Hong Kong Radio

[imomus]

I arrived in Hong Kong around 5pm on Wednesday. Here are my haphazard first impressions. It's like Birmingham squashed up against a mountain, with gangly spindly glass towers. It's got too many horrid pot-bellied foreigners speaking English. And the whole place is owned by HSBC. But at least I've got free wifi in my room, the food is cheap and delicious, and the trams are charming. Click the picture of hosts Eddie and Lik for 27 minutes of audio impressions, captured the first night and flung unedited into iTunes. Further adventures of the world's least stoppable blogger.

so.. i'm very interested in knowing what types of people will be attending your concert. like are they artists, musicians, foreigners, hk born non-chinese, bi or trilingual hkers, hk modernists, rich kids who travel a lot? fans of the pancakes? i'm curious because your music seems a bit on the esoteric side, and maybe too much for the likes of a HKer. not that you aren't great but hong kong doesnt seem to have a great range of diversity in terms of music. i am aware of a small underground scene that is similar to the japanese indie/shibuya kei/twee style such as the pancakes, marshmallow kisses, dylan art...to name a few. i think it's really cool that you are playing there and hopefully play a role in opening new doors. maybe i'm ignorant and just don't know enough but this is my perception of hong kong and you're right, i don't live there.

those chef guys really know how to wear an apron.

Yeah, I thought an apron was to keep food splashes off clothes... but I guess if you're not wearing clothes, it's to soak up the sweat.
