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.

Uendelig uretfærdig

I am incredibly… annoyed isn’t the right word -- upset, maybe? Tonight, while Josh back home gets to see Frightened Rabbit, the Scottish band of our dreams, I have to spend the evening observing some rap duo -- from the United States, no less. If I must see a rap group, at least give me a Danish one.

To be honest, I am excited to be going to Vega (the venue). And I did come here for music. With luck, this evening's deal’ll wind up very much like nearly ever other show I’ve ever attended, and I’ll pay far more attention to the rest of the audience than to the band. Unfortunately, watching the crowd at a hip-hop show (and yes, I’ve oddly enough been to one or two before, so I know) is just not as exciting as watching the crowd at a rock show, nor as engrossing and as emotionally meaningful as watching the (swooning) crowd at a morose Scottish indie pop show. Maybe I’ll just pretend I’m somewhere else...

You can download Head Rolls Off, the first single from their most recent album, the Midnight Organ Fight, or stream pretty much everything Frightened Rabbit has ever released under the discography section of their label’s website. Where to start? Well, anyone who knows me should instantly recognize why I’m so attached to Old Old Fashioned; nonetheless, I won’t specifically recommend that, or any other track, because I actually recommend everything. Oh my god. If I got on a plane right now, I could make it back in time.
