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.”
WOW - INDEED!

So, our PR girl Dana, just forwarded this to me and my first instinct was to hide it because that is what our old record company would have done. The truth is not everyone is going to like every record ever made and chances are a guy who reviews records for ReadJunk.com - a website for punks - is not really going to like Buddahead. That being said, we want to be open and uncorporate, so here it is, exactly what Adam Coozer had to say:
Not to be confused with LA’s The Buddaheads - another band that can’t spell “Buddha” properly - Buddahead plays cheesy poppy singer/songwriter fare that is downright embarrassing. The vocalist sings like he’s got tears in his eyes, and he’s singing about having tears in his eyes. In fact, their logo is a tear. And in moments of great emotion, he unleashes a wavering falsetto that will make everyone in a 10-mile radius cringe. Stay away.
Bottom Line: I think they want to be Coldplay. I don’t know why.
Pretty harsh huh?! I have to admit I actually laughed at how funny Adam is in his meanness, but so what, I can roll with the punches!
Anyway, for more on Adam Coozer I recommend his quite funny blog entitled “I have to pee”. It is just a shame that the only comment he got from his blog post was one by XXXSkaPunk who wrote quite succinctly, “I have to poo”.
Check it out!
