Fredag

Anyone who’s already heard Friday’s show may have noticed it was a bit… odd. To make a long story short, add some stupid actions on my part together with the slight inconvenience of a surprise pre-record going on prior to and during my show and you’ll be met, logically, with a bit of confusion.

I was going to play a bunch of KPSU cds, but as they were rather inaccessible, I wound up playing mostly stuff from silly myspace, as well as several of the mp3s available via Hits in the Car. I’m kind of annoyed because in my haste not to have dead air, I wound up playing a couple of things I would have much rather played in a more organized fashion… So I’m going to pretend that Friday’s wasn’t a real show. I think I was already pretending that as I broadcast it.

Many of the songs played yesterday will probably be played again on shows over the next few weeks. But if you really want to listen to the horrible segues and me shouting (in a voice where it’s really obvious that I have a bad cold) to be heard over the band playing so loudly next door that even they were wearing earplugs, well, it’s right here.

Spillelisten, også:

1. You Don’t Dance – Lupus (DK)
2. Great Expectations – The Ballet
3. Emily Scott – Esiotrot

7. Tynd Is – Spion (DK)
8. Roscoe – Midlake
9. Artboy Meets Artgirl – moi Caprice (DK)
10. Her Voice is Beyond Her Years – Mew (DK)
11. Due to exasperation, encouragement by others present, and the fact that it’s just a great album, I ended the show by playing Neutral Milk Hotel’s album In the Aeroplane Over the Sea all the way through. About the first half of it -- 20 minutes or so -- should be included in the podcast.

Also -- The Modern Age last night was pretty sweet. A bunch of kids that I used to go to school with -- at two different places! -- showed up. (Plus this other kid who I probably creeped out by staring at a lot, because from the side, he looked just like a boy I used to know...) That was neat, too.

And finally -- this is important -- next Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, I will be out of town. DJ Frresh, who does the show before me, will be covering my show. Unless he suddenly gets into Snook (Swedish hip-hop), don’t expect a lot of Scandinavian stuff. I’ll be back on the 30th, though.
