3/5 Not bad but very generic

Shining - Winterreise Song actually lasts till about the 4 minute mark before they dive into an improv, it's funny to see the crowd's awkward reaction though lol.

I read the news this morning.
What I don't understand is... what does this have to do with the guy being chinese?
don't tell me ALL the locals respect the traffic rules (and that NO ONE is ever caught for drunk driving).
This could very well have been a local driving the ferrari.
It's not like it happens every day, this is an isolated incident -- I mean, accidents happen every day, but you don't see chinese-guys-driving-ferraris-killing-others-because-drunkdriving etc every day.

So why blame the chinese?


Several local Singaporeans have some sort of extreme hatred towards foreigners, especially PRC Chinese. The stereotypical view of the PRC Chinese is that they are uncouth, despicable and rude. Of course, it's sort of similar to the Americans that hate Mexicans and these people are generally extremists and conspiracy theorists. The problem is with the government's policy on mass importation of foreign talent, coupled with a lack of minimum wage it's supposedly causing many Singaporeans jobs (this is based on anecdotal evidence, official figures show our unemployment to be quite low). This causes hatred towards foreigners en masse,

The thing is, most of these xenophobic Singaporeans get their news of atrocities committed by some foreigners off of the internet as there is some sort of 'media cover up' and developed hatred for them. You could draw some parallels between them and Alex Jones' followers on infowars. I would say their hatred could also be further fueled by the local government, which is deemed authoritarian or fascist by many.

2/5 I don't think they are as horrendous as many people make them out to be (Just very cookie cutter). Chad Kroeger has an annoying voice though.

Storm Corrosion - Drag Ropes Just something more twisted and unique

2/5 It's OK, but the backing bass is irritating and doesn't really fit well into the song.
