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.

Elskov

Oh, wow, look at this! I was supposed to be watching a video of Club 8 singing a song in a church, but I forgot what song it was, and I found this instead. It's Pelle Carlberg playing I Love You, You Imbecile onstage with Karolina and Johan from Club 8 in, of all places, Kuala Lumpur. It was the last song of their last show on the Asian tour in January of this year -- and what a way to end it.

The quality of the video (and sound) is terrible, although it's still worth playing at least once. The vocal harmonizing between Pelle and Karolina near the end is really pretty. And, with all due respect to Ida Maria (the original female vocalist), the studio version -- while endearing -- also sounds kind of snotty at times. It's nice to hear a different take, and this live version is sweet... sentimental... unconditional. Love.

There's another version (of the live performance) too. The official studio version with Ida Maria is here.
