Still nursing that hangover? Take another swig of recovery beer and dry your cryin’ eyes, my friends–2010 looks is already looking bloated as hell, with a laundry list of various music, events, shows, and assorted craziness. We’re going to be covering some new events here, going in a different direction there… from the kitsch to the kinky, though, we’ll have it all, or as much as you think you can handle. As for what else we’ve done…we figure, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. 2009 turned out awesome for ChinaShop, so we wanted to take some time to a)thank you guys for reading and b) let you know that we’re just getting started.

We plan to keep covering up-and-coming bands (that rock), concerts, and just generally all the weird stuff we think you’d dig. We’re also gonna be looking more into comics, branching out into new kinds of music, and the latest in the gaming industry–only better. Coming up we’ll have our usual coverage on SXSW, Gala’s take on the latest in the world of fashion, Dustin Downing’s psychotic brand of photography, and some new stuff like The Black Dahlia Murder Tour, The Hollywood Erotic Museum, and it only gets weirder from there. Chances are, if it looks interesting enough, weird enough, perverse enough, funny enough– we’re gonna be there.

A big hail for all your comments and feedback — don’t know about you guys, we’ve been turned on to a lot of great different music just by taking a chance, and judging from your it sounds like a lot of you have as well.
