Beijing's first punk band, The Fly

A short article I wrote about Beijing's first Punk Band, The Fly, was just published in the Asian American Writer's Workshop magazine, Open City, here.

And for those interested in the album mentioned in the article, you can get it here.

come on in

Soon after I moved to New York City in 1997 I began to notice that bodegas run by people from around the world sometimes stocked CDs and DVDs of music and film from the countries they had come from.

The music I've collected from these bodegas can almost never be found in the "World Music" sections of the few remaining places to buy CDs in the U.S.; nor, for that matter on iTunes (or cheapo MP3 sites like Soundike).

If you are an artist or publisher and do not want your music here, just let me know and I'll remove it.
