I. Al Di is a record executive for one of the world's biggest record labels. He works promoting Universal Records' artists in China. (Top seller? Rihannon.) He also hosts a web TV show out of Canada called ALDTV. He was not nearly as weird as the show makes him out to be, at least when I met him. He does have killer fashion sense. Watch him interview Hot Hot Heat (with a clip from a Stars interview -- "She said she wanted to meet you guys, so I told her if you want to meet Stars, you have to sleep with me")
II. Liu Kai works at the hippest record store in all of China's 3,705,405 square miles, Sugar Jar, which is in the inestimably cool 798 Art Zone. He introduced me to about 5 new Chinese post-rock bands and sold me 4 CDs of Chinese ambient, post-rock, sound collage, and traditional folk music. He is also a musician -- check out his guitar compositions here.
Coming soon: a trip to D-22.
