FAQ

Q: What is Balarama Music?

A: Balarama Music is a website/blog that focuses on music information as well as giving readers tools to find music, learn about music, share music, et cetera.

Q: Ba-alarm? Ballarine? Am I saying it right? And what exactly is it?

A: Balarama is actually a Hindu God. However, since I’m not a part of that religion, the site’s name comes from my favorite line in one of my all-time favorite songs “Wet Sand” by the Red Hot Chili Peppers: “Balarama beauty going toe-to-toe.” As for as pronunciation goes, the correct way to say it is “Bah-lah-ram-ah.” Not that complicated. You should actually check out the song for all its greatness. Click here to read more about the song and to download it!

Q: Who are the Red Hot Chili Peppers?

A: Best band ever. You should be listening to them. Next?

Q: Why did you start this site/blog?

A: My interest in music has always gone further than other people. I love to know everything about bands, albums, songs, and what-have-you ranging from meanings of the songs to cool tricks used in the recording studios. After some advice from some friends, I decided to kind of share my knowledge of music with others as well as give them tools on how to find their own knowledge. It’s also helping me find new music in the process too as while writing about one thing, I’ll discover another. Thank God it’s not anything related to Creed though.

Q: Who is Creed?

A: Worst band ever. You should never listen to them. Next?

Q: Where do you find a lot of your obscure music as well as learn about all of it?

A: That can all be answered in the Tools section which is always being updated with new information & tools.

Q: I think you should cover [insert random indie band].

A: Well, that’s not really a question nor did you say please. However, I am pretty open to any and all music and I certainly am discovering new bands every day so if you have some good stuff you think I should be listening to and/or covering, shoot me an e-mail at dougnunnally@balaramamusic.com.

Q: I’m the frontman for [insert random indie band]. Would you mind reviewing and/or talking about us?

A: Of course. Just shoot me an e-mail at dougnunnally@balaramamusic.com with some information on you guys and where to find your music.

Q: Do you have a Facebook or MySpace?

A: Sure do, but I rarely ever use MySpace & Facebook is for my close friends only so not really for you, the reader. If you want to talk to me, there’s always my e-mail address dougnunnally@balaramamusic.com.

Q: You suck.

A: Again, not a question and honestly, you should be more constructive with your feedback.
