Since I wasn’t able to get any videos that truly capture the essence of India traffic while I was there, here’s a compilation of videos taken from YouTube that hopefully show how insane the driving is there (yet somehow it works). Also note, no one wears seatbelts in India. They don’t even exist. Crossing aContinue reading “Streets of India”

Sleeping all day, staying up all – niiiight
Geez it’s been forever since I’ve posted in here. I’ve started about twenty different posts in the past few months, but as is my style, never got around to finishing them. However! This weekend Alex went up north and I stayed back here in LA, which resulted in a weekend full of cleaning, chick flicks,Continue reading “Sleeping all day, staying up all – niiiight”
dci and listography
Not going to lie, I haven’t been keeping up with drum corps at all this season, except the occasional score-check and facebook posts from my friends on tour. And I’m not going to lie about this either, the only show I’ve watched is Cavies’ (“Mad World”), because their repertoire is just too relevant to myContinue reading “dci and listography”
Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough
Went to the UCLA percussion ensemble concert last week, and this was their encore piece, arranged by good friend Pat Weber!:
Glenalbyn House First Night
Friday night I went to the first of a series of house concerts at the Glenalbyn house in Mt. Washington, hosted by our friend Michael Tessler. Performers included Ana Caravelle on harp, Ryan York on guitar, The Order of the Mopses, and DJ sets by Alex (aka Ricky Rice) and Nicholas Morera (aka [ a.Continue reading “Glenalbyn House First Night”
I can’t live without YouTube
I swear I’ll try to stop posting so many entries about RCC. If it suits you better, this entry can be about the Maori haka and jazz fusion instead, haha. The video below basically explains what the haka is, but in case you didn’t know, it’s a war dance by the Maori people of NewContinue reading “I can’t live without YouTube”
More RCC hypin’
Noteworthy: In observance of the date today, the Daily Bruin ran a front-page article on how to roll a joint. “Medicinal”, of course…haha. And although this stuff usually goes in my other blog, I am plugging RCC everywhere, because I can’t stop watching our show and I already miss it SO SO SO MUCH. I’veContinue reading “More RCC hypin’”
Let me die in my footsteps
It may seem a bit contradictory, but from studying ethnomusicology I am learning how much I love American music. Not because I don’t like other music (I love it, and I love learning about it), but I’ve just realized that most of my favorite types of music are what you would call “American” genres: rockContinue reading “Let me die in my footsteps”
home of the future…er, past?
Disclaimer: I think mid-century interior decor is something you either find strangely appealing or disgustingly hideous. Personally, I love it. From funky starburst wall clocks to chrome dining tables and avocado green appliances, the homes of the 60s and 70s were a sight to behold… That’s actually a recent pic from some guy’s house inContinue reading “home of the future…er, past?”
