Xiu Xiu /ˈʃuːʃuː/ is an American experimental noise pop group originally from San Jose, California. The band is the brainchild of singer-songwriter Jamie Stewart, who has been its only constant member since its inception. As of 2009, his bandmate has been Angela Seo. The band's name is taken from the 1998 Chinese film Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl.
Jamie Stewart formed Xiu Xiu in 2002 after his previous band, Ten in the Swear Jar, disbanded. Stewart and Cory McCullough continued from the previous group, and were joined by Yvonne Chen and Lauren Andrews. The band's sound was characterized by its use of indigenous instruments and programmed drums in place of traditional rock instruments: harmonium, mandolin, brass bells, gongs, keyboards, and a cross between a guitarrón mexicano and a cello for bass. The band's name comes from the film Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl. In Stewart's description, the film's theme is that of no resolution—that awful things happen to the protagonist throughout the film and she dies at the end. The band found its first tracks to match the "rotten realness" spirit of the film, "that sometimes life turns out with a worst possible case scenario". Stewart said Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car", which Xiu Xiu covered on A Promise, had a similar theme. He later added that the band was a product of San Jose pirate radio stations that played house, hi-NRG, freestyle, and techno, which Stewart considered unpretentious, plain, heartbroken, clear, and based around dancing away sadness. He said he wrote his first Xiu Xiu song after leaving a San Jose dance club alone on a Christmas night: "Xiu Xiu came from feeling stupid and lonely and then wanting to dance it away, but having the club and its music only magnify that stupid and lonely feeling."
Polyvinyl Record Co. is an American independent record label based in Champaign, Illinois and San Francisco, California.
It has released notable records by of Montreal, Japandroids, Braid, Mates of State, American Football, Xiu Xiu, Deerhoof, and many others.
Polyvinyl Record Company was formed by Matt Lunsford and Darcie Knight in 1994, while the two were still in high school. Its origins were a result of the growing music scene in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, when Lunsford and Knight created a publication called the Polyvinyl Press. As the publication grew, the connections with independent, label-less artists grew, and the July 1995 issue of Polyvinyl Press included a joint 7" EP with Back of Dave and Walker. Lunsford and Knight then began to selling records at local shows for friends' bands which had virtually no distribution. To transition the Polyvinyl name from fanzine to label, the last issue of Polyvinyl Press (published in May 1996) included a compilation titled Direction – a 20-track album that documented the mid-‘90s midwestern D.I.Y. scene in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois.

Plot: Shanghai Strangers is about the dilemma of a young woman, Xiu Xiu, in post-Communist China, where the fast-growing material wealth and the spiritual void create a longing for a more authentic era when love was more difficult but also ultimately meaningful. A chance encounter, an unexpected discovery, a fateful afternoon, a song and a boat..., this film is my love haiku to Shanghai - a city where I was born and raised, an urban landscape that I most frequent in my dreams.

Plot: In China, the poor worker Tietou repairs tractors and misses his sweetheart Xiu Xiu, back in Japan, she having never sent any news to her family or him. While illegally emigrating to Japan, Tietou loses his Chinese documents and so cannot return to his country. He is welcomed by his countrymen who lodge and work in Shinjuku where they also help him to find illegal work. While running from a police raid through the sewage system where Chinese are illegally working, Tietou saves Inspector Kitano from drowning in the dirty water. Later, after an incident with his cousin, Joe, and a Taiwan gang, Tietou saves the powerful Yakuza boss Toshinari Eguchi. He is the husband of Xiu Xiu, who is now called Yuko and are parents of a little daughter. The mobster offers a dirty job to Tietou; in retribution, he promises to deliver the quarter dominated by the Taiwan gang to him. Tietou becomes the boss of the Chinese illegal immigrants. But his peaceful methods make him unpopular and Tietou starts to lose control over his men which escalates into a giant gang war.

ZZ Top’s “Sharp Dressed Man,” a track from the band’s 1983 album, Eliminator, has been covered to death. Brad Paisley has covered the song, Weird Al has parodied it, and even Nickelback once performed the song live. So when Xiu Xiu chose it for its Undercover, they knew they had to bring something new to the song, and that’s exactly what they did. The group brought some of its experimental flair to the track with a great drum accompaniment, breathing new life into the song. Xiu Xiu’s latest record, Forget, is out now on Polyvinyl Records.

女孩就好像天上的雨水一样纯洁无瑕,也只有天上的雨水才能衬托出她的美丽;当她被玷污后,就变成江河的水一样混浊,如何也洗不清她身上的污秽,而且她也只配用江河的浊水来清洗,越清洗越污浊。时代的悲剧造就个人的悲剧。 结局是全剧的重点,也是一个主题升华。秀秀的卖身并没有换取到回城的机会,在绝望的情况下,她想到了用自残的方式造成工伤来换取回城,但自己如何也下不去手,于是想让老金帮忙。但是,就在老金端起猎枪的一刹那,秀秀忽然醒悟到了自己无论如何也无法"洗净",更无法再去面对其他人。于是,她彻底绝望了,爱美的她最后一次整理好妆容,站好。原本爱她的老金此刻也明白了的她的心意。 最终秀秀死于老金的枪下。老金用雪把她埋葬在天坑中,象征秀秀虽然失去贞洁但仍"质本洁来还洁去",并最终殉葬,和秀秀并排死在一起

No one will eat him
A yellow raspberry
Perched on top of the thorn bush
Up high and ugly
Up high and weird
This minute 20 years ago
Your hair looked just as bad
Talking nonstop to a little rubber pixie
What has changed when you tell
Your doll hello?
More indignant, less recognizable
You became a bag lady's son
Beating off nonstop
To the escort pages
What has changed when you tell
The cross hello?
You left with some money
More self righteous, less hopeful
Up high and ugly up high and ZORP
This minute 20 seconds ago
Your face looks just as dumb
Singing nonsense to your voice mail
What has changed as you tell
Your cactus hello?
More fixated, less relief
You became a faggot
Dressed like a bunny
Beating off nonstop
To the escort pages
What has changed as you tell
