We want to thank Matt and Leslie, and the RXP morning crew, for having us on air to support tonight’s show at The Bitter End forĀ Michael’s Fund. By the time RXP had finished playing Standing Still, our site had crashed from the overwhelming number of visitors….
Starts of strong-ish: “this fourpiece plays radio-friendly, mainstream-ish alternative pop/rock with a strong melodic quality” but ends poorly with Ashes described as “pleasant”. Still Mr Shimmer believes that Ashes “speaks volumes about Buddahead’s potential as a band… I get the sense that, in time, he [Raman] could become a really great pop songwriter.”
Earlier today Simon and me were on a call with our team, Dana Gordon, Monica Geraldo, and James Del Balzo, and either Monica or Dana asked me, “Raman, being from England, how does the rest of the world see this election victory by Obama?” I instantly remembered an email I woke up to from my mum which I think answers the question perfectly.
“WOW! What an amazing time to be alive and witnessing the making-of-history. What a difference in the mood and atmosphere of this election from eight years ago. I have been following Obama’s campaign and I stayed awake most of last night to watch his amazing victory unfold. I am sad for my loved ones who are not here to see and feel this excitement. I pray for his success and for a better world. A war-free and a bomb-free world. A less hungry world and a more Just world.”
