Slink Rat: Will from Live Beijing Music should be... →
slinkrat: We’ve all been caught asking why someone would do the things they do. Why would that neighbor steal that dog? Why would that cunt try to break up two marriages for a girl he barely knows? Why do people buy gym memberships? Why does that guy upstairs constantly drill things? But these are…

slinkrat: If there is a bad fight, Pete from Genjing Records isn’t fighting it. The thing I wanted to get across in this interview is to highlight what it takes to run a small record label in Asia, so why not just bang it straight out? What does it take to run a small record label in Asia? Perseverance, patience and resilience, I think. And the ability to manage expectations and plan ahead in...

slinkrat: AWEH is a website It’s not a shitty thing like this thing. It’s a real think with proper content and photos and good interviews.  It’s main push that makes it move is Dann who is Gui Gui Sui Sui and his Dad still has hot Chinese girls coming to Live Bar to track him down after he played harmonica there for 20 minutes one night in October. Serious. Dann interviewed Abby Fitzgibbon and...

It is a very atmospheric sound; I can imagine the guitarist manipulating effects pedals for these spacey textures. ...
