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.

For ung, for snart

For whatever reason, I try to ignore Pitchfork as much as I can. (Go ahead and hate me.) However, this morning, It’s A Trap! reported that Pitchfork had interviewed the Tough Alliance. So I had to go and read it. Although I don’t actually listen to them very much, I have enormous appreciation for TTA -- and this interview only validated it. It’s unmissable.

Also on It’s A Trap! this morning, the news that El Perro del Mar, along with Lykke Li and Anna Ternheim (who, a couple years ago, recorded that beautiful cover of Broder Daniel’s Shoreline), will play in Portland, at the Doug Fir, on 16. May. Happy as I was to see that she’d return to the US, I was also disappointed. This is too soon. This is exactly three weeks before my essential birthday. When El Perro del Mar played Portland last March, I heard third-hand that her show was awesome, which is probably about what I’ll get this time, too. Thank you, thank you, OLCC, for all the happiness you bring to my life.
