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.

Næsten ny (kun en uge gammel)

Great. Now I have a Rod Stewart song stuck in my head.

It's actually not that bad, though. It occurred to me yesterday that I hadn’t heard anything from Au Revoir Simone, one of my favorite American bands, forever -- no tours, no new albums -- nothing. (Of course, to be fair, I hadn’t really been looking.) A quick myspace blog search revealed that they have been posing for magazine fashion spreads, running through a quick European mini-tour, and -- oh, yeah -- recording, in conjunction with fellow New Yorkers Disco Pusher, a cover of Rod Stewart’s Young Turks. You can’t download it, but there’s a stream over at myspace, and I’ve been playing it all day…

Another ARS thing I didn’t know: Heather (one of the girls) is studying astrophysics at Columbia University and has a blog about space/science. God I love this band.
