Lin Jiaxiang

I read on the Internet about Lin Jiaxiang, the Communist Party official who allegedly molested a girl at the Plum Garden Restaurant in Shenzhen. They have video from the restaurant's security camera on YouTube. You don't see what happened, but you can see the girl leading him to show him where the restrooms were, and then moments later she can be seen running back to her parents.

Well, things like that always make me think of a song, so I whipped up Lin Jiaxiang's Lament under my other group project: The 3 Represents and posted a video on YouTube:



You know, I have no idea why I feel the need to compartmentalize my music. Musically, it sounds the same.

I used my Jay Turser semi-hollowbody on this. I was going to use the Guitar Port, but because I'm lazy (it's on another machine) I used the trusty POD 2.0.

It is becoming harder and harder for me to sing. The difference in just five years is amazing. Not that I had great vocal range before, but it is becoming a huge strain as I get older. The good news is, I was a lousy singer before, so being a lousy singer now isn't too disappointing.
