om sproget / on language

Jeg vil skrive bloggen på både engelsk og dansk. Hvis du kan ikke forstå ordene, fortæl mig, og jeg vil forsøge at oversætte. Hvis du er dansk, vil jeg gerne fortælle dig, jeg endnu er ved at lære sproget, og mit dansk er ikke særlig godt. Hvis du gerne vil hjælpe mig med ordene, det er rart og tak for det. Min email er somedayashtrays@gmail.com.

This blog will be written in both English and Danish. If you, as a reader, have trouble with one of those languages and would like a translation, please let me know, and I will do my best to oblige. If you are a Danish reader, please know that I am just learning, and my Danish is far from perfect. If you would like to suggest corrections please do so. Email me at somedayashtrays@gmail.com.

Forskellige versioner

I’ve been meaning to mention this forever but keep forgetting (although, now, it’s probably better that I’ve forgotten, because now you can go all at once instead of going back over and over (although there’s certainly nothing wrong with revisiting quality websites)). Anyway, getting to the point -- over the last week, Speaker Bite Me has put up eight nice remixes of their songs, all of which you may download. (Right here.) My favorite is SuperTroels' remix of Teach Me Tiger, which is, for lack of a better word, super. Also kind of interesting is the Marybell Katastrophy version of War is Over.

Of course, for those who’ve never heard Speaker Bite Me before, please keep in mind -- they can be a little... weird. If you don’t like the song(s) at first listen, instead of deleting them from your library, you ought to listen to them, say, three or four more times. At least. Because I hated Teach Me Tiger (my first exposure to Speaker Bite Me) initially, but the more I heard it, the more I came to love the song. The remix took me even longer, and I’m still not fond of the entirely a cappella first minute or so, but as for the rest -- wonderful.

Even better than eight free remixes (plus original versions of Teach Me Tiger and Belle de Boskoop), you can download a separated version of "Whataboutyou" to remix yourself. Also, for all you remixers of pop songs, Blonde Redhead likewise encourages you to remix their song Signs Along the Path. You can also listen to what other people have done with it. And if you create a remix -- of either song -- tell me. I’d love to hear.
