I’m pimping Chinese street punk this afternoon.

4th Nov 2023 – This involved working with a distribution and production company, pushing the first releases of Chinese music on tenzenmen. In particular, Demerit’s album Bastards of the Nation which I wanted to be released on the 8th of August 2008 (the opening of the Olympics in Beijing and an auspicious date in China due to it being 8/8/08). I can’t remember the name of the distribution company now but they operated as part of TITLE Music in Surry Hills. A quick search leads me to believe it was Inertia. The guy I dealt with there was called Ian, I remember that. He was pleasant and helpful for me though I didn’t feel he was particularly enthused about what I was doing. Especially when he compared The Gar to Boston!

Is this the default D-22 website and forum these days?

4th Nov 2023 – The tenzenmen and my personal Facebook pages were busy with discussions about Chinese independent music around this time. This was also a slight dig at Charles at Maybe Mars to get his act together with official sites for D-22 and Maybe Mars which weren’t yet available.
