A group of musicians who have learnt the music from Anglo Indians or are Anglo Indians themselves have got together to celebrate Anglo Indian music and most importantly bring the plight of the Barracks to light. In this continuous endeavor for the first time they performed here in Mumbai at ‘Not Jazz by the Bay’ on Thursday evening. The band played music that usually Anglo Indians enjoy right from Elvis to rock and roll. The Band consists of five people including Neil Dutt (Music Director) Lew Hilt Chiro (drummer) Shovant (key borad player famous in Calcutta night clubs and a well known music partner of Usha Uttup) and Anjan Dutt.
Fandango! : ZZ Top : Review : Rolling Stone
Rolling Stone – Jun 23, 2007
The two facts are not unrelated: In the crowded marketplace of the Seventies the surest way to build a band’s popularity is to hit the road whenever a new album is released and push for an AM hit. BT and the Doobies both play the game with consummate skill. dd band out in this trio is ZZ Top a power blues band from Texas that is still building to the superstar status of BT and the Doobies. Their third LP Tres Hombres surprised everyone by hanging on the charts for a year and a half and eventually going gold (selling more than 500000 units) and this from a pedestrian trio of musicians playing the most bare-boned variety of boozy blues imaginable. Fandango their newest offering includes one side of live material that makes their success all the more inexplicable by featuring nine minutes of tomfoolery titled “Backdoor Medley” wherein the band simulates burping cows (which may not be so odd: An automotive executive recently claimed that belching cattle are a major source of air pollution). The ZZ formula runs something like this: Take a B.

Based on phony science it was overturned after a required study showed no interference. This rule eliminated about 75 percent of the potential LPFM dial spaces and the ?bad pirate? rule eliminated all existing unlicensed broadcasters forever. In late 2006 the Future of Music Coalition updated a study first commissioned in 2002 supporting the need to fight further media consolidation. Before the Clinton Administration?s 1996 deregulation bill a radio station could own a maximum of 24 stations nationwide. Clear Channel Communications owned over 1200 stations by 2002 as a result of the legislation. The study indicates the number of companies owning stations peaked in 1995 and has declined dramatically since as have jobs in radio. Between 1995 and 2005 holdings of the ten largest companies increased by over 15 times! Local ownership declined from 97 percent to 70 percent with most of the new licenses going to the big ten including ?repeater? stations a transmitter that repeats the signal of another radio station; most are used to fill out or extend the broadcasting of an existing radio station… ?Advocacy journalism? in which broadcasters choose content as an activist tool is under attack as we read insulting corporate newspaper debates about whether or not local journalists such as Sarah lsen and Josh Wolf have any legal rights because they are not employed by a big media company. Music programmers want to play all kinds of music as they and listeners want less repetitive formats and more local music played. Independent programmers do not want play lists station managers fund-raising bureaucrats or government officials telling them what and they can and cannot broadcast. The corporate-government powers are naturally afraid of losing advertising revenues but political motivations are obvious despite continued FCC denials. SFLR started broadcasting in the early 90s along with Free Radio Berkeley in the East Bay to report on the criminalization of the homeless in San Francisco?a population that had absolutely no voice in the media. In 2002 SFLR moved to a location high in the hills above the Castro expanding its signal and broadcasting hours to provide clear listening for the central and south parts of the city.
