Western China a crucial front in global cola war
Posted byYou can (openly) sponsor the police now?? I'm in. I'll pay my local flatfoot to have "Danmairen = Great guy" written on his riot shield.

Posted byThis German mother-exorcist is extremely successful in invading the underground live bars all over China. His events are regularly sold out way ahead. And a 100 or 200 RMB entrance fee isn't cheap. Obviously he does something right, and hits the main nerve of young Chinese teenagers with lyrics and music that can't be describe other than extremely cheesy. In fact so cheesy that one could even suspect a very well-hidden cynic behind his forced emo-mask (American psycho anyone?).
Hey Max do us a favor and skip the underground places on the mainland, get a deal with China mobile and play in the big culture palaces, that's the appropriate location. But more likely we will see more of his offspring.

Posted byI knew as I read this that the guy would be torn apart in the comments, and I think that is right.
Then I got to the part about 100/200 kuai....
This guy's a douche.
Interview: Maximilian Hecker
Posted byI thought I had a few little problems that needed attention in my life, but after reading this...I am not the one with any problems! This is really some GOOD bullshit!
"My Chinese fans seem to understand my music intuitively".
Seems that you are counting on a pretty high level of intuition yourself to think that your Chinese fans are going to even "intuitively"understand YOU!
"I adore Asian women." "They seem to be unattainable, and so I can only live my adoration for them in a virtual way."
Wow, deep, wonder what a virtual orgasm is like? And what makes Asian women more attainable or unattainable than women from any other place in the world? Come on!
This is the biggest load of crap. Oh, I am sure you have "found yourself" but it seems there are a few screws still on the ground. "...the release from the parents." I bet your folks could sure do with the break.
"...here starts this decomposed, beautiful city's grey, eternally resting desperation." AND "...Like an infant, lying in the black of the uterus in his helpless decomposition." AND "...by uniting with this woman – representing the opposite of my mother – I had performed some kind of "mother exorcism."
I just had to include these examples of what this guy said in his interview for all the readers. Now I ask you: Are you going to pay 100 or 200 Yuan to see this guy Saturday night?
Get real.

"What I am doing here. Aren't I anything else but a helpless, small, deserted and sad child?"
"I'm like a scared roe deer, an abandoned child, a mite in the universe,"
He sounds like a real hoot. Hope the music can lift the cheesy lyrics.

Posted by"Here I have this strange, sacred feeling to be in an oasis, in a bubble, on the moon. In a space that one cannot reach by moving towards it, but only by exclusiveness. Here I am unattainable. Safe. Protected. Independent. Maybe for the first time in my life. I had to leave my home and to travel to the other side of the world to finally find myself."
Yeah, like, awsome man. Find yourself. Far out.

Posted byThe parties, the jams, the pool, the random Tuesday's till sunrise, Sam, Xin Xin, the faces, the fights,the first place where locals and foreigners mixed in any real way, the little den of darkness with so much light! Speak Easy!
Interview: Sam Debell of Speakeasy Bar
Posted byI've been in Beijing for 2 years now but was in Kunming during the Speakeasy glory days when it was *the* place to go for partying and assorted troublemaking. I can hardly imagine KM without the Speak. Cheers to Lao Lu, Sam, David, Xin Xin and everyone else who made it what it was!

Inside Kunming's 'dwarf empire'

Dog ownership trendy once again in Kunming
Posted byGO buy a fish. This dog business is disgusting as are the majority of their owners.
I just bought a new town house SPECIFICALLY because they do not allow animals of any kind. I would guess it is the only place with a policy like this. Can't wait until it is built!
