...........We Die Young!!

<==== A mosh-pit yus!!

In Pakistani media, coming to mainstream is very easy if you really know the humour of the people over here; what they want to listen? how much should you glitter yourself to commercialize?. Well we do have the answers in the form of several posers who have brought up and still emerging which every one can look through and feel by seeing towards the music TV channels - plagiarize of the Indian cinema oriented music.

<=== Priests of hardcore..

 I don't know what to say but the mainstream media is providing a podium to these mediocre; so how the music videos they make? enough bucks in the chamber? here the notorious idea - taking a mademoiselle from the streets along with some bunch of goofs trying to impress her or something with the similar shit; blah! I can't define it, a fag comes up with some emo style wearing some wayfarers along with some more bunch of guys and start doing something really crap, weird music; eerie lyrics and some random shitty dance - no shit given just wrote what I saw and still seeing through the tv channels, where their is ARY Musik, AAG, Oxygene all are ruining the real talent by not giving chances to the underground struggling acts.

<;=== (The geeks of metal)

Rohail Hyat of CokeSickStudio, I just don't understand this guy, I really admire his work with Vital Signs but what the hell he did to Coke Studio? keep on inviting the same materialistic faces. Fuck it man! Here Nescafe Basement is like a wind of change, a podium that nourishes the creative minds  - under the supervision of Xulfi ex EP guitarist, the folks did great job.


Well here comes some pros too, Its a very good thing too in this all environment! Really?? WTF then? Some FM Radio Stations do need real applause for upbringing the talent, I would like to name City Fm 89 (especially the Wes Malik; a real guy who truly knows how to present. His healthy humour is very appreciable, he often invites many underground bands and plays 'hidden' tracks; artists like Isloo based Heavy metal act Blackhour have gain a good recognition and last but not the least Gibran Nasir the frontman of Messiah - one of the first metal bands to came through hosted 'Black Sunday' which totally devoted to the metal scene but unfortunately it is no more due some reasons. How can I forget 'All That Jazz' by late Masood Hasan, he was finest in his creative selection of vintage jazz, one of my favourite columnist he was.). Also 'The Awakening' on FM 94 plays a pivotal role in the same case. Radio One FM 91 (Umair Afzaal, the guy who runs Shor Bazar Artist Management along with some mates, through which have done many interviews of several underrated artists to aware the unaware guys WTF is 'music'!. Poor Max Cavalera, hahah! poor and sick us! the mathafuckin' circumstances didn't allow him to come in here. well here are the interviews that can be accessed here:
