oh halloween... charms of the witching hour

ps when the world is wrapped in slumber and the moon is sailing high, if you peep between the curtains, you'll see witches riding by.
ps ps the skeleton was resting on my porch ready to greet you and the cupcake was made by me, creepingelm!
ps ps ps i ,creepingelm, turned graveyard girl for the evening.... you can't get me gravediggers. no way...
hmmm... maybe i should have been batgirl. i look bat-like in these clicks. hehehee
ps ps ps ps my adoration for edward scissorhands brought me to finding the #1 costume of the evening... found him!

reality is for people who lack imagination

the dodos - black night (2011)

ps the dodos new album, no color, out on march 15th

fleet foxes - helplessness blues

ps self-titled debut with helplessness blues, due out on may 3rd
ps ps i don't know who to believe. i'll get back to you someday, soon you will see.... i'm tongue tied and dizzy

i was raised up believing
i was somehow unique
like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes
unique in each way you can see

and now after some thinking
i'd say I'd rather be
a functioning cog in some great machinery
serving something beyond me

but I don't, I don't know what that will be
i'll get back to you someday soon you will see

what's my name, what's my station
oh just tell me what I should do
i don't need to be kind to the armies of night
that would do such injustice to you

or bow down and be grateful
and say "Sure take all that you see"
to the men who move only in dimly-lit halls
and determine my future for me

and I don't, I don't know who to believe
i'll get back to you someday soon you will see

if I know only one thing
it's that every thing that I see
of the world outside is so inconceivable
often I barely can speak

yeah I'm tongue tied and dizzy
and I can't keep it to myself
what good is it to sing helplessness blues?
why should I wait for anyone else?

and I know, I know you will keep me on the shelf
i'll come back to you someday soon myself

if I had an orchard
i'd work till I'm raw
if i had an orchard
i'd work till I'm sore

and you would wait tables
and soon run the store

gold hair in the sunlight
my light in the dawn
if I had an orchard
i'd work till I'm sore

if I had an orchard
i'd work till I'm sore

someday I'll be
like the man on the screen
