Look who's back!
So anyways, my past few weeks havn't been all that bad. In one whole year in Canada I went to just one Asha Bhosle concert. And in the last 10 days...I've been to 3! Indian Ocean on 2nd sept was absolutely fantastic. Rahul Ram is a Bass-God!!! Then on 3rd September, I went to see Sukhwinder Singh who, despite my respect and admiration, disappointed. Absolutely and totally. His band and the support-singers who opened for him sucked. It wasn't even 100% live music! Plus he was hell-bent on making the local punjabi crowd happy, and sang loads and loads of punjabi songs which I could not make head or tail of. Even Beedi sucked. Man. The only song that I was looking forward to. Sigh.
Yesterday, we went to see Sonu Nigam live in concert. To be honest I hadn't expected him to be this good, live. He had a wicked band and he sang almost flawlessly. Plus the energy he shows on stage is awesome. He is an entertainer. Mark my words. Or don't. Kabhi chance mile to dekhna. He had these two kickass guys with long hair, looking like descendants of Jesus, as his bassist and guitarist. Get this. The lead guiatarist was playing frickin rock/metal solos on the song Bijuriya!!! I was like "Woaaaahhh dude! Now this is worth my while". And to top it off, the uncle on the keyboard was copying/complementing that guy! Awesome stuff! Shit man. For once I wished I could be on the other side. On the stage. Not facing it.
Well, in other breaking news, my University starts tomorrow. Looking forward (or not) to another year of late-night studying, sleeping in class, cheap coffee, second-hand smoke, pizza-pizza, snowstorms(winter's comin), heavy boots, heavier jackets, woollen underwear, and God knows what. And yes, lovely friends who make it worthwhile going to University. Here's to my 3 buddies at UTM - Alicia, Alain and Ali.
Signing off. Peace. And Metal. ,\../
