Hiatus, Return, Karan.

Hiatus. Good bands do it all the time: take long breaks between albums, whether to chart a new direction for their music, to find or solidify their identity and ethos, to overcome creative block or simply to have a breather away from the public eye. The idea is to reinvent and re-emerge with what they believe to be a better version of themselves.

We at Oscillate Wildely are doing precisely that. That's right, I used the plural 'we', the inclusive 'we', the collaborative 'we'. The 'we' that simply says - I'm not alone here in my journey to chronicle the music I love. Oscillate Wildely has a new co-author, folks! And he is none other than my dearest friend and jam-buddy Karan!

In the couple of years Karan and I have known each other, we have bounced music recommendations off each other countless times and have collaborated musically too (usually in the form of jam sessions within the four walls of our room, so that no one has to bear with our wannabe covers; FYI Karan plays a mean guitar). Co-authoring this blog adds a new dimension to our musical journey, one were eagerly looking forward to in the days to come!

\m/ that's us \m/
Check out Karan's first post, a Motley Tunes segment, and get a small taste of what he digs!

I'd like to break MY hiatus and announce OUR return by quoting the legendary last line of Stairway to Heaven, a line that resonates with us a lot: "To be a rock, and not to roll."
