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.

Ingenting. Nå...

I surreptitiously put up the download link Friday night without mentioning the show or even putting up the playlist. Anyway, for those who don’t know, Friday’s show was my weird sort of celebration of the end of summer and I played exclusively remixes. Apparently I started a little early, because the beginning is cut off. That’s okay, though, I guess. I think it sounded pretty good. Well, maybe the segues weren’t always the most brilliant (some of them were okay), but all the songs sounded nice by themselves. Anyway.

Min spilleliste:

1. Destroy Rock & Roll (Tom Neville remix) – Mylo
2. Broken Drum (Boards of Canada remix) – Beck
3. Fallen Snow (The Teenagers remix) – Au Revoir Simone
4. Adrenaline (Darkboy/TAT200 remix) – Oliver North Boy Choir
5. Someone’s Girlfriend (Casper Henning Hansen remix) – Evil Death Machine
6. Monster Hospital (MSTRKRFT remix) – Metric
7. Just Can’t Get Enough (Tiger Baby remix) – CPH-Jet
8. Tell No One About Tonight (Mont Ventoux remix) – Le Sport
9. At Least I’m Honest (Zvook Mescalin remix) – Tiger Baby
10. Too Young (The Tough Alliance remix) – Taken By Trees

Lots of Scandinavian artists, because those Scandinavians seem to remix each other constantly. Not that this is a bad thing. On the contrary.

Today I am back to school again. In a few hours I shall have my first Danish lesson in several months. Meget godt. Håber jeg.

And some news, very briefly -- the new Oliver North Boy Choir video, for their latest single, Baby Cool, is online now. Aside from isolated parts, it took me a while to figure out -- it is backwards (which would explain why Camilla’s walking looks slightly funny), and it is awesome. She sings backwards, too, which is just… wow.

It’s a Trap! reports that Melody Club has just released an album in the US. My god. I haven’t listened to Melody Club forever. That's going to change. The album, which has actually been for about a month, is called At Your Service, and is a combined best-of from their two previous, non-US, albums.

I also had a dream that Hello Saferide played a show in Seattle. There is still time -- like a little stop on her way back from Brazil. Or something. I still can’t believe she picked Brazil over Portland. Or, I guess more accurately, Brazil over me.
