Música do Dia ( na verdade dos últimos 3 dias )

The New Pornographers - The Laws Have Changed
Esta música é uma praga. Está rodando no meu winamp há 72 horas! A música é pop, pop, pop! Gruda que nem chiclete, é gostosa, com toques pixinianos, por sinal o CD "Electric Version" lembra um pouco o Surfer Rosa. Escute o álbum e tenha um ótimo dia.

A Matador que além de uma pusta gravadora é muito gente fina disponibiliza a música em MP3 e até mesmo o clip no site. Se você como eu ficou viciado na música e quer a letra ela segue abaixo com uma explicação mais adiante se você também não entendeu nada dela:
"It was crime at the time but the laws, we changed'em, though the hero for hire's forever the same one. Introducing for the first time, Pharaoh on the microphone. Sing all hail, what'll be revealed today when we peer into the great unknown, from the line to the throne? Awakened to cheers after years on the faultline, we are shocked to be here in the face of the meantime. Pharaoh, all your methods have taught me is to separate my blood from bone. It will all fail, feeling what I feel today, when we peer into the great unknown, from the line to the throne. Form a line through here, form a line to the throne. Alone in the chain, it remains to be seen how, how well you can play when the pawn takes a queen now. Introducing for the first time, Pharaoh on the microphone. Sing all hail, what'll be revealed today when we peer into the great unknown, from the line to the throne? Form a line through here, form a line to the throne. It was crime at the time but the laws have changed, yeah. "
I am going back to "The Laws Have Changed," because you are going to. Many times. It will become a problem. When I thought the song was about The King and I, I was already transported. When I realized it's a parable linking primogeniture of pharaohs and the collapse of democracy under the Bush dynasty, I got so happy I just about wrenched something. Let's quote: "It was crime at the time but the laws, we changed 'em/ though the hero for hire's forever the same one./ Introducing for the first time, Pharaoh on the microphone." This is the only good thing to happen this year featuring the plural word "laws."
