It seems that the whole thing has been horribly mismanaged - a mega brand trying to “buy” the love of a segment of their market without trying to understand it first. This backs up what we’ve heard/ read/ seen elsewhere, and hopefully we will get more first hand information on that in a day or two.
看起来整个活动处于一种无序的管理状态-一个国际品牌想要去“采购”消费者的喜爱而并不去了解他们的需求。在此谨摘录下我们所听见、读到、看见的事实，希望能在近期得到第一手信息更新。
Way back in, err, April 3rd, Shanghaiist blogged about the upcoming show on TV which would invite all independent and underground bands to compete.
在此前，4月3日，shanghaiist在博客记录了即将开始的电视乐队比赛。它将邀请所有地下独立乐队参与竞争。
Well, the first 'battle' and filming took place this week and was a predictable fiasco. In fact, it was so completely balls in every way that prominent scene figures are making official statements and debates are raging in various threads around Douban.
话说，本周举行了第一次的乐队比赛和录影，结果一团糟。事实上，任何角度来说这次活动都是非常糟糕的，最明显的反应就是在豆瓣上，好多乐队都发表了正式声明以各种渠道抵制此次活动。
The basic gist is this. SMG (TV company) don't have a fucking clue. Bands turned up to see that no equipment had been provided at all. People were expected to plug cables into the PA board directly, a bad one at that and bands were told not to bother sound checking. The judges were SMG regular presenters with no music knowledge who made ignorant comments all night long, angering the experienced bands. Finally it came out that SMG had guanxi-siphoned the sponsorship money away too.
最基本的一点，SMG看起来完全对乐队演出没有TMD一点概念。乐队成员发现台上没有任何设备。他们被告知将乐器直接连接调音台进PA，甚至都免了试音环节。评委是SMG一些完全没有音乐修为，整晚胡说八道的主持人，这也惹怒了乐队们。最后人们发现百事赞助费的大部分都被私分了。
There's too much stuff to link and it's all in Chinese. The main statements are from YYT's Zhang Haisheng and The Mushroom's singer Pupu. The gist is that they weren't expecting much but the whole thing was just downright offensive and they will be boycotting the show from now on. I leave you with Pupu's Douban announcement:
好多资料都谈到了这个事情，但全是中文的。具代表性的是育音堂张老师和蘑菇团主唱扑扑。他们对(演出设备、场地)并未有太高的期待但遇到的事实实在是让他们失望透顶。所以他们决定从此抵制此项比赛。下面转贴扑扑在豆瓣上的声明。
