It’s like retro but the problem is… it shouldn’t be

Containing much ranting, moaning and complaining

Loaded with expectation-plus, I went to see DJ Suketu play at one of the ‘best’ clubs of NCR last Saturday*.

My friend Ashish, who was here in Delhi on a flying visit from Mumbai, is a big fan of Suketu, and therefore, he thought it utmost important to make another friend’s and my attendance mandatory at the said event.

However after the first couple of minutes and intensive stare-downs from blinged-up and unattractively hirsute men, I knew it wasn’t going to be anything special.

My fears were confirmed when I realised the stuff being played by the opening DJ wasn’t doing anything to uplift my slowly waning (and massively-diluted) spirits.

REEVE CARNEY live at The Roxy 2/6/08

When it’s all sci-fi, red pill, blue pill, things fail to amuse as frequently as they used to back in the days, unless we’re talking Nicolas Sarkozy and the “man-eater” OR music.

A case in point: the prolific and may I say extremely handsome Reeve Carney. The first time I heard Carney, the visual disconnect in terms of what I expected and what I received was just amazing. I mean, at the risk of stereotyping let me say this, I generally don’t expect quality, deep stuff from good-looking people. In a way that’s a bit unfair too. They have the best of both the worlds. Think male of the species of Norah Jones. I’ll reword it better when I’m slightly more awake, but you get the idea.

And he’ll be playing at The Roxy, CA this coming Wednesday, February 6. Don’t miss him, if you’re in or around that area. I really do hope he plays Forget about You.
