I was brought up in a household in which we did not throw away or waste food. It was such an integral part of my upbringing that to this day it is a very important part of my daily life. Due to my sub-continent background, I had seen at a very young age and with my own eyes the very poorest of poor people. So, we were never told the clichéd and in-effective story of starving kids in China. We (my brothers and I) were taught to be sympathetic/empathetic and to think of those that didn&rsqu...

“Smart” phones, iPad’s, Tablets, DVR’s, gadgets upon gadgets.   I can’t stand them.  And before I get started, I am not a crotchety old man who doesn’t understand technology.  I am an IT professional and a user of technology in my personal life as well.  What bothers me is that the majority of our simple-minded society is ruled by this technology.  It dictates their lives.  It controls people.  It holds them in its ...

There was a major rise in ultra-aggro sounding stuff this year. There was a conscious effort to make records that sounded real and gritty. Over produced, polished, triggered, and Pro-tooled perfectness was not in season. We even saw and heard about bands making records on tape and in analog studios. Bleak, dank, dark, murky, and swampy were key words in describing some of the best stuff that came out in 2011. The bleakness goes hand in hand with the horrid socio-political-economic climate across...

After seeing Mastodon in Istanbul at the Sonisphere Festival this summer, I was surprised to find out that they were playing at Fitzgerald’s in Houston to kick off the touring cycle for their new record – “The Hunter”. A beloved Houston institution since 1977, Fitz hosted a packed and sold out crowd for this monumental show. However, I was really there to see fellow Georgia brethren – Black Tusk. Black Tusk hit the stage after a rather bland set by local Houston new...
