What once started as my personal ramblings has morphed into the number one collective resource about underground live music in Beijing and China. All bands, all music, all Rock n Roll, all the time with a little side of eclectic topics.. best of all, it's still as BIASED as ever
Everyone has been paid and transported in to create fake lines! I have been to sanlitun in past hour and 99% are people from outside beijing and none can afford to buy a phone. There are endless managers controlling them and its pre theatre! This makes Apple look really silly!
You don’t know what you’re talking about.

haha.. @ Wang ge
Pigeons might be more reliable that china unicom and/or iMessages
[...] Just two days ago the iPhone 4S was finally released in China. Apple has neglected the Chinese market for a while, but now they’re going full speed. Still, they don’t seem to be able (or willing) to produce enough to satisfy demand. The situation got out of control in Beijing and Apple was forced to stop selling the iPhone in its stores due to security reason. China Hush has a good article about what happened here. My friend in Beijing also posted on his blog here. [...]
hehe being a dork my self, I found this informative article appealing. You’d be stunned the amount of web sites won’t actually target content at that group. I will follow your self on twiter & fb assuming you have it. I probably would additionally be enthusiastic about guest publishing if that is possible on your webpage.
Hello. I like your site and your arieclts. Keep doing your great work.
