Somehow I think it's appropriate that 808 State should be my musical interlude for today - August 8th 2008...08/08/08.
So here's Pacific State, a timeless house tune from 1989, that still sounds fantastic today (and reminds me of some great clubbing memories back then)!
The date 08/08/08 is considered so lucky to the Chinese that officials opened the Beijing Olympics today at exactly 8:08 pm, China Standard Time. In Chinese culture, the number eight (八; accounting 捌; pinyin bā) is considered a lucky number, because it sounds like the word "prosper" or "wealth" (发; Pinyin: fā). No wonder state media reported that 16,400 couples registered for marriage certificates in Beijing today, almost four times as many as on the same date last year.
