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.

Bedre end fint

Yeah, uh, Friday was pretty awesome.

From the radio show, min spilleliste:

1. Dance With Me – Adam Green
2. Never Let You Go – Bertine Zetlitz (NW)
3. En Helt Ny Karriär – Kent (SV)
4. It’s the End of the World as We Know It – R.E.M.
5. Eurosport Music Baby! – Le Sport (SV)
6. Tekno Love Song – CocoRosie
7. Let Me Put It This Way – David & the Citizens (SV)
8. Ashes to Ashes – David Bowie
9. Sophia – epo-555 (DK)
10. Lookin’ for a Love – Idlewild
11. Teardrop – José González (SV)
12. Hip – Marybell Katastrophy (DK)

Kind of a… weird show (in some respects) but I liked it. Next Friday (21.) I’ll be playing Christmas songs, by which I mean not the traditional carol stuff but rather lovely indie-pop songs, which mention or in some way deal with the whole holiday thing. For example, Tiger Baby’s This Christmas, perhaps the first festive song I didn’t hate. (Maybe because, like all good Christmas songs ought to be, it’s rather depressing.) More on that later.

The Friday after (28.) I’m doing a best of 2007 thing -- one song each from my ten favorite albums (which I’ve not decided yet), as well as a few exceptional single tracks without which the aural year would be sadly lacking. Did that sentence make sense to you? I hope it did. Anyway, I’m quite looking forward to this show.

Also -- we are, sadly, not having a Modern Age on the 28., due to probable closure of the building our venue is in over the holiday break. The next show will be 11. January. Details soon.

And last week’s show -- oh my god. We’ve had bigger turnouts, but as far as intensity of involvement and the audience being into the show, I think Friday takes the cake. All four acts were great, and, uh, Ross was pretty phenomenal. As well as any number of other flattering adjectives. One of the best live performances I’ve ever seen. Really.
