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.

Programmet

Something (I think a firewall) is wrong with the KPSU server. I apologize if you tried to tune in via the web and were unable to. I also apologize for the fact that you won’t be able to download the podcast yet, either. I’ll let you know, though, as soon as that’s available.

In the meantime, here is the tantalizing playlist:

1. Almost Gold – the Jesus and Mary Chain
2. Baby Cool – Oliver North Boy Choir
3. Marine Thing – the Bridal Shop
4. Let’s – Kiss Me Deadly
5. Down the Line – José González
6. Absolutely, Salutely – Billie the Vision and the Dancers
7. I’d Rather Dance With You – Kings of Convenience
8. My Chemical Romance Saved My Life – Esiotrot
9. In the Park – Free Loan Investments
10. Over and Over – Heavenly
11. Sylvia Plath’s Platinum Summer – Saint Jude’s Infirmary
12. Age of Consent – New Order

I played a lot of “pretty” music, and bookended it with two older, edge-of-the-underground standbys that didn’t quite fit with the rest of the set. And then that My Chemical Romance reference -- good god. It was only my overwhelming love of Esiotrot that got me to even listen to the song in the first place. I actually don’t mind the few songs I’ve heard by My Chemical Romance -- but one of my previous roommates was in love with them; she had their stickers everywhere, it was like Christmas the day their new album came out, I think she even had a little My Chemical Romance sweater. Anyway, we didn’t really get along well, and that kind of ruined whatever tiny hope I may have had of ever really liking them. Oh well. Esiotrot is still super. I just kind of ignore the parts that I don’t agree with. Either that, or I sing them really loudly.

Uh, let’s see. I also tried to give away José González tickets -- he’s playing Portland 5. October -- but no takers. (Not, I think, because people don’t like José González -- but because the stream was down.) Again, oh well. I guess you will all have to come to the Modern Age instead. The 5. October lineup should (hopefully) be confirmed by this time next week. And it’s going to be good. No, super.
