Some days, all the trees are white - SotW [Week of 1-3-10]

So, today on the news there was this toddler who had a burned mouth because she was chewing on an ipod cord attached to a computer. Don't we teach our offspring to not put their fingers in electrical sockets, or perhaps to not chew on electrical cords? Ok, lo siento to the family, but really? This stuff makes the news? Followed by something like "food has calories!" and "lock your ipod cords up in a safe so your kid doesn't gnaw on it!" I'm not angry; just thoroughly entertained. I don't even have to turn on Jon Stewart! Anyway, listen to this song... put it on your ipod... but be sooo hella careful if you leave your cord hanging. You've been warned.

SotW 1/3:
Neighborhood #4 (7 Kettles) Arcade Fire



I am waitin' 'til I don't know when,
cause I'm sure it's gonna happen then.
Time keeps creepin' through the neighborhood,
killing old folks, wakin' up babies
just like we knew it would.

All the neighbors are startin' up a fire,
burning all the old folks the witches and the liars.
My eyes are covered by the hands of my unborn kids,
but my heart keeps watchin'
through the skin of my eyelids.

They say a watched pot won't ever boil,
well I closed my eyes and nothin' changed,
just some water getting hotter in the flames.

It's not a lover I want no more,
and it's not heaven I'm pining for,
but there's some spirit I used to know,
that's been drowned out by the radio.

They say a watched pot won't ever boil,
you can't raise a baby on motor oil,
just like a seed down in the soil
you gotta give it time.
