the secrets revealed
Shit well, there is just too much to talk about. I have a wad of notes and no desire to write it out.
Been using up thoughts on email.
Record stores:
Music: the music here seems generally lacking. The local music community consists of imitation rap, Coldplay ripoff, alterna-rock bands and jam bands (e.g. The 5th Element mega showcase featuring something like 20 bands in 5 hours). The music community isn’t exactly inspired...
I did however discover an amazing record store near Causeway Bay called White Noise Records www.whitenoiserecords.org – it’s tiny and hidden up a concrete stairwell amongst small grocery stores. The store is about the size of a bedroom, but the selection is great. From obscure Finnish, German music, indie, avant-garde, noise, experimental, to electronic... surprisingly a lot of Montreal content including Fly Pan Am.
I talked a bit with the clerk about the HK noise scene and shows. He says there’s not much support for that kind of stuff. He says people will only come out to shows if they are free, but otherwise no. Bands don’t often come to HK either and people don’t like buying cds once they find out they're CDRs. I picked up this record off this apparently small Belgian noise label Audiobot, branched from www.freaksendfuture.com. All the cover art from the label is really nice - intricate drawings and designs, stitching and brightly coloured. The one I bought is by Verde and Clay Figure – beautiful noisy compositions with synths, field recordings and occasional subtle guitar melodies, a bit psychedelic.. actually pretty psychedelic.
Artwork for this was done by www.dennistyfus.tk there are a lot of really great art/music links on the website.
This is just a taste. There more on art. I don’t have time to write.
people with nice shoes:
(for vinh closest to shots of cute girls that i got)
foggy architecture - i have a lot to say about the architecture and multi-level costruction of the city. with the mountain - narrow streets winding around buildings, giant escalators through the mid-levels of the city, and above ground walkways all around the downtown... it's like a epic/hi-tech multi-layer antfarm civilization for humans. kind of fun to maneuver the city rather than to be stuck flat on the ground. driving up the mountains is also quite the experience seeing immense apartment buildings jutting up into the sky from the foliage.
street... so street.
