I didnt see Bluffmaster Neha. I saw a video of theirs played continuously on one of the Indian music channels. Normally they play 40.6% bhangra and 59% Bollywood, with the remaining 0.4% by an artist like Nitin Sahwney or Talvin Singh to show how cool they are, just in case any art students are watching, or as public service so that the rebellious Suicide Girls type of Indian youth don't totally abandon their culture. And they played this video of women doing synchronised swimming in 1950's swimsuits, with a few sitar twangs over it, and the singer singing twee lyrics about how ironic and delicate and sensitive they were. I had enough after they played it a few times, and switched over to watch Mallika Sherawat thrusting her crotch into Akshaye Khanna's abdomen, which I think is also ironic.

But even if it's not, I know which one I prefer.

Anyway, good luck to them. Trickbaby is a really cool name - it almost makes me wish I had thought of it for my own imaginary band which I fantasise about. At the moment, we are called 'Mango Daddy'.

I find Trickbaby the worst kind of watered-down flat indie pop with a few sitars thrown over the beat boring. I tried to listen to their music but there was nothing to listen to. I’m sure they’re better live, though.

Happy M!M!M! has a $ boost, but bit annoyed at the corporate sponsorship induced name change. Also, "ChillinÂ’ in Your Brown SkinÂ” seminars AND a spoken word fest with my beloved Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha...lucky toronto mutineers!

I do envy you your Trinidadian artists, though we have been blessed by an ample supply of Trinidadian culture down here in South Florida. I am more into that stuff than my Trini-Indian wife.

My desi thing this weekend is going to Himesh Reshamiya’s concert. I better learn to spell his last name right before it becomes moot.

The weekend is upon us, almost, and here in Ontario it is a loooong weekend

do you mean a looong week followed by a loooong weak-end .

Darn my RADO perpetual calendar has let me down , I thought it was next week-end....?

Now for the event , I will have to break out the Rolex that I got for a steal $50 bucks ( includes papers) from a "watch dealer ? " in Times Square ....If you see a well-aged brown guy in cut-off jeans whose left arm is slightly stretched and there are flashes of light reflecting off the huge time-piece hitting hitting your chili-lemony laced BBQ corn - than that's me .
