2009: The Year That Was
2009 has been quite a year for me and when I am long gone and my great-great-grand kids want to read what I've written (yeah, your great-great-gramps is teh_pwnage!), they need to be shown how cool I was, even if it means writing something completely untrue and fabricated, as some part of this post might turn out to be. Having said that, most [...]
Battle of the Gultland Bands
Turns out that my having written for RSJ for three years has given me enough street cred to be able to judge a music competition. I was asked to judge some music competition at the office for a bunch of campus recruits quite some time ago, and I assumed that I would be so bored out of my wits that I went there, armed with a Superman comic as a [...]
Rock Street Journal – My Column (April 2009)
I don’t know how many of you’ve noticed, but the pop music of the yesteryears is the muzak of today. It is quite surprising, but the gym I used to pretend to work out at had on its playlist so many pop songs I used to listen to when I was a kid, including that of boy bands, mentioning whose names within the pages of Rock Street Journal would [...]
Search Engine Queries – 5th Feb to 9th March 2009
Yes, it is that time again when I've got nothing to post on my website, for some strange reasons. I have all the time in the world, after having quit my job, but the writing machinery refuses to function, causing profound sighs of relief among all those who've inadvertently stumbled upon new nonsense on my website. After being unemployed, I am [...]
You Can Do (One Way Mirror) Magic
To get some context, check out part 1 of this series. Done? Happy, are we? Awsum! What you see in this video is four really talented individuals displaying their apparent lack of dancing skills in front of the IIT M Student Activity Center (SAC) building at 2 AM in the night, the day Opeth was scheduled to perform there. The SAC, we [...]
Disco (?) Dancing Metal Heads
Well, ok, not so much disco as freestyle dancing. But you get the drift. This is the first of two videos I am linking courtesy of youtube. I'd initially put it up, but some resizing error had made the layout look lousy and I'm sort of a stickler for symmetry and for things to look neat on MY website. Here's a background on why you are [...]
Parsimonious Peregrination
a.k.a travelling like the cheap guy that I am a.k.a Bangalore-Chennai-Bangalore on even less than a shoestring. At the very outset of this post, I am reminded of some random thing I did in engineering college, in the third and the seventh semester. We had this particular lecturer whose idea of teaching was to walk into class, dictate notes [...]
Swarathma Launches Debut Album
One of India's leading folk-rock-fusion bands, Swarathma, has launched its album in the first week of January. Being the former manager of the band, it gives me immense pleasure to inform you dedicated readers (3 of you in all) that the album will be available online in a short while. In the meanwhile if you are either in Mumbai or Delhi, [...]
