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.

Første på AM

So tonight I had my first city-wide show (broadcasting on KPSU’s 1450 AM). Other than announcing completely the wrong album name for my Mew song and the probable butchering of Johan Agebjörn’s last name, I think the show went pretty well. Of course, it wasn’t perfect -- but there were no major blunders.

If you missed tuning in -- or are outside of the coverage area -- you can also listen to the podcast. It will download as being called ‘Songs the Lord Taught Us’ with host Miss Meghan -- however, rest assured, it is me. The show is still called Ashtrays, and I am still called Sara. Those are just the previous DJ’s IDs, which have not been adjusted yet. Hopefully that will be done by next week. And keep in mind that I will still be doing the Friday show, too -- at least for a while.

I was especially proud of the playlist -- all Scandinavian. I’d like to keep this evening edition of the show more Scan-oriented… which will mean that, in the coming weeks, I’m going to need a lot more music. If you’re a Danish, Swedish, Norwegian band/musician -- just, if you’re from any of the Nordic countries, or even if you’re not, but make music that sounds good -- and you’d like to have it played on the show, feel free to send me your stuff (if you want a physical address for mail, email me and I’ll let you know what it is) or at least alert me to what you’re doing. I like hearing new music. Always.

Nu, spillelisten:
1. Mica – Mew (DK)
2. The Air We Breathe – Figurines (DK)
3. Soundwaves – Attention Now! (NW)
4. Palads – Under Byen (DK)
5. Chans – Kent (SV)
6. Enola Gay – Oliver North Boy Choir/Pierre (DK)
7. You Don’t Dance – Lupus (DK)
8. Take Me Home (Johan Agebjörn remix featuring Sally Shapiro) – Don Juan Dracula (SV, SV, NW)
9. That Town – Sambassadeur (SV)
10. Aly, Walk With Me – the Raveonettes (DK)
11. Sweet End – Death Valley Sleepers (DK)
12. Bosphorus BridgeTiger Baby (DK)
13. Chinese Fairytale – Tiger Baby (DK)
14. Tonight the Walls are Closing – David & the Citizens (SV)

The individual song to download today is Enola Gay, which I think I’ve had up before. If you so desire, you can find other tracks for download both here and on other nice sites around the web.

Hi, thanx for playing that song of mine.I've noticed that everyone refer to it as "Tonight the Walls Are Closing" when the full title should be "Tonight The Walls are Closing In On You". The last part of the title fell of when the EP was posted, I guess...

Anyways - thanx and keep up the blogging!
