[Goanet] Sunburn burnt out
Sunburn burnt out EDM festival was shunted out because of spreading ills of drug abuse.It was relocated and strangely made comeback .Now the Govt wants to foist it on Salcette.The vox populi has raised hue and cry to stop the shifting. The music is not indigenous and it is drugs ,prostitution,criminal activities that are the attraction. and strain on law and order ,traffic regulations et all.Goa is not on world rudder of Tourism because of EDM. The so-called revenue benefits outweigh peace and tranquility issues and coreupting youth .Goa needs to aggressively promote our own music and culture. In Dec there are enough enjoyable and entertaining activities that are a draw.Instead Govt need to provide better infrastructure and law and order measures. Criminal activities ,murders ,rapes and robberies have sullied the image of Goa as tourist paradise .Tourist are enamoured with local flavour of customs ,culture etc and not imported EDM festivals.Govt should take note of feelings of the people or risk mass protest.

[Goanet] Sunburn vs Supersonic: The bitter rivalry between Goa's year-end electronic music gigs (Pamela D'Mello, Scroll.in)
--- Annual Goanetters Meet --- Annual Goanetters Meet - December 28, 2015 - 11:00 am Fundacao Oriente, Mala, Altinho, Panjim, Goa http://bit.ly/FundacaoOrienteGoa The Fundao Oriente carries out cultural and artistic activities in India with, for historical and cultural reasons, special emphasis on the State of Goa. Looking forward to seeing you there --- There's a lot of money and many egos riding on the competing electronic dance music festivals -- and, if rumours are to be believed, political corruption too. Pamela D’Mello They're supposed to be celebrations of music and love. But ever since they started going head-to-head in an attempt to become the prime attraction of Goa's party season, Sunburn and Supersonic -- India's most popular electronic dance music festivals -- have waged a rivalry that has become the stuff of local legend. Since 2013, the end-of-the-year EDM events have been accompanied by allegations that corrupt politicians have kept permissions dangling until the last minute and about the police being persuaded to cut the sound at the behest of rivals when it goes over the prescribed decibel levels. To those removed from the EDM world, some of the rumours could seem downright comical. Writers on online music portals have joined the chorus, echoing complaints of long queues at one festival or the other, nepotism in involving sons, wives and brothers as DJs, domestic talent being treated badly compared to the overseas musicians, tacky stages and sound outages. In 2013, Sunburn accused its rival of Powerpoint presentation theft and replication. This year, with both festivals scheduled to run between December 27 and 30, the clamour has erupted again. As Sunburn spruces up its venue at Vagator plateau and Supersonic tests its speakers at Candolim beach, objections have emerged once again. Local objections Earlier this year, Nationalist Congress Party leader Trajano D’Mello went to court, pointing to unpaid dues by both festivals towards security arrangements, the death of two women at the festivals in 2010 and 2014, and accusations of drug use. The court earlier this month ordered the state government to recover the dues and increase security checks at the venue. Said D'Mello, "Of what use are the festivals if a private citizen has to go to court to get them to collect dues to the state?" Some of the state's hoteliers aren't very happy either. They would prefer the two festivals -- which attract an estimated audience of 200,000 between them -- to be held at different times to serve the economy better and to ensure that the state's narrow streets aren't overwhelmed by traffic. The Goa government, they say, seems to have ignored the fact that this has been recommended by the committee it appoints each year to issue permission for such events. "What is going on, that the special committee every year says the festivals should not be held, police say two simultaneous festivals are a security and traffic hazard and yet the minister overrules the committee and permissions are given at the last minute?" said D'Mello. The controversies have been brewing since 2013, when MTV host Nikhil Chinapa, the face of Sunburn since it had started in 2007, parted ways with festival founder Shailendra Singh of a firm called Percept Live. Chinapa then joined hands with Live Viacom 18 to put together a competing festival. Supersonic chose the same venue and the same dates as Sunburn and were after fans of the same genre of music. Since then, the competition between Sunburn and Supersonic has made for some bizarre political antics in Goa. Much before the fans arrive, the reverberations are felt in the corridors of the tourism department and the state government, where a single-window clearance committee oversees events that require permissions from multiple state agencies. Turf war In 2013, the rivals fought a bitter battle for the venue -- a 74,000 sq mt beach-front property in Candolim that was the Sunburn trademark. The owners of the property switched loyalties and leased it out to the new entrants, triggering court complaints of agreement violations and counter allegations of non-payments. In the end, Sunburn was left to find a new venue. It departed for a spot on Vagator plateau, 11 kms away. On the face of it, Sunburn had suffered a blow by being bumped off the state's hottest party spot. But it used the larger 500,000-sq-mt venue in Vagator to scale up its act.

All I can say is (and this is my personal opinion): Red label is gross and if I were you, I would not offer it to any whisky drinker.

If you are into labelsforget Salute, black or blue try the Green and Gold just a touch of it with a tall glass of club soda. More than a touch of any good scotch is for the 'Alchees'. jc

When I attend parties hosted by these folks, I intentionally turn down their offers of whiskey (usually something very gross like Red label JW, White Horse or VAT 69) or some very cheap red wine. And the reaction is uniformly (akin to) "Arre yaar, what kind of Gowan are you, You are not taking Hot Drinks?". I find it much opportune to have Club Soda on the rocks. jc

Having said that, let me put this "anti-migrant talk" into perspective by relating a very private story: The Story of the River Thames One day I was walking down the River Thames in London when I heard a certain gurgling of the stomach. At this precise moment it struck me that maybe I shouldn't have had two hot-dogs for lunch. Being by the river, I thought I could get away with certain things. Taking my cue, I saw a couple of other fellow-Indians unzip their flies as well. Hurrah I said to myself, a wonderful, organic moment of community bonding. But barely had I curved my thighs into a haunch, when I saw an English bobby charge towards me with a baton so thick, I knew it would break my back into two and I would sail away into the Thames, alongwith what was left of my hot-dog. The moral of the story is this. In India we have come to accept every degradation -moral, ethical, legal, environmental, aesthetic - as the norm and not the aberration. We have infantilized an entire nation by making excuses and abdicating our responsibility for change. Best, selma

COMMENT: If one accepts that the word 'cynical' = contempt for the accepted standards of honesty (or in Goa's case, of dishonesty), I am not so sure what Fredrick is whining about. What exactly in George's comment is reflective of bigotry and anti-migrant talk. Is Frederick confirming that the "Goan Rule of Law" aka corruption is not prevailing in Goa? I personally believe that Frederick is picking a third-party bone with George. It is possible (and he may correct me on this) that Frederick is still smarting from Rajan Parrikar's accusation against Frederick; an accusation Frederick has neither denied nor dispelled. Sure, Fredrick may use the well worn "I don't bother" " water off duck's back" positions The question one has to ask is : Is the concern 'anti-migrant' or is it related to "bhaille" filthifying the place, using money to destroy the environment and making Goa into a nuevo-Foras Road of sorts. I suppose that Bollywood and the so called Indian media could proudly proclaim:"Did we not tell you ages ago that Goans were drunkards and their women sluts"?

COMMENT: While I cannot speak for the "rest of India", I can certainly attest to #1 (above) being the prevailing impression among most of the Indians esp North Indians I have come across. When I attend parties hosted by these folks, I intentionally turn down their offers of whiskey (usually something very gross like Red label JW, White Horse or VAT 69) or some very cheap red wine. And the reaction is uniformly (akin to) "Arre yaar, what kind of Gowan are you, You are not taking Hot Drinks?". I find it much opportune to have Club Soda on the rocks. As far as the second point is concerned, I believe that the "horses have already bolted from the stables" check this out Special MSRTC buses to Goa during Christmas http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/Special-MSRTC-buses-to-Goa-during-Christmas/articleshow/7170341.cms jc

As a staunch right-wing saffronite, I would like tips from boy 'academic' Jason Keith Fernandes on how to "oppose." But he better have something better than his last flop attempt to oppose the showing of my documentary "The Rape of Goa" at the Taleigao villagers' meeting in June 2007. Let's see - "evolving cultural manifestations of the Goan Catholic." As far as the rest of India is concerned, the Goan Catholic is a drunk and their women are sluts. The boy 'academic' must have been too busy academicking to notice. On a more serious note - Goans cannot speak from both sides of their mouth. If you want to hold a music festival, rent the Kala Academy theatre and have your show. You want your "rights" to have this outdoor orgy? Well, I want my rights too, to not be disturbed by your loud noise and my life intruded upon by the hordes. Goans complain that their beaches have become trash cans. So the remedy is to hold yet another orgy that advertises to the whole world that yes, come to Goa and use it like a trash can? The message has to go out loud and clear: Goa is not your personal Las Vegas, not your personal brothel, not your personal trash can. Indians, take your sh*t elsewhere, to Kankavalli, or to Bekal. Just get the hell out of Goa. Regards, r ps: The guys who are supporting this rubbish 'festival' of noise - I won't be surprised if they have a financial stake in it.

Just a night before Police had dared to stop this party following a complaint lodged in Calangute Police station under Sound pollution act . The decibel level had exceed by almost 89 which is an offence under Noise pollution act 1998 section 3 & 4. The Supreme Court has acknowledged citizen’s right to silence and sound sleep which is a biological need for human beings. In Goa it is all too easy to get around laws. There is already a ban on noise making instruments between 10pm and 6 am. However, we can see how the rulebook goes for a toss during the festive seasons here. The authorities (the beaurocrats and police , to be precise) also get indulged (on being paid bribes, of course) and facilitate the organizers of such events in residential areas. The appeal to such raucous organizers not to disturb the citizens has hitherto remained unheeded. I wonder how this event has bypassed the purview of the regulations. Vinay
Re: [Goanet] Sunburn?
If anybody violates the Madhya Pradesh Sound and Noise Act as extended to Goa, the equipment is siezed and the show is put out of action. The organisers of Sunburn are NOT anybody! If you disbelieve me, file an RTI and find out what happened in the office of the Superintendent of Police North, SDPO-Dy S.P.Porvorim, Dy S.P. Traffic, DM and District Collector-North and SDM-Bardez who were the actors on stage. The script writers, producers, directors and choreographers are hidden from view to avoid Sunburn. It appears to be a case of legal extortion, stopping the show on Sunday evening and getting a deposit of Rs.1.00 lakh on Monday morning only to let the show go on!

[Goanet] Sunburn?
My young journo friend, Nigel Britto, has this on his Gmail status message today: Sunburn - noun, verb, adjective - The terrorist act of illegally imposing your loud, disgusting and obnoxious computerized music on peace-loving people with blatant disregard for the law. Mostly implemented by bribing officials to get permissions. Associated with copious amounts of drugs, sex, nudity and general aural and corporal degradation. Patronized by addicts, drunkards, and wannabe youth with downward-spiralling self-esteems and rock-bottom or non-existent IQs. nigelbri...@gmail.com
