Interesting. Don't mind it, actually.

I saw Talvin play a few weeks ago. Simply awesome Tabla playing. 

We took a taxi to the gig and the driver used to rodie for him and did not know he was in town - a total coincidance. He also mentioned Talvin was a lazy git and would not carry his own drums. That said, he seemed a top guy on stage and performed without loops and with a most excellent sita player. 

Had to go for a curry afterwards. 

Its a 9 for me. Splendid!

Thought this was Karsh Kale. If you like this stuff, check out his music (DK/Tabla Player out of NY).

I wish. The odd time Bill'll play Flim, but usually it's The Bad Plus' verison — which is fine, but it's not RDJ.

Ahh, a tasty morsel of Asian dub-n-bass. Definitely worth putting on the headphones for.

The combination of Drum&Bass with more traditional Indian sounds on this track work really well for me.

{#High-five} Great mounds of steaming agreement from me! In fact the intricate percussion is the most interesting thing in the song.

Uhm ... people from the country that brought us ABBA should think twice before grouping music from other countries into a lump category so they can dismiss it more easily.
