Re: [microsound] microsound in Hong Kong?

[jon <seedling@xxxxxxxxxx>]

i remember asking the same questions a little while ago.  as far as i 
remember, there is a record store on the kowloon side (i think it's in 
mong kok) called zoo records, which is in a shopping mall down the 
bottom in some tiny space... probably the best records i managed to 
find in hong kong.  experimental music and post-rock fare as well... 
however, not much different to what you'd probably find back home.  
there's also another store in kowloon, the name of which i can't 
remember right now... it's pretty great and stocks a bunch of local 
experimental/interesting releases, as well as having the biggest 
stocked collection of muslimgauze i'd ever seen in one place.  as for 
bands, they tend to float past very sporadically (mostly expat business 
jerks putting on very sparse little shows)... i met some great kids who 
made cool stuff on their computers, but hey, who knows where the rest 
are?

good luck,
jon.
