Yeah, your right..I was beat so I left the Yue festival early....thanks for clarifying the numbers .........but as for the 2nd comment.....I stand by what I said....and learn to read before leaving comments.....the last 2 albums were mainly done by Jona...I didn't mention the first 4, also if you knew anything on a personal/business level about the musicians involved you wouldn't have your head stuck up Khaela's ass......oh, and while I shamelessly admit that I do like bands that were lame 25 years ago, I never pretend to be a music know-it-all...I have always personally loved and try to promote music that doesn't involve moshing........what is shit about the music scene in Shanghai isn't the lack of quality shows it is the people who criticize the scene without actually contributing to making it better.....if it helps to massage your supiority complex and keep safe the false music idols that you place blind faith in... then feel free to stop reading the articles I write.....or better yet...write your own articles and I can have them posted on Shanghaiist.....

Abe Deyo doesn't know much about music, which is cool. Shanghai has a shit music scene, so why not a shit music editor, who thinks "shoegazer" music is all rock bands that don't invite audiences to moshing, talks fondly of bands that were lame 25 years ago, etc. But why fake the facts when you don't know what's up, Abe? Just don't mention it. The Blow is still going strong, and 90% of the music is Khaela's sexy-ass voice and eccentric lyrics. If you're at all familiar with the music, it's an obvious point. This guy produced two of her six or so albums - they weren't her strongest, and while I very much liked Paper Television, it seems likely she politely forced his exit.

hey Abe -- actually the turnout at Yue Festival Shanghai 2007 in Zhongshan Park ... was about 3,500 people. I think you left early? Also, it wasn't all expats. There were a lot of Chinese people actually!
