70s Commune Bar Culture Study Centre

I?ve never been one for Liuzhou?s bars. Most of them are overpriced hell holes playing loud dance music and selling bad drinks to drunken 15 year olds. Or drunken 30 year olds acting like drunken 15 year olds. So, last night, when I was invited out f

Snail Songs

I?ve just found that there was a concert in Liuzhou last week featuring local musicians and their compositions. Sixteen different musical items were presented including a song about Liuzhou?s favourite dish, Luosifen (Snail Noodles).

The Worst Music Video in the World

Saturday, 19 January 2008 10:46 A GMT+08
China's military, The People's Liberation Army, the world's largest standing army, no doubt has some crack regiments somewhere, but the vast majority seem to be young kids, male and female, in uniforms obviously designed for their elder and larger si

It looks like am about to make a lucky escape. In my last post, I mentioned that I am going to the UK for a couple of weeks. I had just posted that and say down to peruse the daily newspaper, where I found that...

One of Liuzhou's most spectacular successes is not in industry. The city is famous throughout China for its culture, especially as represented by Liuzhou Song and Dance Troupe.

Tour On Charming Liuzhou

I've added a new(ish) Liuzhou video to the selection here. This one is rather colourful, features the minority peoples of the surrounding area and even includes this humble blogger - very briefly. And I ain't telling you where!

Seven Days - Dadawa

It was just in my last post that I said that Chinese popular music isn't really my thing. There are, of course, exceptions.

Wei Wei

Thursday, 1 February 2007 11:59 P GMT+08
One of the most annoying sounds you hear in China is people yelling Wei! Wei! into their mobile phones. So, I pity anyone whose name is Wei Wei. She must think people are yelling to her all the time. Maybe they are.

Modern Times

Thursday, 31 August 2006 11:59 P GMT+08
For the last week or so, I have been strolling the streets of Liuzhou with my head full of Bob Dylan's newest album, Modern Times. I am listening to it through the MP3 player built into my Nokia mobile phone. Of course, although the CD was released o

Come Gather Round, People

One thing the locals love to get up is singing folksongs. Liuzhou is famous (allegedly) for its folk song culture and it is certainly possible to come across groups of people singing in the local parks and by the riverside.

Muttering Small Talk At The Wall

Those who know me well are aware that, when I am not muttering small talk at the wall or either enthusing or complaining about China, I am a bit of a fan of Mr. Robert Dylan.
