2009 Dec 23 Infected Mushroom write Chinese School Essays and Win tickets to the Show!
If you’ve been living in the trance sphere, there’s no need to describe the brilliance of Erez Aizen and Amit “Duvdev” Duvedevani, or better known as Infected Mushroom (http://www.myspace.com/infectedmushroomcentral). After their last Beijing show in May, the Israeli producers, DJs or even rock stars - whatever you prefer to call them - are back in town on Christmas Eve.
Currently living in Los Angeles, these electronic inventors released their ninth album Legend of the Black Shawarma this year. The duo has expanded their team into a five-man band and will perform their full live set at the upcoming Beijing show – for once, we are lucky to be Bejingers!

Infected Mushroom write Chinese School Essays
They might be brilliant DJ and producers, but we’d like to challenge them on writing Chinese elementary school essays (designed for children age 7-12), you know, to feel good about ourselves.
We’ve been through it, so take that mushrooms!
TITLE 1: I’ve got rid of the bad habits. (我改掉了坏习惯)
Erez: I got rid of the habit of keeping my hair tame…
Duvdev: I was a 2 pack per day smoker – so yes, that nonsense is over and done with – thanks goodness…
TITLE 2: I’ve always wanted to be a … (我的理想)
Erez: Zookeeper.
Duvdev: Comedian – because I’m funny looking, not because I’m funny!
TITLE 3: An Unforgettable Day(s) (难忘的一天)
Erez: The days my children were born (that’s why the ‘s’ was added after ‘Day’).
Duvdev: The day my child was born.
TITLE 4: Thoughts After Reading a Book (……读后感)
Infected Mushroom choose The Mall Directory
Erez: Which way to the tech store?
Duvdev: How do I find the food court?
TITLE 5: Thoughts After Watching a Movie (……观后感)
Infected Mushroom choose The Lord of the Rings
Erez: If Frodo had an iPhone, he could just use Navigation to Mordor…simple.
Duvdev: If we dye Erez’s hair blonde, he would look like an Elf…
TITLE 6: What’s this picture about? (看图说话)
Infected Mushroom: This picture clearly shows the village drunk leaving the bar with a broom handle to protect himself from the local children who hide just behind the door waiting to ambush him.
