Ratatosk dot cn and SUBSPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn on Tuesday, July 11, 2006 at 10:58 AM
 SUBS at Oya in Norway in 2005 - pic by Jon Campbell The name Ratatosk is taken from a squirrel who lives on Ygdrasil, the cosmic tree of Norse mythology. A little like the Greek god Hermes, Ratatosk delivers messages all over the cosmic tree between various gods, beasts and men. But Ratatosk is naughty, delighting also in spreading gossip and rumors. Ratatosk.cn is still in its infacy, beta mode as geeks like to say, but constructive comments are welcome. We are looking for Scandinavian bloggers, writers and photographers to contribute to the site, please write to editor@ratatosk.cn if you are interested. Today, Ratatosk features an article about Beijing garage-punk band SUBS, and their tour of Scandinavia that kicks off this week. They will perform in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark before returning to Beijing in mid September: SUBS: beijing band tours Scandinavia this summer. Links and Sources

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
