Anyone Can Learn to Count in Chinese

Greetings, dear Radar fans. We know it’s been a while – winter holidays as well as planning for 2013’s JUE | Music + Art Festival have been keeping us busy and with less time to blog and refer to ourselves in the third person than we’d like. However, look for posts anew about what’s fresh in the China music scene from now on.

Kicking things off in 2013, Shanghai’s Death to Giants have accomplished something fairly extraordinary: the video for their new single “Anyone Can Learn to Count in Chinese” has managed to go viral (ish) on both YouTube and Youku. They are at 63,000 hits and counting on Youku, so a slot performing at the 2013 New Year’s Eve Gala is surely only a week away. Think of the video as a who’s who of the Shanghai music scene, or the visual counterpart to the lyrics of Pairs’ “A Surgeon at a Hospital in Shanghai Severed a Nerve in my Groin.”

Youtube below, Youku version under the cut.
