Understanding gets lost on the long arduous journey from cd
to sound
sound to ear
ear through wax
wax clog eardrum
drum the absent brain
oh no!
create percussion

in
the empty hollow of skull

the patterns get written
through skill-less fingers


i'm afraid
the point
and you
have not yet been acquainted

and though that's not my problem

I write music
because I've made the choice
to care.








Please educate yourself about the subject you are writing about
To avoid looking like a self-absorbed ass...
whose reviews come across as some pre-pubescent attempt at verbal ego masturbation.

Also.

Pray tell.

What have you done lately?

S+F?? WHO DAT??

WHO IS SHAAIR + FUNC?

Back in Bombay - Rock On

4 city tour is over. Thanks to RSJ and the whole LiveAlive festival. It was pretty much a whirlwind to cover 10 different cities in two weeks...5 different countries in three weeks. Living the dream, man! Living the dream. They never tell you how difficult it is to be on the road WITHOUT roadies. It's the simple things that are tough to get done...like
washing your clothes (i was reduced to doing so in hotel sinks)
sleeping
eating food that doesn't make you vomit after three weeks of it


Also, if you're in India, chances are you have heard of the film ROCK ON. This film touches on the Indian Rock Music scene/Underground...
My favorite parts about the film are...Purab Kohli who plays the drummer. He was convincing, funny, and natural. Also, Sahana Goswami, the fashion designer in the film...her performance really puts her on the map as an actress to be watched in the future. She has conviction, passion, and really portrays her character with so much truth. Farhan Akhtar's debut as well was pretty damn good if you ask me. Cheers to all those involved.

Shaa'ir + func are also in two scenes for a lengthy 10-20 seconds as ourselves! Why not, we say, why not?

But that's besides the point.

The real thing I want to acknowledge is that there is an entire film based around the need and desire to be an independent musician in India.

It's about damn time.
