Today marks my last post from Beijing, as I will be flying out this evening to set up shop in Tbilisi, Georgia. On this occasion, I am excited to introduce my readers to Scattered Purgatory, a band I believe I featured on my old blog, A Miscellany of Tasteful Music. Continue Reading
A Magic Whistle – The Solar Cell

Kosmischer Läufer – Volume Five
I don’t know how much of Martin Zeichnete’s story is true, but if it is, what a fascinating story it is!
