Panic! at The Disco? No thanks! Dribbly diarrhea at the Disco is more like it, and 300 RMB is a high price to pay for that. But there’s loads of hot YYT action, Afro-sonic, and more. In late-breaking news, The Theo Croker Sextet is finally starting their Peace Hotel residency on Friday, though they’ll be without Theo on Saturday.

It’s a little thin this week, perhaps due to World Cuppage. However, let that not deter you from seeing awesome performers like the Subs and The Swedish Radio Symphony.

“What We Learned From…” will be a new feature promoting bands who have come to Shanghai in association with the Expo.

This week we were invaded by Finland.

One cool thing about the Expo so far is that different countries have been taking turns taking over the city, one week at a time. This week it’s Finland, but that’s not to say there isn’t local flavor going on at the same time.

I defy Dan Shapiro. Though of course the expo could have more awesome music, there’s definitely more awesome stuff than usual, and now that it seems no clubs are getting shut, the only lame thing about it (musically, anyway. I can relate to the idea that it’s too much money to spend on this kind of thing) is that Topfloor Circus got shut down. I mean, as wrong as that is, I’ll take Herbie Hancock and Cafe Tacvba.
