Local music label Silent Agreement (默契音樂), which over the past three years has distributed a solid collection of down tempo and electronica bands from England, Hong Kong and Taiwan, is organizing a two-day music festival that will take place on May 28 and May 29.
The Grass Fest's lineup will consist of some prominent local acts but organizers are also taking submissions until May 15 from bands and DJs to play the remaining half dozen or so open slots. Submissions can be completed over the Internet at www.grassfest.net, or hard-copy applications can be picked up at MoRelax Cafe, located in the Shida area at 20, Ln 60, Taishun St, Taipei (台北市泰順街60巷20號) and sent in by mail. Applications are also being accepted now for those wishing to operate a stall at the festival.
Some of the local bands that have been confirmed to play the festival include 1976, LTK and Soda Green.

To fit the more chilled-out atmosphere of the festival, LTK plans to play an acoustic set. Silent Agreement will also bring in two bands released by the label from Hong Kong called The Marshmallow Kisses and My Little Airport. Both share a distinctive retro-style of keyboards, cheery melodies and wilting voices singing quirky lyrics.
The show will be held on the campus of National Taiwan Normal University's branch campus between Gongguan and Jingmei.
Last week, Viola Zhou published a marvelous deep dive into the culture clash between Taiwanese boss mentality and American labor practices at the Taiwan Semiconductor (TSMC) plant in Arizona in Rest of World. “The American engineers complained of rigid, counterproductive hierarchies at the company,” while the Taiwanese said American workers aren’t dedicated. The article is a delight, but what it is depicting is the clash between a work culture that offers employee autonomy and at least nods at work-life balance, and one that runs on hierarchical discipline enforced by chickenshit. And it runs on chickenshit because chickenshit is a cultural
By far the most jarring of the new appointments for the incoming administration is that of Tseng Wen-tsan (鄭文燦) to head the Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF). That is a huge demotion for one of the most powerful figures in the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). Tseng has one of the most impressive resumes in the party. He was very active during the Wild Lily Movement and his generation is now the one taking power. He has served in many of the requisite government, party and elected positions to build out a solid political profile. Elected as mayor of Taoyuan as part of the
April 29 to May 5 One month before the Taipei-Keelung New Road (北基新路) was set to open, the news that US general Douglas MacArthur had died, reached Taiwan. The military leader saw Taiwan as an “unsinkable aircraft carrier” that was of huge strategic value to the US. He’d been a proponent of keeping it out of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) hands. Coupled with the fact that the US had funded more than 50 percent of the road’s construction costs, the authorities at the last minute renamed it the MacArthur Thruway (麥帥公路) for his “great contributions to the free world and deep
Moritz Mieg, 22, lay face down in the rubble, the ground shaking violently beneath him. Boulders crashed down around him, some stones hitting his back. “I just hoped that it would be one big hit and over, because I did not want to be hit nearly to death and then have to slowly die,” the student from Germany tells Taipei Times. MORNING WALK Early on April 3, Mieg set out on a scenic hike through Taroko Gorge in Hualien County (花蓮). It was a fine day for it. Little did he know that the complex intersection of tectonic plates Taiwan sits
