Time for some Music







There is an incredible music scene in Beijing that I have neglected. First: is a snip-it from one of my favorite Chinese bands Pet Conspiracy, their performances have an energy that is enthralling and quirky behaviour that is infectious. A girl, a gun necklace, possessed eyes. Second: a balloon that dances. Third: The whole elderly population of china rocks out every night, in every city across china. Think about that - millions (MILLIONS!) of elderly Chinese rocking out on a nightly basis. With a population around 1, 400,000,000 is it possible the entire population of Canada - consisting of elderly Chinese - rocks out in China, every night? Brought to my doorstep a few weeks ago was the Handsome Furs who played a small venue and it was the best concert I have ever seen. A husband and wife duo (lead from Wolf Parade) that gave everything to their set, half maniacal half humble. Really spectacular, check them if you can.
