Radio gaga!

I absolutely love the radio station 93.7. It's houston's classic rock station and it's called the aero. If anyone from houston, has not listened to it, I recommend it. Unlike other stations like 104.1 KRBE which repeats the same songs, this one picks a special artist each night and plays hits from them. It is a rock education. On saturday they had cream classics. I was introduced to this band a couple of months back but 93.7 goes on to give a history. Sunday was led zeppelin. Monday was aerosmith. Today it's a mixture of eric clapton and crosby stills. This group is really fantastic. I like the music. It's got an older feel to it. The lead guitars are amazing. In fact most of the times unless one has an ear for the lead guitar, you can never hear it. Somehow maybe it's sign of growing old but I like more earthy music. Gone are the days of "chemical brothers" and "prodigy"!
In fact I'm a little ashamed that I listened to that group with that fred durst in it...Limp bizkit! They make copies of good old rock numbers and mess it up.
Anyway the aerofest is coming up on october 14th. So be there. In fact I'm planning on going with a couple of non-alcholic, non-dopers but absolute rock enthusiast. Just three of us:) Any houstonians reading this, make it as this will be a real treat. I think 30 bucks is a good bet too!
This friday John Mayer and Sheryl Crow are in town. I'lll be going for the show. Hope it's good. I'm looking forward to this musical month!!!

That's great that you're discovering the older music on 93.7 The Arrow! I'd like to invite you to listen to my show as well on 97.5 FM. It's a talk station during the week, but on Sunday nights from 7pm to 11pm I have a music show called "High Fidelity" and it will also give you a musical education. The musical core of my show starts with artists from the 60's and 70's such as Iggy Pop, T. Rex, The Velvet Underground, David Bowie, The New York Dolls, Television, The Beatles, The Who and The Rolling Stones. From there, I focus on bands that are influenced by that music, but are generally not heard on the radio. Acts such as The Pixies, The Replacements, The Flaming Lips, The Clash, The Jam, Echo & The Bunnymen and a lot more. If you'd like to view play lists from my previous shows, you can find them in my blog at http://myspace.com/thelastdj.

Tennis- An ode to my love!

 Intra apartment Tennis Tournament After a gap of nearly 7 years I took part in a tennis tournament at my apartment community in Bangalore. Unlike the younger days when I used to participate in league matches, I was a bit rusty on the tournament front. The funny thing is I do not find many women playing in the community. Hence to have a separate women’s tournament at the community is impossible. Therefore I persuaded my tennis male buddies to allow me to participate in the tournament when the idea was first mooted. They did not need much persuasion as they know I am a certified tennis lover like all of them. This brings an important point, most minorities just want to be treated equally and get a seat at the table. Game,set and match I knew my shot of winning a tournament like this was a long one. There were several disadvantages like weight, an average serve, weak backhand and inability to have a good court coverage. The thing that was going for me was my enthusiasm with the game ...

Errr..Arghhh

School is finishing up and generally emotions are running high. There are a lot of things to do. ON top of all this I have been wondering about the human psyche. The words that come to my mind is the "power game". Some people want to always be at the higher end of the equation. Well it's not possible always. I mean the people who generally make the effort to always keep in touch also loose out sometimes. I mean they're also tired. How many times can they alone keep it going? How much of work all these things are! Is ego everything in life? Or is this some sort of message that others have to read. A really close friend of mine is going thru a rough patch now because she was at the lower end of the equation. I always told her it was fine and you do not have to go by book. She was fed up of the mind games and the moves she had to play. It was like constant game of chess. My sister often gets into these introspective moods and I used to blame her then for over analyzing. ...

Coldplay concert- An enriching experience!

  January started with a bang being busy at work as soon as the month started. December was a forgotten dream and it was really tough to hit the ground running. However, there were moments of bliss and one such experience is what I am going to write about today- The coldplay experience!!! A music concert like no other that warrants a blog post . I was a bit worried when I received a midnight call from my cousin Hrishi. "Was everything alright??" was my immediate thought and picked up the phone with fear. This feeling quickly turned to happiness when he said “Hey Papu do you want coldplay tickets, only catch is you have to fly to Bombay”. I leapt out of bed and did a merry dance and said yes I will confirm in the morning. My husband who had just returned from the US from a conference trip and was suffering from jet lag remarked “Not me I am not a fan and don’t know their songs but I know you are a certified nut. Take your girlfriends”. Earlier in the year when bookmyshow opene...
