So this guy walks into a Barbados... Welcome to my blog, where I will recount all my adventures and experiences during the year and a half I am living in Barbados. I will be pursuing a Master's degree in Integration Studies at the University of the West Indies' Cave Hill campus near Bridgetown. For the first ten months I will receive a stipend as a Fulbright scholar and am essentially unable to leave the country. After that I return to normalcy.

Good New Bajan Band
The other day my friend Stefanie introduced me to a new rock bank from Barbados called Threads of Scarlet. Their sound is nothing original, but the music is still very good and tightly played. I was particularly excited to find a Caribbean rock band as I am growing increasingly tired of Dancehall, Soca, and U.S. pop/rap. No one listens to rock n' roll anymore (when was the last time a rock song was #1 in the U.S.?) and it makes me sad! Anyway, I if you guys are interested I recommend you check out their album, which is called "Katharsis." Here is a video of them playing live in Barbados from a couple weeks ago. It's not the best quality footage, but you get the idea.
