Music is a broad church. Nowhere more so than in Beijing. The capital has a longstanding musical history of its own but perhaps it has never been as interesting as the present. Beijing is a big deal. Local bands are making international headway, international acts are coming to Beijing ever more regularly and there is a live music scene that's more layered than ever. Our Cover Feature this month highlights some of the people for whom Beijing is the land of musical opportunity: the out-of-towners - both Chinese and foreign - who are making noise.
Elsewhere in the July issue of the Beijinger we've got an interview with the soulful lothario that is Usher Raymond IV, we've an interview with skating and videogame legend Tony Hawk and one with author Deborah Fallows. There's features on art from the DPRK, Da Dong doing more than duck and the Library Project's literacy drive. Add in all of the usual elements into the mix - the best new restaurants, bars and shops - plus our regular features and you've got yourself a copy of July's the Beijinger.
