@Packitlikesardines:

actually the chinese underground rock scene can be just as rebellious as western music, perhaps even more so because they live under an actual totalitarian government. of course, their lyrics tend to be a hell of a lot more vague and obscure

@dlobrown8888 I'm a white dude and I approve of this message.

I watched like a cool documentary on this band I think it was on my Youtube homepage

For the benefit of those who don't understand Chinese, here are the subtitles 0:19 Listen! They've started again! 0:26 Can't let this go on! 0:27 "THEM" as written on the thugs' shirts 0:35 An innocent citizen 0:37 "Come and have a taste!" of whatever the dude's selling 0:52 It's them again 1:18 OK. We're on the way 2:02 "OK!" or "Go!" or "Ready!" in this context 2:09 Who will save the people? 2:13 Fear not! We will (blah blah blah blah blah... about what they'll do)

Such a cool band. "White Paper" is one of the best art punk records of the 2000s, drawing from everything from Neu to the MC5 to Moss Icon and combining it together in a totally new way. As for the video, I'd imagine when you play with imagery like this in mainland China, you're seriously putting yourself on the line. So pissed I missed them when they toured the US.

Very good song and guitar work, like the guitar on the right at 1:40 and forward

saw these guys last night and after the gig me and a friend were just sitting in the concert hall and out comes Yang Haisong! So I say to my friend something along the lines of, "Holy shit, look it's Yang Haisong." and then he looks over at us, and approaches us and started a conversation with us for five minutes or so. Such a nice guy, really polite and funny. Made our night!

best example being 中南海 by carsick cars

the lyrics 抽烟只抽中南海 become a whole lot more meainingful when you realise he isn't talking about cigarettes.

太棒了~!

LOL - That sounds contradictary..., the last I checked was two decades ago =P I wouldn't be doing anything if my eyes weren't open :) Yellows do have big eyes too O_O so whens the last time you went to the opticians? Got better things to list on rather than going about on Youtube talking out of your dirty white ass? Poor whiteman's face is a little too fucked up for anything. Filthy whiteman's pride is masturbation but that will end with your balls cut off and to be fed to the dogs, you tramp.

I'd rather be yellow who wears yellow glasses than being a fucking mindless, hopeless, useless, colourless, ugliness, futureless, illness, blinding, retarding, hairy body, balding head, red-necked, arse'ing, poor white man.
