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.

Jeg har ikke nogle begreb af tid

I seem to have fallen behind. Last Friday’s playlist here:

1. Gone Under Sea – Electrelane
2. Life is a Game – Rebecca Phinney
3. Fidelity – Regina Spektor
4. Tammy – Jens Lekman and El Perro del Mar (SV, SV)
5. Stop in the Name of Love – Bang Gang (IS)
6. Liar – Valerian (FL)
7. John, Let Me Go – Sondre Lerche (NW)
8. Du og Meg – of Montreal
9. You Can Make Him Like You – the Hold Steady
10. Surrender – Cheap Trick
11. ADHD – Jonas Game (SV)
12. Friends Now – Unicova
13. Dance With Me – Adam Green

I always become very excited when somebody asks me what I’m playing, or even better, asks how they might acquire a copy of it. This happened with Bang Gang’s cover of the Supremes' Stop in the Name of Love, a song I’ve loved since the first time I heard it. (I can do the dance, okay?) Actually, though, I find I prefer the Bang Gang version. The first Bang Gang review I read -- don’t remember where I found it or who the author was -- suggested that Stop in the Name of Love was a foolish and gratuitous inclusion on the album, Something Wrong. I don’t think so -- in fact, it’s one of my favorite songs. If you haven’t heard it yet, do yourself a favor and check the lovely thing out. It's on the From Nowhere myspace (that's the label), or you can listen here, on the podcast.

I have more things to say, but I’m supposed to be studying for a test (yeah, right) or going to bed early or something. Tomorrow, though: Modern Age updates, my precipitate (yes, it is a word; yes, it is used correctly -- look for the second adjectival definition) love of the Bear Quartet, and possibly even a bit of me talking bad about my place of business. Don’t get too upset, though. I still love it -- just not when I’m required to be there.
