Metallica

My first cover piece for The Guardian, revisiting one of my favourite bands of my teenhood, and trying to figure out why they don't rock quite as hard as they used to, and explaining why I think that's a damn shame.

Koushik

One of my favourite new artists of recent years, maybe he could be one of yours too?

Fall Out Boy 2008

Another shot at understanding the Fall Out Boy phenomenon, this time with the 08 election and wild times in Barcelona as the backdrop.

When Rock Stars Attack

Alan from Low threw a guitar at our heads, and all I got was this lousy blog.
