He's also got some great covers of Cultural Revolution-Era 10" Records:

Sweet! Do you think they say things like "Use the Best -- Mao's Pie Filling!" or "Keep your brown shirts their brownest, with Xao's Laundry Soap"? I'd be interested to know if this stuff is hawking wares, or has a higher social meaning...Any chinese translators out there?

Aha! Drag your cursor over the Chinese characters on the Flicker page to read the translations as pop-ups (I only discovered that by accident, maybe Mr. Oldtasty can adjust the page to direct us to do that).

Guess who's a regular reader of Beware of the Blog? Nice little surprise to see my set of Cultural-Revolution-era stuff show up in my newsreader. I used to have a digital library of tracks from some of the records Barrett links to above, but sadly my department seems to have wiped the server, so I'll have to find a place elsewhere for them. The titles are classic:

* “The Radiance of Chairman Mao”
* “Chairman Mao is Dearer to Us Than Our Parents”
* “Youngsters Love Chairman Mao”
* “Education Should Be Revolutionized”
* “The Proletarian Revolution in Education Should Be Carried Out”
* “Always Study the ‘Three Constantly Read Articles’”
* “Red Youngsters Love Reading the ‘Three Constantly Read Articles’ Most”

Not to mention how hard the tracks rock...

Thanks to linking my stuff!

As a Chinese, i am certainly NOT impressed by this kind of art.
