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.

Og put mig...

Well, it’s mid-December again and year-end lists are popping up everywhere -- online and off. My favorite: the It’s A Trap! staff picks, in which contributor Simon Tagestam calls Jens Lekman “the King of Sweden.” It seems like anywhere at all music-related you go these days, such lists pop up, and it’s nice to see Jens -- as well as the occasional other Scandinavian act -- finding places on so many of them. My own favorites of 2007 list is well in the works and will be up here soon for your perusal and evaluation -- although probably not until after Christmas. Sorry.

In other news, Air France (who have the only EP to appear on my forthcoming top 10 list) have a new single out, called Hold On To Me, Baby. I’ve been trying to get my head around it since yesterday and I still haven’t quite. The more I listen to it, though, the more I like it, and I remember well that this is precisely the way I felt about the last Air France single, which I very much love now. Hold On To Me, Baby is good Caribbean-tinged pop in the vein of Air France’s other stuff, although it also has a nice tinge of ice-and-snow to it.

That seems like a weird sort of ending, but I don't know what else to say. Visit Air France's label, the fantastic Sincerely Yours, here, to see what they wrote about the song.
