Electrolist, hosted by Shanghai Ultra of the infamous VOID crew, gives the lowdown on the Shanghai Electronic music scene each week, with picks, tips, news, and other rumors.

We've told you before of Indie Heart Attack, the weekly music event at Not Me which gets a bunch of Shanghai's music-loving mavens to show off their playlists. This Thursday, they're welcoming former Shanghaiist contributor Jake Newby to man the tables!

Anke Stockburger and Han Fei, who were the first people who emailed us about free tickets. Thanks! Your names will be on the guest list - just show up and enjoy the show! As for the rest of you who emailed in, we highly recommend you come anyway. The Toxic Avenger (myspace here) is an awesome act to catch. He'll be playing at Not Me (21 Dongping Lu) on Friday night, starting at 10pm. Check out this and other shows you can see around Shanghai this weekend in our midweek music preview.

We're still bummed out that Halloween is over, so we figured we'd stretch out the mystique of the holiday by featuring this video, shot by contributor Jeremy Breningstall, of what our terrorizing on the Zombie Walk actually looked like.

                                   

Here are the rest of the photos (if you're looking for the Zombie Walk stuff, check it out here. Thank you to MNO, R3, Baijiu Robot and Kidplastik for their awesome sets and that crazy live show. Thank you to Not Me for keeping up with the hundreds of people that crowded the bar. And most of all, thank you Shanghaiist readers (and friends) who helped populate a super cool, super be-costumed Halloween extravaganza.

                     

As with most things in Shanghai, the Zombie Walk started a little later than we had planned. Still, by around 8:45pm, a good crowd of 30 to 50 people had gathered at the corner of Tianping Lu and Hengshan Lu. After making sure everyone had gotten a little yellow bracelet to signify their zombie walking prowess (and to get them into Not Me for free), Shanghaiist Editor Elaine Chow, dressed as a videogame character, rallied the troops and commenced the walk.

If you're like us, you love Halloween so much that you look forward to it for weeks, dreaming about stuffing yourself with candy and scaring every man, woman and small child in your freak-out radius. But if you're really like us, then you've probably thought a LOT about your costume, but haven't taken the time to travel all the way to Party Monster for your costume, or even log on to Taobao to look for one. Well, it's high time to get on it, because our annual Shanghaiist Halloween Party will have the definitive costume contest in all of Shanghai!

Bwahaha! As Halloween slowly draws closer and closer like a serial killer in a horror movie, Shanghaiist is putting on the scariest garb we can find for our annual, super awesome Halloween Party. If you haven't read about it (or heard about it through the grapevine), we're partnering with Not Me to offer a night packed with horror, fright, and obviously, mayhem aplenty. After all, there's gonna be a costume contest, great music by MNO, R3, Baijiu Robot and Kidplastik, and of course, a mini cityscape for the crushing! So come, or you'll be haunted by it for the rest of your life.

In our Threesday feature, Shanghaiist takes the time to count out three of well... whatever catches their fancy that week. This week: spooky things around and about Shanghai!

Halloween is Shanghaiist's favorite holiday, by far. And with the spooky season approaching, we spend a lot of time thinking about whether Chinese vampires are more zombie than vampire, the mortifying merits of American style haunted houses and, of course, our annual halloween party. And like always, we're going to hold it down like a rickety door during a zombie attack.

Culture yourself during the day and dance away the night! This weekend has a line up of thoughtful speakers and exhibits, including photographer Thomas Fuesser and painter Mao Yanyang.

Oh no! Due to some unforeseen issues with "The Man," Swedish rockers The (International) Noise Conspiracy won't be playing tonight at Yuyintang or at the Modern Sky festival in Beijing this weekend. Word has it they're still in China, so they're definitely still international, but sadly they've been banned from being either noisy or conspiratorial. As a form of consolation, Heart Attack has put together a special Indie night with guest dj's Jeans Team supported by Desert Fuck Eagle & Sacco. It's not the same as INC, but there will be 15 RMB beer all night, and there's even a chance that Dennis Lyxzén might show up.

If you’ve haven’t already heard, tonight there will be nice a treat for all you fashionistas out there. Ana Frau will be showcasing her new collection from her Frau Ana line as well as hosting a delectable after party, rife with yummy candy and drinks, at the always exciting Not Me bar... We were able to catch the very busy designer while she was still preparing for her upcoming show and badger her with some questions.

Ah, Shanghai on the weekend. Once a desert for those of us interested in catching an act or two, now so bursting at the seams with great music that we virtually spread ourselves thin every Friday and Saturday trying to take it all in. So we've looked through what's going on and picked the events we think sound the best.

Following their grand opening this past Friday, bar/lounge Not Me keeps their momentum rolling with the launch of Heart Attack, a weekly Indie Rock night focusing on live music great indie music.

We had a chat with R3 of S.T.D. Promotions (the people who brought us Ratatat in May) about his work on tonight's launch of Shanghai's newest bar and live music venue, Not Me. We also got to take a look around the place on Dongping Lu, and while it's not the biggest venue in town, it's definitely got potential for some great parties.

When the summer heat starts making you drowsy this week, we recommend checking out some live music and art shows, networking with university alums, and ending the week with drunken KTV Shanghai Idol and the Not Me opening.

Party animals that we are, we were absolutely thrilled to find out that Shanghai was getting another live music venue. Not Me, a bar/lounge on Dongping Lu, will soon be hosting a score of Indie / Indie Electro / Electroclash / Dance Rock acts in the French Concession. But before we start rooting for Cut Copy or Friendly Fires to make their way over to (or at least get copious dance floor play in) Shanghai, there first must be a grand opening!
