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.

Jeg er ikke godt med navner

I had kind of an unpleasant day yesterday, and that maybe kind of reflected on the show. Oh, well. There’s some good music anyway -- like I Think You Suck. I hadn’t heard that in ages.

Also, I think my Danish is (maybe?) getting better -- which is a good thing, as I have two midterms tomorrow: Danish and Danish films. 7-9-13…

Spillelisten:

1. Straight Thin Line – Frida Hyvönen (SV)
2. There’ll be a Time for Nice Guys – Esiotrot
3. Apologize – Billie the Vision & the Dancers (SV)
4. I Think You Suck – Psyched Up Janis (DK)
5. The Greatest – Cat Power
6. Black PearlDeath Valley Sleepers (DK)
7. Avec – Dazzle Ships (DK)
8. In the Lost and Found – Elliott Smith
9. Tropical-Iceland – the Fiery Furnaces
10. 747 – Kent (SV)
11. Violent Skull – Girls Love Rallie (DK)
12. Objects of My Affection – Peter Bjorn and John (SV)

If you wanted to hear the Tiger Baby remix of the Fashion’s song Like Knives -- that one song that I played like thirty seconds of before stopping -- you can download or listen to it here; there’s a link in the post immediately below this one. I guess this is a safe place to say why that omission happened -- even though I knew what they were saying, and it was perfectly clean and FCC-safe, it sounded awfully close, for someone who didn’t know, and I decided I’d rather not take the chance.

Of course, in the next song I very nearly missed a radio edit that I’d forgotten about. This is why my new project is to listen to every song in my iTunes library and mark it with either ‘clean’ or ‘not clean.’ (That way I’ll always be absolutely sure.) This should take only about three months...

Also also! Modern Age tomorrow -- featuring Per Se, the Janglies, Swimming, and the very aptly named Dhani the Champion of the World. Be there. It’s at 8.
