Episode 43

I'm joined by @krishraghav and @yancongphoto to discuss popular music in China, the indie rock scene in Beijing, and we'll finally get the answer to the question asked by FP: "Why are there 1.5 billion people in China and no good rock bands?" Music from Carsick Cars, the Romp, Cui Jian, Chui Wan, Chinese Football, Omnipotent Youth Society, Hualun, and INTO1 and more!

I'm an American fan of Asian pop culture and especially of East Asian pop music. I've spent 20+ years learning about this corner of pop culture and hope to be a bridge between East and West. All opinions are my own. Show notes and other writings from the past decade-plus can be found on my website.
