From Danwei:

It must be really in vogue to shoot videos on Gay Shanghai now. Just last week, we showed you one that was shot by Adam Schokora for Danwei TV. Earlier this year, we told you about a slew of Chinese online gay TV shows, including 同志亦凡人 or Queer As Folk (in English) which featured a Gay Shanghai segment as well. And why would anyone doing a TV program on Gay China not want to come...

We have a friend who we swear is paid by the New York Times, because all he ever does is send us links to stories from that rag. The latest is entitled "Singing and Doing the Hustle in Austin" and covers the South by Southwest Music Festival, which is an indie music fan's wet dream (it ended on Sunday). The story mentions that more than 20 percent of the musical acts in the festival came from outside the US. Then it said this:

Jeremy Goldkorn, the creator of Danwei.org, a Website that documents urban life in China, has recently joined the millions of vbloggers worldwide in getting comfortable speaking to the camera.

Seems video blogs are popping up all over the place. We already told you about Danwei TV, the video blogging effort byone of our favorite blogs, Danwei. Well, they are back with a second episode -- "Extra! Extra! Read all about it!" -- which shows what you might find at the typical Beijing news stand. We enjoy these videos because they are professional, informative and subtly hilarious (Jeremy is no longer filing stories from construction sites, but he still wears his hard hat ... and you gotta love that microphone). You can watch the video below:

Ever wonder what your favorite China bloggers look and sound like in the flesh? No? Well, what if they were wearing a hard hat and talking into a boom microphone? Our friends from the north, Danwei, have launched Danwei TV, a classy looking video blog that files reports from around China's capital. Here is how Jeremy Goldkorn (pictured) describes the first installment:
