TAAQ this way…

TAAQ, rather, Thermal and a Quarter are a jazzy, bluesy Bangalore based band that had quite a successful tour of the UK this year. Their music , for the want of a better description, isn’t the kind that’ll make you headbang, but one that’ll make you sway. In 2001, they’d opened for Deep Purple in […]

Rockstar Supernova: Lithium by Dilana

Wow. Really - WOW.
Buckle up. Turn up the volume.
Haven’t ever heard a performance that was so in sync, both in spirit and sound to the original…not as raw as the original…more sinister…but MAN that rocked…goose pimples and feel like headbanging and jumping up and down….wish I was in the crowd…Rockstar Supernova rocks. (Thanks R, for […]

Black Horse and the Cherry Tree

I found the video of Black Horse and the Cherry Tree by KT Tunstall rather cool. Decent song with excellent improvisation. KT Tunstall first creates a sound and then plays it on repeat. She creates another sound and then both sounds are on repeat…well, it’s useless describing it. Just watch the video. (Thanks to Aditya […]

Ooh!

How come none of you told me about this?

Exam Time Albums

Usually during exams, I tend to pick up one single album and listen to it over and over again. It’s a habit I’ve developed because subconsciously, I probably find focusing on a single task (usually studying) extremely difficult and even the slightest noise can distract me: the flapping of curtains, the murmur of voices at […]

We’re emotional ducks, all of us…

…says Gucci of Them Clones.
Split Magazine has an article on the impending release of Them Clones’ first album, whose name they aren’t willing to divulge, or perhaps haven’t decided yet. TC are among the best bands in India, and while most of their music is very rage-against-the-machine and linkin-park, they’ve also composed some dreamy soft […]

Hammer time!

Yo Yo Yo! Wassup dawgs? YO! MC Hammer! Yo! He’s (Yo!) got a blog.
Yo!
There, he posts photos of THE MAN (MC Hammer, yo!) playing baseball, talks about the maturation of hip hop (Yo!), and love:
“There are so many degrees, levels and types of love. I love baseball, I love music, I love going to the […]

HFC and Them Clones at SRCC

The gig at SRCC began half an hour earlier than expected, at around 7:10. I arrived at the venue, hoping that there was some way I could get in without passes. Thankfully, none were needed and I walked in past the food-and-games circus into the ground. Them Clones began with Zephyretta, one of my favourite […]

Youth Nexus (Dec 15/16)

Youth Nexus was most convenient - a 15 min drive from home, through Delhi University. At first sighting, the police grounds seemed almost too spacious and were sparse populated. The place was virtually a circus: Food stalls, Bunjee Jumping and an oversized ball that one could sit it and people would roll you around - […]

THE VIKINGS! THE VIKINGS ARE HERE. (wmv file)
Remember Mattias IA Eklundh’s joke that I’d mentioned here? Well, it seems he cracked the same joke in Bombay too. Nice bass solo at the end too, but the thing with bass is - it’s quite another experience when heard live. 8mb and worth the download, even for […]
