Last week was a total mess! I lost my Linux server by a corrupted hard drive and my stupid moves having tried to fix it. I had to build it from scrach all over again, some of my stuffs that haven't been backed up timely were gone with the dead drive too. It took me a week to bring everything back to normal. Realizing how my life depending on it, I am seriously considering a more fool proof backup solution. Yeah, I am a dork.
Listened to Lao Cui's new album. He's changing his music once again, I admire his courage to let go of previous success, go against taste of crowd, and always try something new. Many new songs are more melody oriented like many of his old old songs, in the mean time, he's mixing elements including hiphop, electronic, Chinese traditional music and dialect. He's trying hard to do something new, sometimes putting too much stuffs in a piece, making it a chaos. To me it is good to listen to but not an album I expected after 7 long year waiting. I can't have the same kind of "butterfly on my stomach" feeling when I heard him the very first time anymore. Maybe I never will. Yesterday was the 11th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's alleged suicide. No other band can touch me like Kurt did, not even in 11 long years. Independent new music had died when Nirvana got signed by a big label, now only the shallowness of the corperate music has left. Time is an all mighty killing machine eroding the last bit of my teen spirit away relentlessly. I don't know if I am really getting old now.
Meanwhile I am working on writing and recording a new song for a local DV project. Just finished first round recording tonight, but loads of polishing up left to do. Spring finally came despite a few rainy days every now and then. I am going to enjoy the beautiful California sunshine for the next 6 months alright. Stay tuned.
