    He’s supposed to be big on Wagner but there hasn’t been a hint of that in the show... we’re at home hanging with the pups - for me life’s the same, hanging at home with zero social contact, the only new addition being the obsessive handwashing.

    For them filmmakers and designers, playing in the room William Morris himself had designed meant a great deal – and the audience who didn't know anything what New Pants were wild at the end. Can't find the final tune 我们的时代 on YouTube anymore, sadly.

    One of my proudest moments was unleashing them on unsuspecting audiences at the back in 2008 – they were supposed to play in the garden but it rained so we had to moved the gig to the lecture hall in the last minute, literally rocking the place.

    And now they're finally found fame enough to do a stadium tour around China – 20 odd years after they first formed the band. They sold out the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Shanghai in a minute apparently – where Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Bob Dylan and Queen have played.

    You'll only discover the joy of New Pants if you know what they're singing about – and when you're crying your eyes out in a mosh pit with thousands of Chinese boys and girls who are also feeling as deeply because they're singing your deepest secrets.

    What makes a band truly great is when they connect with their audience with the shared discovery and *loss* of joys, hopes, loves, dreams – that bond will live with you for life – for you are kindred spirits walking together down similar rugged paths.

    They don't only blend decades of Chinese pop music, they also drew from the whole history of modern rock, making a sound that is distinctly their own. A non-white non-Euro-American band doesn't have to sound "ethnic" to be good.

    An article has been circulating my feeds claiming that China hasn't got a decent band. Clearly the writer hasn't listened to very many Chinese bands because New Pants 新裤子 can rival the biggest and also the edgiest bands in Europe or US.

    We laughed, we cried, we sang along, so glad we got to see this on the big screen in China. Lucky like those who get to see the Lake of Heavens in the opening title. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    In this Contest of Mount Hua, Western Venom is the clear winner. Sorry, Old Heretic, nothing personal, just that I’m old school with ales. 🐍

    I've been trying to see as many of the places in Condor Heroes since I started working on it. Yesterday, I went to the site of Jin Yong's family home in Haining. The original complex (of 90 plus rooms!) was gone – the house standing today was built in 1998.
