1. Slink Rat: Studies show boredom leads to creation of more Tumblr accounts →

    slinkrat:

    I wish Muted Rainbow was a massive pill head so I could call her Munted Rainbow. Michelle of Muted Rainbow fame has just exiled from Shanghai for not going to Dada every two weeks and refusing to share Sub Culture’s posters on Facebook. She now lives in Beijing where she will spend her time…

  2. 2012/10/1: pangbianr celebrates What Bar’s birthday at… What Bar

    SOURCE: http://pangbianr.com/what-bar-2012-10-1/

    JOSH: The small & beloved WHAT BAR is having its annual “holy shit we’re still here!” shindig over the October holiday, which will be a tense one given the whole massive international conflict/major power transition about to go down things that are making Beijing a tense place to be these days even if you’re not posted up literally right next to the nation’s military & political headquarters. How’s that for a run-on sentence!

    pangbianr celebrates on Oct 1 w/ some of them old familiar sounds:

    ~ Deadly Cradle Death (noise rap)
    ~ Xiao Hong & Xiao Xiao Hong (contact mic vocals + drum&bass no wave)
    ~ You Xi (loose & soulful garage duo)
    ~ Damage Blanket (mean-spirited industrial electronics)

  4. 100 Flowers: Yan Jun The godfather of Chinese experimental music

    By Josh Feola on Aug 16 2012

    Source: http://www.tinymixtapes.com/column/100-flowers-yan-jun?page=show

    100 Flowers is a roots-level view of the of the contemporary Chinese musical underground. The aim of this column is to articulate the contingencies of the Chinese scene and arrive at a parallax view of Chinese society from the perspective of its most peripheral negotiators. Read the previous entry here, and email the author here.

    “To speak of ‘experimentation’ in China means to discuss it literally: Every single person in the entire country experiments daily and tries out new things. This is particularly true of the last decade. In pre-Olympic Beijing any street, building, restaurant, store, company or regulation could be transformed or even disappear at any given moment. The Nike advertising slogan ‘Everything Is Possible’ reflects the spirit of these times.”
