So my foot’s been broken for over a month and i have literally not left my house. this week i went back to work and it almost killed me (i have no upper body strength and crutches are not the easiest.)  In 2 weeks I can get the cast taken off and switch to a special walky shoe.  Just in time for Punk Rock Tribes, thank god. ****praying emojis****

"Rock 'n' roll is like looking at yourself in a mirror - you see who you are."

- The adorable Atom, kick ass drummer and vocalist from Beijing band Hedgehog.

Watching this makes me want to take up drumming immediately.

One of my favorite Beijing bands,The Offset: Spectacles, just got a plug in Time Out Beijing and it goes like this: "They are the most interesting and uncompromising band I've seen in Beijing..." I have to agree. And add that their stuff is beautiful. Blurb on their show/mp3 download: http://chinamychina.tumblr.com/post/2908927245/the-velvet-y-chinese-underground-with-mp3s

In high school I used to be the top student but when I was fifteen I became a very bad student. I always feeling lonely and unhappy with my school and with the kinds of jobs my classmates want, and I think if I do not play music I will lose all of my joy. I cannot live like others are told to live. I think I was born like this. Rustic is my first band and my first try to live the life I want.
