Mutually Awkward

Shanghai and Music Stuff

 

So an editing project at my job has sent me to Shanghai again. It was meant to be one week but now it will be two. Which is cool. But while it is a beautiful city, all the work has kept me from seeing anything new that I hadn’t see on previous trips here. Hopefully that changes this week. Though one cool place I got to check out was area called Tianzifang. It’s pretty much a maze of lit alleys filled with cafes, pubs and craft shops. Unfortunately, being the non-camera crazy guy I am, I once again forgot to bring my camera for photos. So to give you an idea of what it looks like, this will have to do. I shall definitely be retuning to this place while I am here..

On the night before I arrived in Shanghai last weekend, Beijing band Hedgehog returned to Hong Kong almost exactly one from their last visit. With them being one of the first bands I had ever seen in Asia, I had to go see them again. And I LOVED IT.

Though I won’t be in Beijing until later this month, I’ve still have been blasting their tunes in my iPod for the past couple days. They are GREATNESS. And did I mention I am in love with the drummer, Atom?

catch ups.

Well, well, well.  I haven’t posted anything on here since the 14th. Ugh… I fell behind again. I’ve just been watching too much damn Netflix since getting a new computer. But so many awesome things have been happening every week this month and if I wait any longer to post about them, it would mean endless catching up. So the time is now! First of all: I went to Shanghai earlier this month! It was rad.

Though my first time in mainland China was all work and half a day of play, it was a beautiful city to visit and I loved how different it was to Hong Kong life. Two major factors that I noticed: less crowded and less English. Both of these facts I liked a lot and left me definitely wanting to return to the mainland soon to wander on my own and explore new scenery.

One particular thing I am happy I got to do in Shanghai? Walk down the street listening to Shanghaied  by Bishop Allen! Of course, I had planned to do this weeks in advance.
