So long Bundy - you bloody beauty

Last Friday, Bundy left me. Bundy was a loyal friend who kept me company for 2 years almost to the day. I know Bundy had a lot of fans among you... so this is my final homage to her. Check out this album of B-Art! http://picasaweb.google.com/thegajman/Bundy

Enter my new mate. Haven't named him yet, but a couple of lead thoughts are Kaizer (given his German heritage) or Caesar (coz he's a C180K Coupe). My first 3 days with him have been exhilerating. He's also very photogenic... http://picasaweb.google.com/thegajman/IsThisCaesar

Can't believe we lost that game

We batted well in large part. Ganguly played well. Tendulkar played well. Dhoni played well. Karthick played well. We bowled well also. Sreesanth did not get plastered. Munaf looked the part. Tendulkar was useful. BUT WE LOST!

Esh had a blast tho. Check out the video link below. Note that on the penultimate ball, Dhoni hit one in the air. The Indians started screaming coz we all thot it was a six. Then we saw one of the Lankans catch a blinder. That's when Eshan was... well... expressive of his boundless joy. The prick.

The Steely Buns ROCKED da house!

Thursday was show night! And yes, we changed over from "Buns of Navarone" to "Steely Buns". We liked the whole Steely Dan reference but didn't want to lose the behind.

So - we rehearsed hard in an air-con-less ball room at the Shang all afternoon. It was hot and bloody stuffy! And I stuffed up my Twist and Shout lines again. Jim Lafferty very sportingly agreed to get on stage with us and do back up vocals. Except, I had got the lyrics/timing wrong EVERYTIME we tried this song since the first time we did it.

SHOWTIME and I got it right.... some highlights apart from me finally getting my song right...
- Vidya R kicked off the show in style with Zombie. Couple of levelling glitches from the sound guys but after the first 30seconds, she rocked the house!
- I followed with my high-pitched La-Bamba and gruff T&S (which I finally got right)
- BJ closed the first set with Hotel Cal and Nissim's solo was out of this world. BJ also got real slim shady with his lyrics. He handed over the mic to the audience whenever he forgot the lyrics! Quite the rockstar!
- Came back for the second set post the Filipino band. And we really rocked the house

Overall ABBA night rocked! The non-sit down dinner format sat down really well with everyone without exception! The fact that there was no big after-party just proved that ABBA's itself was the massive party!

And the Steely Buns were the rockstars at the party.

I have one short snippet of me doing T&S taken from Sriram's phone... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE9lbDsA4XE

The Buns of Navarone

Yep... that's the (provisional) name of the band we're putting up at this years ABBA's (a P&G regional marketing awards night). Let's just say we'll leave the etymology of that name out of this. If it's upto Rahul - this name will change!! :)

I'm kinda nervous about my 4 songs... my scale can be a bit iffy. My timing can be a worry. And there are about 300 ppl watching the show. Might resort to Nissim's EOQ of 2 beers before the performance.

Our line up is quite a bunch - Mallu (celebrity drummer), Saurabh (multitasker... bass and vocals), Nissim (2beers and lead), Sexy Paolo (last minute saviour and keyboard), BJ (fill in drummer, vocals and resident papa), D'tripper Vidya (desperately wannabe drummer and vocals), Zombie Vidya (resident flunk and vocals) et moi (wannabe rockstar and attempting vocals).
