Indians hide and Sulk

What a co-incidence...

That I was planning to write about the Sulk Station  gig that happened yesterday and this morning the paper says....

 And Sulk.

So Sulk Station is a trip-hop/electronic duo. Tanvi Rao and  Rahul Giri. I am not so good with the musical jargons and all, but basically she does the vocals and he makes the beats. 

I love their music! Not just because Tanvi is my sister :) I think they are very new. And different. And refreshing! I could say yesterday's set was one of the best I have heard so far...

.

Yesterday, they played at B-Flat, one of my fave places for their kinda music. It's an intimate setting, just perfectly lit and just perfectly small.(intimate by the way, was the word of the gig yesterday)

Ah.... the stage set up did look like an i-store :P Not kidding!

 I hope 2012 sees them performing more, much more! :)
And of course their *album release*! yay!

Check them out here http://www.facebook.com/sulkstation

 So 2011 has been a wonderful year.... A lot of love, work, travel and madness. Hope it continues :D

 Wishing you all a Happy New Year 2012! 

Trippy trippy song!

Yes yes.... La gente esta muy LOCA!

                                                              Merry Christmas!!! :D

Born this Way baby!

What's a better way to start my first post than with the lyrics of Lady who I 'm Ga-ga-ing over!
 Lady Gaga :)
I don't know if its just me, but I really reallyyyyyy like her. Beneath all the fashion (well I can still say these things, even though I'm a designer :) beacause its my blog, ha!) and the drama, she seems so warm and sooo real, more real than your regular pop stars. Therefore, I decided to see what happens when I take my favorite Lady Gaga song and try and sing it my way...
I do play the guitar(quite badly I confess) but I make myself happier by saying, " But I'm a vocalist, not a guitarist!" Actually I'm just downright lazy. Not to deviate here, I tried playing and singing this song of hers... And man! It was mind-blowing.
Obviously only I know how good it sounded,haha... Seriously, I am planning to upload me singing it real soon. Maybe a picture, if not the video! As soon as I stop hating my voice in the recordings. Soon soon!
You know I'm sure she wrote this song while just strumming on the guitar and thinking of her days of struggle, and then it goes and becomes this larger than life "birthing" video that it is. What the hell, I love that video too!
And here are some of the lyrics...

It doesn't matter if you love him or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up(yes I am one of your monsters. I have paws too,Gaga!)
'Cause you were born this way, baby

My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir

There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are
She said, 'cause He made you perfect, babe
So hold your head up, girl and you you'll go far
Listen to me when I say

I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way, born this way

I have been wanting to write and photo-blog everything, like really- Everything! for really long now. An outlet for me more than anything. When I'm happy I have felt like blogging, when I'm frustrated, I've felt like even more, haha! But I have had a blog-phobia. Not reading them, just writing. But then it happened...... So this has been a good day... a start... though I think what i really want is a photo-blog. Baby steps! :)

So yes, getting back to my Lady, and this song. Yes I love this song. Its so bold,so unashamed and just so true. I relate to it.

So here's to my first post... CHEERS!

Thank you Lady Gaga. For truly being an inspiration to me.
