Guess Who's Bizack

JAY-HOVAAAA... or me, rather. ::: Shrug :::


Sidenote - this EPT (pregnancy test) commercial cracks me up. "I can't concentrate.... could I be pregnant?"

.....come on. Maybe you just need some fresh air, some Ritalin, or even frequent condom use.

On to bigger things.

Gurdass Mann was brilliant. He's *kind* of flaming, but in a way that only he could pull off and is totally still cool. The whole evening was amazing. He sounds live just as he does in a recording: polished, smooth, and strong. Gurdass performed for about 3 hours. He only stopped in the middle to change. He was bouncing and dancing all over the place, doing random moves, bhangra moves, gidha moves, and something almost resembling the two-step. It was DOPE. He sang a bunch of new things - some from his newest album, Valayatan, some from his movie soundtrack, Des Hoya Pardes, and some classics, like Challa. The *one* song I was waiting for all night...Dil Da Mamla Hai... did *not* get sung. That broke my heart. BUT, aside from hearing his voice, I did receive other nostalgic gratification: that tambourine. *dreamy sigh*. Something just stirred inside me when he came out with that dufflee. It's not a prop, you know. He makes it sing. Also, he looked *so* handsome. The first half of the evening he was rocking an orange kurta and chaadra, along with that vest with the tassles that only he looks good in, and then he went to change into pretty much the same outfit, except pistachio colored. Who looks good in ANYthing pista-colored?? Gurdass does, that's who.

Next time, I'll have to save up for better seats.

Quick Update:

-Finals went well, I hope. ::: Fingers Crossed :::

-I'll be taking a couple of summer classes - most likely Law and Economics, and Employment Law. Not really looking forward to either, but I *am* looking forward to getting more credits and not graduating in 2009. That's fun.

-I landed an internship at a recording studio. I'll be there a few days a week and acting as a personal assistant to this guy. He's a producer, musician, boxer, Brit, and many other things. It's my job to get him organized and keep him regulated. Everyone there puts out a good vibe, and everyone I've met has made me feel welcome. I know it's not a legal internship, but I feel like this is going to be an invaluable experience. It's a chance for me to gain experience of the business, production, and possibly creative sides of the music industry, and that can't be a bad thing.

-I found an old video we had of a live private concert of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. I couldn't stop watching it or singing along at the top of my lungs.

Today's Object Of:


Affection: Vincent D'Onofrio. Today there is a Law and Order: Criminal Intent marathon on and I have been stuck watching it ALL DAY. It's an addiction.

Hateration: Whatever is on TV after this marathon is over.
