Local Music is the blood shared by community. And safe too.
As I listen to Brian Greyson, his five man band and wife belting out house rocking covers and poetic originals, I realize how deprived many Chinese people are from good live music. My point of comparison is China because after living there for 4 years, lacking live local music with soul, took a toll on my creativity.
I phrase this statement "with soul" because China has a long way to go before the underground music scene produces unique beats, catchy vocals and talented group bands.
Harsh? China struggles to synthesize original back beats in overly pop sounding love struck lyrics.
Everything I Miss

Well, back into the cockpit of the Shannon's Shanghai Diary. I am doing fine for the most part. I just got over the flu and currently fighting this lingering cold. I got food poisoning last week and was green in the face. Now, I am in finals so I have plenty of grading ahead of me.
