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.

Hunden af havet

(So now you know how to say El Perro del Mar in three different languages!) Anyway, her new 7” came out today. Remember? -- How Did We Forget. The B-side is You Hit Me (It’s a Crying Shame), which I haven’t heard, but the title sounds good, and, of course, the A-side is excellent. (Read a bit more of what I’ve written about it here.)

Anyway, here I am in Oregon, stuck until mid-June at the very earliest, and all the records are hiding halfway across the world. So, if anyone is in the proximity of any “good record stores throughout Scandinavia” (as Licking Fingers says) you should buy me a copy and send it over. Really. I think I want this record more than any other one right now. And I’ll totally reimburse you.

For those of you who are more patient, less particular, or perhaps just more conveniently situated than I, both songs can be bought, as mp3s, through the Licking Fingers website. From the Valley to the Stars, the album proper, will be released 27 February, and will reach the US about two months later -- 22 April. Three media -- mp3, CD, and vinyl -- and you can bet I will be wanting one of those, of the last sort, as well...
