego. However, if you are still with me so far, good for you. My ipod seems to be clarivoyant, so far as being able to [...]
Dorky Guffaw in the Press Pit
Dorky Guffaw is a Rock Journalist. Of course, he is a Journalist as well as a Rock, but calling him the former will swell his gigantic head up in proportion just like a red giant is formed out of a dying star, and calling him the latter will just make him go off on one of his customary random tangents about Simon and Garfunkel songs, of which he [...]
