Meet Irena Sendler (1910-2008)

She was a 98 year-old Polish woman at her time of death. During World War II, Irena worked in the Warsaw Ghetto as a plumbing/sewer specialist. She dedicated herself to smuggle Jewish children out. Infants were carried in the bottom of the tool box she used and older children in a burlap sack she had in the back of her truck.

She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the kids’ and infants’ noises. Irena managed to smuggle out and save 2500 children during this time

She eventually was caught and the Nazis broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and in a glass jar buried under a tree in her backyard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived and reunited some of the families but most had been killed. She then helped those children get placement into foster family homes or adopted.

In 2007, Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize. She was not selected.

Al Gore won for presenting a slide show on Global Warming.

First love, Last love
Only love, it’s only love

First love, Last love
Only love, it’s only love

Do you miss home?
Do you miss home?
And are you cool?
Symmetrical?

Oh Oh Oh
Let’s get married
And tick the boxes
Oh lets get married
And tick the boxes

Do you wanna be alone?
Do you wanna be alone?
And are you cool?
Symmetrical,
Analytical
Hypocritical
So critical
Nothing’s perfect; I’m hoping I’ll do

Oh nothing’s perfect; I’m hoping I’ll do

My mistake
And no mistake
And I would take it back if I could
So stay with me tonight

I’ll make my bed, I’ll lie in it
Enticing with its leopard print
I’ll make my bed, I’ll lie in it
Enticing with its leopard print
And matching velvet duvet

First love, Last love
Only love, it’s only love

First love, Last love
Only love, it’s only love
It’s only love

Die Macher von Skype bringen den erfolgreichen digitalen Musikservice aus den USA nach Deutschland.

“Rdio (gesprochen: ar-die-oh), der weltweit agierende Online-Anbieter für Musik, ermöglicht ab heute auch in Deutschland die unlimitierte Nutzung seiner Datenbank mit über 12 Millionen Songs. Der digitale Musikservice kann unter www.rdio.com ab dem Launch sofort kostenfrei getestet werden. Der Erfolg von Rdio beruht im Wesentlichen auf drei Faktoren: Dem neuartigen und schnellen Entdecken von Musik auf nahezu jedem Endgerät, der kostengünstigen uneingeschränkten Nutzung von Musik on- und offline und nicht zuletzt dem sozialen Empfehlungssystem.”

Anders als bei youtube und co. kann man hier aber auch Musik der großen Labels hören. Natürlich sind auch Indielabels vertreten.

Und weil sich das alles so gut an hört, dass es gefeiert werden muss, gibt es natürlich gleich mehrere große Launchingparties mit guten Bands.

Tickets gewinnen könnt ihr hier.

Yearning, keep them burning, kepp them earning
Someones got to pay for all these televisions
There’s children singing, and church bells ringing,
and people skipping merrily to work and dreaming
and dreaming

For maybe, you’ll wind up crazy, and when you’re drinking
You may start thinking that you’re stupid and you’re lazy
Well just keep earning, keep on yearning,
and you will believe there are no gods and monsters
gods and monsters
