And finally am here, en-route to discovering more music am sure.
Hello music lovers, I am Srikkanth, an advertising professional, born in India and currently residing in Bahrain.
Took to music seriously in the mid 80's (yeah i am 34, guess i have been around long enough to say back in the 80's
... pop was in and i was groovin to A-Ha and Climie Fischer and Mr.Mister, Madonna, Phil Collins Kylie Minogue in her first round and i thought i had heard all that was cool.
Few years later, pop was passe and i had moved onto heavy metal. I swore by Judas Priest, hunted down their albums, listened to Black sabbath and Iron Maiden, Helloween and thought music was metal, once even scoffing at a friend for suggesting jazz and blues. He laughed.
I realised a few years later why. I discovered classic rock and with it came along the blues, and studious jazz. After that i got hooked onto the net and mp3 was a good thing, napster became a bad word, information was zipping past, and bytes jus kept coming in... todays its all torrential downpours. I kept discovering the classics everyday along with new stuff.
I have whizzed past timelines, going back and forth discovering music, artists, rediscovering artists once whom i had dismissed. Now i am equally comfortable with Alternative Rock as i am with lounge, grunge, electronica, metal... hey even Rap.
But my idol musically is, was and always will be Frank Zappa. I think listening to his music really helped appreciating everything in a way.
And now, since i am away from home, am falling in love with Indian Classical Music all over again.... hows that for a strange trip..eh.
Hope to interact with you all frequently. Thank You
