In 1960, John Coltrane released one of his most famous albums, “Giant Steps“. The title track features some of the most complex chord changes, hence the name. The term also is a marketing strategy to announce leaps in the jazz world.

In 1969, Neil Armstrong uttered the famous words upon landing on the moon: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

In Kuwait however, we have tiny steps.

Good morning Kuwait Music readers

How are you this fine morning? Good? That’s great

I on the other hand am in a slightly confusing situation. My emotions are conflicting and I feel I need to talk to someone, so I am hoping you can help me, with your ears (eyes) to listen and advice or general ideas, to maybe help clear my head one way or another, perhaps even just writing about what is happening in my mind will help, as I pour out all the thoughts onto paper without disruption and then receive your advice at the end. At the moment my heart and head are at war and I need to let it all out, as all weekend I have been silent, brooding and considering all kind of things, good, bad and FUGLY!

Kuwait Music exclusive by Hashim Al- Nasser

Hello fellow Kuwait-Music readers. I’ve been sat at my laptop for the better part of an hour, writing (and erasing) paragraph after paragraph, trying to think of what there is to possibly share with you all. Do I tell you my opinion on something? Do I write about another happening in my life? Do I maybe give you some teasers of things that I’m working on?

I’d written about an essays worth of ideas to talk about but they didn’t last long, I guess my mind didn’t see those topics of any importance, or with how I write, could possible come across as egotistical or even, for lack of a better word, vain. However, I decided that I should talk less about me, and more about what I’ve been working on. Let’s see if I can get some hype going here.

Good Afternoon Kuwait Music Readers,

Forgive me for posting this article so soon after my last one but I couldn’t wait, I was so inspired that it just burst out of me!

My mind was put into a mad spin the other day by a recent interview on here with Ahmad Al-Hamily and Suburban Man.

Good Afternoon Kuwait Music Readers,

Its Kathryn again, hope your all well and hope you don’t mind if I spill the contents of my head here.

I’m sat here on my lunch break, my mind was wondering, as usual to music in Kuwait and it’s up’s and Down’s and Queens – Bohemian Rhapsody came on my I-pod “Easy Come…Easy Go…Will you Let Me Go??” which reminded me of a subject I have been pondering all weekend and I am going to attempt to capture what has been buzzing around my head.

Having read Kathryn’s wonderful blog post about the departure of their incredibly talented Chromatic drummer Aakash, it actually got me thinking. Call this the following of trends, call it whatever you wish, but at the end of the day, we all need someone to push us and drive us to do something out of the ordinary. In my case, it’s actually bare my soul, put all my nerves, reclusive-ness and overall shyness behind and actually write a little something. As of right now, I have no idea where I’m going with this, but if you ask me, this is probably the most honest form of writing. Not knowing where I’m going, not knowing what will come of simply typing really bears the mind of an individual and lets people properly understand how they think. So Kathryn, I thank you for that!
