A couple of days ago, Shyam pointed out to me a well crafted article in the New York Times, romanticising Columbia’s appointing Rick Rubin for producing great music; it appears that he’s the savior for big music labels, that Columbia, in an act of desperation, isn’t playing the big bad music studio anymore, and Rubin […]
Well, you’re reading it here first: The Rolling Stone magazine is on its way to India, being launched in collaboration with MW.Com India Private Limited, the Mahindra backed company that publishes Man’s World Magazine.
I don’t know when Rolling Stone will be launched, or even if they will have an India specific website, or even India […]
The Supreme Court seems to be the sole institution in this country that is still holding out against the misuse of power that representative democracy allows. I have no faith in the President who chose to sign the Office of Profit bill, and seems to be focused on leaving a legacy with the […]
My thoughts when I get time to think this over, but there’s a serious fightback being mounted by the record labels against declining sales because of the digitization of music which makes it easy to share and difficult to track. Not that they’ve not been at it for the last decade, but things seem to […]

On top of my boithday wishlist is a ticket to the Iron Maiden concert in Bangalore. So, if you know where I can get tickets from, please please please do let me know. Hmm…last went to B’lore nine years ago, and this is as good a reason as any.
An aside, wtf is it with Eddie […]

Like Adi said, looks like the deal with the devil didn’t work out. Which deal? This one:

RIP James Brown.

(This is one of the BMW short movies, a series which apparently saw over a million downloads. How’s that for creating a buzz? The movie also stars Clive Owen and Gary […]

The new stuff:
1. Menwhopause have uploaded an album for download at The Pirates Bay, here. This is similar to what TAAQ did, and I kinda hope it catches on and more bands upload their music. I’m skeptical about most Indian rock music, but if I like it - I always buy the CD.
You shouldn’t have […]

“Sharp! Sharp! Sharp!” was what Isheeta’s reminder for the “At Home with Zero” gig at the Garden of 5 senses said. So Adi and I rushed, and the gig started late. Now Zero’s a band that’s famous for not just their music. There’s also Warren’s guitaring that was perhaps amongst the few things noteworthy, apart […]

Naah, not what you’re thinking - Sunday’s gig at TC (Update: TC is Turquoise Cottage at Adchini…sorry Reeta :)) wasn’t called “Mayhem”. It just turned out to be the craziest f’in gig I’ve ever been to. I know, I know - I’d said that earlier about the Numero Uno Rock Out last year, but this […]

First gig in…three months, I guess. Last that I remember was the last day of GIR, waaay back in Feb. I’ve missed quite a few good gigs since then cause, well, didn’t feel like going alone, and the usual suspects no longer want to go for gigs. Went alone for the Skinny Alley gig to […]
