Hope you enjoyed the show yesterday and it does feel nice to know that yesterday's show was the first time two of the bloggers actually talked over phone :-)</p> <p>While I had not been as frequent a visitor as Harbeer to this blog before, I read a lot of the posts over the last few months before the show and was really struck by the diversity of opinions in the comments and the posts. Seems like people actually are interested in other points of view (how strange) and it sure is different from some of the extremely partisan comments seen on other blogs (ok mostly on the political blogs). Keep the discussion going.</p> <p>-k</p> Just wanted to second Harbeer’s thanks to Amardeep and Abhi for coming on the show and all y’all for the great discussion on the blog.

Sorry Abhi, I'm pehndu like that. In our meeting before the show, nobody wanted to read the news item about the murdered Pakistani artist (<a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601088&sid=ad5S8eAYDjrU&refer=muse">Gulgee</a>) because we weren't sure how to pronounce his name. Seems I slaughtered Sukhdeep Dikshit's name, too, alas. Maybe this whole "South Asian" identity is indeed a farce.</p> <p>For those who couldn't listen last night, you can hear the whole program <a href="http://archive.kpft.org/pls.php?mp3fil=8349235">here</a>. I've also posted an edited version (just the interview with Abhi and Amardeep) <a href="http://houston.indymedia.org/news/2007/12/62374.php">here</a>.</p> <p>Thank you to Amardeep for bearing with the technical difficulties and to Abhi for coming in. I'm still amazed that you guys had never heard each other's sexy voices before last night. Thanks also to the musicians who loaned us their music: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/deepda1">Deep</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/kamlapunjabi">Kamla Punjabi</a>, and our very own <a href="http://djdrrrtypoonjabi.blogspot.com/">DJ Drrrty Poonjabi</a>. (There's a couple of sick unreleased tracks on Deep's myspace, "Rim Kamonde" and "Munda Hogaya Sharabi" that we couldn't get permission to rock last night, but maybe on next week's all-music show.)</p> <p>I'm glad you liked it A N N A. Thanks to you and all the bloggers that make this site almost impossible to talk about (in 30 minutes), too.</p> <p>For those looking for intern opportunities, check out <a href="http://www.da1records.com/">Deep's site</a>. Get college credit for gettin' crunk y'all.</p> <p>Tune in next week and give us a call. We'd love to hear from you.</p> Nivritti–you should hear me try to say Nivritti.

Tune in next week and give us a call. We’d love to hear from you.

Yup, same interns as before. What you think we’ve unchained them by now? Please.
