NYC Indian Classical All-nighter Preview on WFMU

While being a usual event on the subcontinent, all-night Indian classical concert events are not so common here in NYC. Rob Weisberg's Transpacific Sound Paradise previews one this Saturday, May 2nd between 6 and 9 PM live on WFMU : NY-based tabla player and scene advocate Samir Chatterjee has organized a 10th annual all-nighter taking place Saturday to Sunday May 9 to 10 at the Society of Ethical Culture (2 West 64th Street, Manhattan). Included on the show: three musicians who will be among the many participants in the concert: highly regarded veteran virtuosos Pandit Soumitra Lahiri (sitar) and Sri Shailendra Misra (tabla); and representing the next generation, Samir Chatterjee's son, up-and-coming tabla player Dibyarka Chatterjee. Tune in and prep for Saturday's all night-flight.

Permit me to spend a moment complaining about the HUGE length of the URL of the permalink to that post.

I mean, come on: http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2009/04/while-being-a-usual-event-on-the-subcontinent-all-night-indian-classical-concert-events-are-not-so-common-here-in-nyc-rob.html

yeah, whoops.

Posted without giving the article a title, by the time I did, it had formed the URL based on the intro line.

Hope you aren't writing out URLs all day by hand.

When passing that url along, I also included the url of the story above it, in case the initial url wrapped too weirdly to allow easy rebuilding of it.

(Yeah, I know tinyurl exists, but since I've seen it used so much for rickrolling, I avoid it. I even imagine a Joan Jett takeoff, "I Hate Tinyurl! Just another case of rickroll, baby ...")

[Brian Turner]

Uh, OK then.

You can avoid being rickrolled via TinyURL by typing in "preview" as a subdomain in front of the TinyURL address. For instance:
