RATM becomes Melt-Banana

The cassette player in my car stopped working a few weeks back. It plays songs at about 4 times their original speed. I've listened to Renegades of Funk (RATM), almost always while driving. So the tape player getting screwed didn't stop me from listening to it. I still play it everyday, side a and side b. The extra revolutions make RATM sound like a groovy Melt-Banana. You should try this at home. On a side note, I listened to The Bedlam in Goliath by The Mars Volta just now, twice back to back. Wow! Great prog music. Downloading Amputechture ...

Recent Finds

I've become a fan of Cake. I've heard just one album of theirs (Comfort Eagle) and it left me on the lookout for more Cake. If you like funky music with witty lyrics, you will like the album.

I somehow gathered up the courage to listen to Converge's 2004 album titled You Fail Me and needless to say, it pummelled me. They are one of the most hard-hitting bands I've ever heard. It doesn't make sense to talk about the talents of a band like Converge. You Fail Me runs on similar lines as Petitioning an Empty Sky with a brilliant slow paced song placed appropriately on the album. The last song on the album, Hanging Moon, has to be one of the most abrupt endings one could write for a record. Respect for Converge!

Children Playing

.. is the name of my new band. We are me on bass, Sajid on guitars, Lionel on Drums/Tabla and Atul on vocals/harmonica. We play freeform unstructured music and have almost finished composing three songs. You can catch us playing in the Livewire competition this month.
