China has brought millions out of poverty. The US has not – by choice Despite the US’s economic success, income inequality remains breathtaking. But this is no glitch – it’s the system

Good read

Detour is my latest cassette release on LITA, the Dali-based tape label from Yunnan Province. It marks my first-ever original soundtrack, built entirely from the score to Arthur Henry’s short film of the same name.

I was blown away by Upchuck’s album in recent releases, more so than Snooper which I thought was fine but not special

And I’ll throw Cephalosis in the mix as well. Puman, Bagedai and Manhu on the more reggae/world side of things… I get excited, sorry…

They very rarely perform. They’re the biggest Yunnan band right now apart perhaps from Akini Jin (but that’s more on the pop side). Not sure how a foreign audience would react to them not knowing Chinese. Other current Yunnan acts I recommend: 本能实业 (Instinkto Industrio), 脱兔 (Run! Rabbit Run!)

Nice! Have you listened to Taiga’s new album by any chance? Very different style though 🤭 Bayan Dalai performed at our café a few years back, great artist.

Our Pride And Joy goes to WOMEX 2025! Manhu was the first band signed by Sea of Wood Records, in 2016. They were exactly the type of band the founders set out to support when the company was...

Very happy to announce Manhu will be showcasing at WOMEX this year, what an achievement for this band!

Puman’s 2nd album is coming out, available on pre-save, and lots more happening for them this summer. No plans for the US but if you’re in Europe, you could catch them

🔊 A fantastic little piece by @brianhioe.bsky.social for @flaminghydra.com Over here, we hardly hear anything about the Chinese electro scene. It’s pretty surprising how it’s not all that different from our scene in the West.

61 billion for how long? Doesn’t seem that much. Also, the ppl designing that system (vaguely remember it being Palantir and Musk’s space operation) seem to want to charge the US DoD a subscription service, which I find hilarious and dumbfounding. There was a Guardian article on this if I recall

What a haul for this episode with tracks from some artists spanning from Southwestern retro mandopop to various flavours of folk, experimental electro and a surf rock song that makes for a feel good episode of the LCM Podcast.

Framing it as “consumers” rather than citizens is a major problem of itself. People, including journalists apparently, seem to forget no democracy can function without citizens having access to clear reliable information. How else are they supposed to vote?
