Has there ever been a marriage this perfect?
In the beginning, there was just music.
From cavemen banging their heads on walls to that fancypants Mozart, from drugged out Miles Davis to thugged out Tupac Shakur, music has provided relaxation to the weary for centuries.
In 1825, along came the photograph and the ability to capture an image [...]

It’s Friday night and the feeling’s right. You hit the local cinema. You have a decision to make and it’s a big one. Which movie do you see ? This could effect the rest of your life. It might be something you always remember, it could be something you hope to forget by Monday.
You make [...]

Sometimes things work out.
Serendipity. I hate that word, but I’ve been using it a lot lately. I had wanted to see Jens Lekman in the U.S since earlier this year but i never had a chance to. He had played one gig in NYC which sold out really fast. I moved to Korea in August [...]

Let me first say that today my mind is not the smooth and streamlined hard boiled egg it usually is. Today, I’m more of a spanish omelette so bear with me. I’m bleeding queso and salsa all over the place so here goes…One annoying thing about life circa 2008 is there’s a little too much [...]

Recently a friend sent me a copy of Liam Finn’s album “I’ll Be Lightning”. It’s become one of my favorite albums of recent memory. That was “Music Moves My Feet” off his debut album. Not all the songs are that mellow although i think he does mellow perfectly. Its never dull. The [...]

An issue that fascinates me is the one of immigration. There’s such a marked contrast between the sentiments associated with the notion of America versus the real attitudes of Americans. On the Statue of Liberty, it says “Give us your poor, your tired, your huddled masses yearning to be free” but usually Americans are [...]

For years, i have waited and waited for this video to be posted on youtube. I speak of “Tale of the Dragon” by Captain George. In Bangalore circa the early 90s almost all tv programming came via satelite from Hong Kong. We were lucky enough to be exposed to all the stuff out there thanks to Star TV. There was [...]

Vladimir Galchenko is a 20 year old sophomore at California State University. In his mid-teens, he immigrated to the U.S from Russia where he was a resident of Penza. As a boy growing up, his father enrolled him in “circus school” when he was four years old in the hope that Vladimir would be able [...]
