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.

This week, in addition to the podcast, you can download Nosy Parker, from the Tremolo Beer Gut’s new album Nous Sommes The Tremolo Beer Gut, Qui le Fuck Êtes Vous? (It’s definitely not Danish, and it’s not Latin either; I’m guessing French. I’m also guessing that you can all probably figure out what it means.) I got this in the mail a while ago; it was described by their press person as ‘old-school surf & western’ -- a genre I don’t know enough about to say whether that description’s accurate. But in this song, at least, they sound like a cross between older songs by the Raveonettes (think glorious Bb minor), the instrumental tracks on Tapes ‘n Tapes’ first LP, and something else I’ve forgotten… Anyway, it’s a bit of a departure from what I usually listen to and put up on here, but I don’t see that that’s a bad thing -- and, if it were ever sunny and I were in a real happy mood, I can see myself quite liking these guys.

Also -- I have a massive amount of things to do in the immediate future -- school, work and otherwise -- so unless anything huge happens, don’t expect to see anything new on the blog until at least Wednesday. I also won’t be returning emails for a while. Sorry.
