Do-Over with Jon Campbell: Red Rock, Worthy Perspectives or How Yaogun Can Save Rock n Roll

By in 10 Questions, Beijing 人, Tunes under the moon

Like I warned yesterday, you’re not done reading the name “Jon Campbell” on this blog, at least not for this week. I believe I’ve already interviewed Jon before before, albeit more for gigs he was playing in. This time around, it’s different! He’s in Beijing as part of Jue Festival and the Bookworm Literary Festival [...]

I know the last few write ups that involve Helen Feng fronted bands were less than enthusiastic… That is not a reflection on the person though, it’s an opinion on the music. Helen Feng, the person, is still one of the more talented and well spoken persons I’ve met from my years roaming around China. [...]

Michelle Dai Leaves Beijing – Goodbye and Thank You

By in Beijing 人, blabbers

We talk a lot about bands breaking up, artists starting new projects, new albums, etc… all the news from the music scene! What we don’t bring up often enough is the people that keep us informed about the music scene and how important/influential they can be. We also rarely take the time to thank them, [...]
