:: a fun animation short / MV titled Road from Chinese photo-blogger Wang Chengzhi (王承之, A.K.A. Photobluer) about an upset child running away from his bickering parents and an overbearing teacher. The clip ends with “我们一直奔跑, 但找不到尽头,” meaning: “We are always running, but we can’t escape.” Background music by Beijing-based band The Gar (嘎调), a song titled Quan (圈). The Gar is also on Douban. // AjS
:: see below for a music video from the Chinese shoe-gazing retro band Self Party. The song is called “Take;” this is a distortion mix version of the song. Self Party previously went by the name Monkey Power. // AjS
