What’s in a name?

Not quite the right Kaushik… (Indian director Satish Kaushik)

It’s been some time since I’ve posted here. Work keeps things hectic, not to mention recent trips to Las Vegas, Colonial Williamsburg, and Delaware. The result is, precious little time for creative endeavors and distractions.

Related to that, yesterday I got this note from someone on a music-related message board I spend too much time on:

mr. kaushik, hope all is well. i saw a post of yours and figured i might as well introduce myself. i’ve never toured before, so i don’t know how easy it is to remember random people from city to city, but i saw fourtet, yourself, and others play at the grog shop in cleveland this past summer. i was the gangly lookin’ dood that came up to you and asked for the title of the song you played that madlib had sampled for the latest quasimoto. it was the north carolina joint.

anyhow, maybe you can place the face with the name now. if not, i will see you around on teh [music-related messageboard mentioned above].

Of course I wouldn’t turn down a gig with Fourtet or anyone in the Stones Throw crew, but I don’t know them and they sure don’t know me. Interestingly, this is the 2nd time that someone has mistaken me for Koushik. I expect this is going to happen with increasing frequency when my music is finally ready for release.

So just for the record, I am not Koushik. I might be down for a Kaushik vs. Koushik collabo though; that would be fun. Here’s my reply to that message I got:

Hey (name), thanks for the pm but I think you might be looking for Koushik

. We have the same name but I spell mine differently — not to mention my music’s of a different style…

peace
Kaushik
