Trying to start things off fresh this new year – and what better way than a little in-house cleaning. First off, the site now has hosting coming out of Hong Kong, which hopefully will make things smoother for those of you browsing the site without a VPN. Second, we have a brand spanking new calendar, which is all kinds of awesome – pictures, events listing, and best of all, no more dependence on google. Check it out! And leave feedback please! Now, let\’s find a translator.

Time to don my pimp hat. I\’ve complied a list of my favorite resources, sites, blogs, collectives, online catalogues, whatever you want to call it on LBM for your convenience. A treasure chest of links covering the music scene here in China. The links can be accessed under the tab \’FRIENDS\’ up above – check it out. And if I’ve forgotten anybody or you wanna join the list shoot me an email – I\’ll add you to the roster. Out.

Alright – I\’ve been sick and tired of youku\’s uploading process which has been downgrading the quality of my videos substantial since I\’ve started this site. With that in mind I got – scratch that – my pops got started on uploading my back catologue to youtube this past spring. The first batch is up (everything pre-April this year) and the second batch should be up by August\’s end. So for all of you international readers – check out what you\’ve been missing. For the rest of you –  I\’ve also have been slowly uploading to letv.com – who have been pretty ace folks so far and who respect their content above everything – so check out some of that here. Youku will continue being my primary outlet but I\’m be putting up as much recent work up on letv and youtube. Spread the love!!

由于youku的上传过程比较繁琐，再加上影响到演出视频本身的质量，为了能让北京livemusic的乐迷们感受到更好的现场音乐。从今年4月份起我们就开始尝试上传视频到youtube和letv，对于中国的乐迷，想要看到更好的演出视频，请查看LETV（乐视网）

Took long enough! As I\’m sure many of you have tried in the past, clicking on the menu tabs above was a sham – it got you nowhere – it basically led to a graveyard of nonsense. Well after much struggle and though the wizardry of Giz ze Frenchmen we finally have a legit archive of artists under the tab \’MEDIA\’. So if you\’re curious to check up on a particular band – watch some videos, look at some photos, and read up on my first experiences with Beijing\’s finest, scroll down the list of artists who my camera has had the privilege of filming.

At the same time, we\’ve complied all the news, interviews, and tutorials into their own categories – so if you\’d like some quick links to free downloads, news stories, interviews, or tutorials (like the one Giz posted on how to attach our google calendar to your phone thingy) then head to the menu tab above entitled \’NEWS\’

Baby steps, but steps nevertheless – expect these to undergo more changes in the near future. Ideas man, ideas!!
