Snippets and Soundbites

• Do you love the crunk rock sound of Family Force 5? Not only can you dance to their song “Radiator,” but now you can watch the music video, too. The video debuted on MySpace yesterday. View it and leave your comments on this site. Some people say it reminds them of an 80s video. What do you think? And if you love the video and you want to see this group live, you might be interested in the Winter Wonder Slam tour with TobyMac, Relient K and B.Reith. Dates and information are found here.

• How about some more music? You might have heard a song on the radio by Bebo Norman called “Britney.” It’s an apology to Britney Spears “for the lies we told 
- we took you into our arms and then left you cold.” Bebo tells the story behind the song. He said he was watching the news one night and saw another story about Britney Spears. The picture of her looked like she was in despair and confused. Realizing she’s a child of God, he saw her as a real-life tragedy, a girl in need of love. You can read Bebo’s whole story here. Listen to the song as well as watch a video here.

• Thanksgiving is one week away, and a turkey dinner is probably going to be your family’s meal of choice. It’s been said that turkey has sleep-inducing effects. Maybe you’ve needed a nap after the Thanksgiving meal. According to this site, though, the truth is turkey only makes you sleepy if you eat it alone. You’ve probably never done that! There’s mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, apple pie … those are too tasty to pass up! If you do feel tired after the meal, it’s probably because you ate too much. 

• Speaking of Thanksgiving, next week we won’t be posting a Snippets blog because we’ll be taking the day off to hang out with our families. We hope you will tell your family how much you love them and thank God for all the blessings in your life. That’s what we’ll be doing!
