So I go away for a couple of weeks, and look at all these new websites. Bloody hell, I’m glad I’m not on 56k narrowband at the moment. From Beijing comes Gangstalean, hacked together by Jerry Chan of That’s Beijing, where too much music is not enough. Plenty of stuff to listen to and everything you need to know about music in Beijing before it happens.

Staying in Beijing, after 2 1/2 years dealing in dead trees and carcinogenic inks, The Beijing Bookworm catches up with that new-fangled internet thing. 11,000 books and a French patisserie to make yourself sick at. What more can you ask for?
