Why the lack of updates the past few weeks? Mostly screen-avoidance. Lots of rain in Shanghai now.

Obama is in town, staying at the Ritz Portman, which means nothing except a closed Jing An subway station and lots of taxi drivers telling me “Obama! Ok!” with a big thumbs up. Actually, the Chinese aren’t as Obama crazy as some other folk in the world. They’re pretty worried about protectionism and want some reassurance that America can actually pay back its debts. Afghanistan, Iraq, the health care plan…that’s a lot of Chinese money.

But Heatwolves doesn’t worry about “the world economy.” Not on Mondays.

Because even Al-Qaeda can’t destroy disco.

Bogdan Irkük a.k.a. BULGARI - Everything Is Changing

note: i can’t find this in high quality, anywhere…

Playing with a super buzzed band from Beijing this Friday at the new Mao Live House (NOT the Mao on Dongping Lu). Also, Shanghai’s best minimal techno producer, B6, and uber-rad indie rock friends Boys Climbing Ropes.

Sure to be a huge, huge getdown.

And now, the disco. Perfect late night track that always causes people to go home with each other.

Plus a B6 track. Not sure on the name of this but it’s track five on his album Post Haze.
