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.

Skal vi sige… besked?

So, a couple of things. Aside from the three long Roskilde posts yesterday (which should have been more than enough to satiate everybody) I haven’t really done much here lately.

Let me explain. When I got back from Denmark, I didn’t live anywhere. That’s a problem. Happily, I’ve now moved into a new apartment. However, the new apartment is not equipped with internet -- and it’s not likely to be for probably at least another month or so, if even then. That’s also a problem. Since I’m not one of those lucky people who does their mp3 blog stuff while at work -- problem -- and I’m currently faced with a 45-minute walk and then a wait in line at the school computer labs every time I need to go online -- problem -- I think it’s kind of a given that there won’t be as much activity (at least from my end) on here for a while. I’ll try my hardest, but do expect posts to be fewer and further between.

A more pleasant (I guess?) thing -- there’ve been two more radio shows since my return that I’ve failed to mention on here. The missing playlists:

16. juli (onsdag):

1. Vessel in Vain – Smog
2. Mondays are Like Tuesdays – Acid House Kings (SV)
3. Better Days – Club 8 (SV)
4. The Meatpackers – Whirlwind Heat
5. Chemicals – the Notwist
6. Drown them Out – Viva Voce
7. 33 1/3 – Jesus and Mary Chain
8. Sixteen Years – Josef K
9. Let’s Not Fall Apart – David & the Citizens (SV)
10. Needle in the Camel’s Eye – Brian Eno
11. Wildcat – Ratatat
12. Rock Me Now – Metric
13. If I Was Young – the Raveonettes (DK)
14. You Belong With Us – My Favorite

Despite the fact that I cause occasional confusion by incorporating stuff like DFA 1979, I would hope it is fairly obvious that Darren, not I, chose track 4 there. He's also responsible for track 1 -- although that's one I might consider playing again.

18. juli (fredag):

1. Examinor – epo-555 (DK)
2. Heartbeats – the Knife (SV)
3. Radio Edit – Studio (SV)
4. On My Shoulders – the Dø (F)
5. 1986 – Fredrik (SV)
6. 1983 (Pelle & Sebastian) – Pelle Carlberg (SV)

7. Fragile – Wire
8. Where Do You Go To – Peter Sarstedt
9. Quiet Houses – Fleet Foxes
10. Back to Black – Amy Winehouse
11. Explosions – the Mary Onettes (SV)
12. She’s Lost Control – Joy Division
13. The Bicycle Song – Remington Super 60 (N)

And the next show will be tomorrow, 9 pm Pacific.

Also -- I’ll start writing in Danish again as soon as I find my dictionary.
