Perhaps instead, you enjoy that other thing with the floor and the feet and the shuffling.

If this applies to you, then spend your Friday night away from the chants and square eyes and enjoy a night of pure rock and roll brought to you by one of Hong Kong’s leading groups in the music scene – Supersonic. Up on stage you’ll find Poubelle International (who will be playing their last gig with the current bassist) with support from Unixx as well as bundles of indie music in-between. Head over to Backstage Live, Wellington Street at 20:00 for that thing we do called dancing.
Speaking of Poubelle, here’s their latest video.

Chinese film maker Leon Wang shows us in 4 minutes just how and what the T-800 is up to these days. You know how it is with future robot assassin units sent back in time to extinguish troublesome forms of human life…

Sort of ironic as the Apple iPad and iPhones are forming a sort of Skynet… but I suppose they’d call it the iNet or something equally as aggressively assuming.
