free music is the new wave of the industry, it seems.

The ‘Radiohead’ model worked well for Radiohead after they’d acquired their rabid fanbase and I, being one of them, actually paid $10 for “In Rainbows.” I believe artists should be paid for their work, or as my friends put it, I may be an idiot. Of course, if a brand new band offered nothing, not even free streaming, I might not make the effort to listen to them.

One thing’s for sure, I’ve been listening to the Sunny Ali and the Kid EP non-stop since last week. (after I bought it, of course)

Don’t know why Sepia Mutiny is always so wound tight all the time.

Not all the time. Just certain times of the month.

Just to reiterate, I did post the genre I enjoy. I was simply hoping you could fill me on things I hadn’t heard before in a different genre than a lot of what you had posted before. I’m not that up on the desi scene so… that’s why I’m here in the first place. No accusations or anything of the sort. Don’t know why Sepia Mutiny is always so wound tight all the time.

I realize its difficult to write about music you may not enjoy but I think you could reach a larger audience with these posts if you tried an even larger selection than what you might be used to. I don’t think its rude to say I don’t necessarily have the same tastes you do.

Thanks anyway, though.

oh man, only the Suffolk date left to go for the kominas.

i like the pay what you like deal and all that. but i hope bands especially new ones don’t forget the power of a album cover, inlay pictures and writing, love that them bits.

I’ve posted: Janina Gavankar (pop) Chaiwallah’s BoomBox (electronic fusion) Riz MC (grimey hip hop) Koom the Ripper (hip hop), Delhi Sultanate (dub), Transglobal Underground (fusion electronic) Slant (hard rock) Aarthi Meera’s Fair and Kind (ethereal acoustic) Chee Malabar (underground hip hop) Hindustani Gangster (grimey hip hop remix) Red Baraat (fusion Baraat band)

And that was just in the past year – I don’t really care if you don’t like the music in THIS post but don’t accuse me of not writing about different types of music when I clearly & consistently touch upon a wide variety of musical genres. And the only way for me to write about music genuinely is to write about music I love – so you won’t find me writing any Jay Sean posts, if that’s what you are looking for.

Like I said in the post, I (and the rest of the Sepia Mutiny team) are open to new music and getting press releases sent to us. If you have a new artist, exclusive interview, or album preview, send it on to the SM tip line.
