What's wrong with THAT? I thought that's what drinking is for, to get "the influence".</p> http://shanghaiist.com/2006/08/23/chinas_sports_i.php#comment-313373 http://shanghaiist.com/2006/08/23/chinas_sports_i.php#comment-313373 Comments Wed, 23 Aug 2006 11:43:19 +0800 <p>Not sure what you mean by "the same fate as the Chinese Rolling Stone". The Chinese Rolling Stone, 音像世界, removed its English name from the cover, for now, due to some regulatory issues. But the magazine still publishes monthly with content from Wenner Media LLC, the publisher of RS internationally. I bought the August issue at my local newsstand on Shanxi Lu for 20 RMB. It has features on Johnny Depp (Pirates of the Carib.), Pete Doherty, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs which are translated from the USA Rolling Stone. It also carries a report on the Beijing Neo-Folk scene, news about some Chinese Punk bands that are gaining prominence, a feature from the magazine's Chinese editors who traveled to the Roskilde Festival in Denmark, reviews of local gigs, and plenty more local content. I can't read Chinese too well, but judging from the format and photos alone, it's a fuck lot better than any other 'music' magazine in this country. </p>
