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.

Nye koncerter

(I cannot remember -- should there be an e after the ny, because koncerter is plural? I'm getting confused with my Latin.)

Now that MusicFest NW is over, I don’t really feel like talking about those three bands that I picked to “preview” from its lineup… But I do hope that anyone living in the Portland area managed to enjoy at least one show this weekend.

Also, I’d like to announce, for anyone living in the Pendleton area, a show one of my frengers is putting on this weekend: Blitzen Trapper, At Dusk (both from Portland) and James Dean Kindle will play Saturday, 15 September at 8.30 at the Arts Center. It’s all ages, cover is 5 bucks, and the show should be great. (As a measure, Blitzen Trapper embarks on a nationwide tour with Two Gallants two days later.) A nice way to recover from Round-Up, too, if you know what I mean.

Back to Portland -- on next week’s show, I may be giving out a pair of tickets to the upcoming José González… he’ll be playing at the Aladdin (all ages) in Portland 5 October. However, it is still a big maybe. I despise telephones and therefore don’t really like people calling during my show -- that, and I’ve never actually listened to José González, despite his good reviews and Swedishness. If, though, I manage to re-learn the ticket-giving-out procedure -- and there are still tickets left to give, which I think there probably will be -- anyone in PDX who wants to save 20 (well, actually 40; you get two) bucks on tickets should tune in. Friday, 3-4 pm, KPSU.

Last.fm is not working properly, so you may have to wait a while for these, but if you’re so inclined, there is a downloadable -- and live -- version of José González’s Teardrop there. You can also stream full albums by both Blitzen Trapper and At Dusk, with some free downloads there, too.
