How could Li Yuchun (李宇春) and Cui Jian (崔健) possibility perform at the same live show, especially one billed as a rock ‘n roll show? It did happen, and with some chaotic consequences.
Last night, in the second Green Flag Grassland Music Festival, lots of bottles were thrown at the somewhat androgynous Li Yuchun. People yelled [...]
It may have been a little late, but at long last Chinese Michael Jackson fans — and they are legion, they are indeed legion — have finally joined in with their own flash-mob tribute to the King of Pop. This doesn’t exactly compare to similar fan tributes like these from Sweden, which are absolutely amazing, [...]
Actually this video is not from China. But I think we should share some cute videos that will help you get out of the chaos and endless crazy news in this summer.
The MV is called “日々の音色” (Tone of Every Day) for Sour the Japanese rock band. Actually, this is their first single. The producer makes [...]
We posted earlier today about Afterquake, a music relief project to commemorate last year’s devastating earthquake in Sichuan. Here’s a terrific music video that Luke Mines just sent us. This is what he has to say about it:

Two British musicians Paddy Whalen and Giles Tully started a Chinese band called “The Pulse”(红脉). Here’s their latest music video, in which they covered Little Grass (小草), a popular Chinese folk song. “Not fragrant as a flower, not tall as a tree, I’m anonymous little grass.” The lyrics about ordinary people makes the MV quite [...]
CAUTION: For the safety of your laptop, DO NOT drink any beverage while watching this video.
On April 12th, this boy (no mistake here!) uploaded his dance video to Youku. In the next five days, with no “editors’ pick of the day” or anything, more than 180,000 people have watched this video clip and reposted [...]
You remember the Backdorm Boys, with their boy-band lip-sync videos that were such a big hit on YouTube a few years back, right? I personally find this to be far more amusing.
Linkin Park may not have made it to China like they were supposed to this last fall — alas, illness befell one of the [...]
This animated mini gangster vignette, inspired by any of a number of Hong Kong gangster flicks, should resonate with a lot of Chinese kids who came up brawling on the mean streets of Chinese cities.
