I'm convinced...

that Shanghai clubs just play one mix CD throughout the night and that
the DJs are just bobbing their heads, pressing buttons and pretending
to mix. I've heard the same exact mix at 3 different clubs (not that
I go to clubs a lot. in the past week and a 1/2 or so, stopped by 3
of them b/c 1 farewell party, 1 of out-of-town friend visit and 1 b/c
I was already drunk.) And these are like mostly expat-targeted clubs
(M1NT, Bar Rouge, M2) too, so the quality should be a bit better,
right? I don't know all of the song titles in the mix, but they
definitely include Show Me Love by Robyn S (this song is so old that
it came out when I was in high school) and Billie Jean by Michael
Jackson (which of course everyone goes nuts b/c that freakshow just
died).

I don't really like clubs in the first place, so maybe I'm more
observant of music selection than other folks and more willing to
"tiao mao bing" (translated: identify problems). This is why I'd
rather grab a 25kuai mug of Tiger beer at Time Passage and chat with
the shao kao dude (translated: chinese bbq guy who grills skewered
meats). But that's just me.
