1909



Another youtube music video. This one I saw on youtube's frontpage a few days ago. The band is called Scrabbel and they have a strange funky sound. I'm a fan of anything that integrates strings into a non-classical setting.

In case you're wondering what the song is about it's about the assassination of Prime Minister of Japan/Resident-General of Korea at the Harbin train station on October 26, 1909. "An Jung-geun, a Korean independence activist, fired seven shots at him. Three of those shots hit Itō in the chest and he died shortly thereafter."
