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.

Det første program (igen)

Right now I’m in the process of listening to Friday’s show so I can remember what I played. I pulled all the CDs straight from the shelves (unusual for me), and since the KPSU website was down during my show time, there was no place for me to archive the playlist. All I remember are a Lykke Li song, a really nice Crystal Castles remix, and, of course, Oh, Yoko. I don’t think I’ve forgotten Oh, Yoko for a minute since Friday afternoon.

If you want to know the Roxy Music story: I’ll make it brief. The second-last week I was in Denmark, we spent a lot of time driving around in a bus -- but, fortunately, the nice kind of bus, with amenities. I would have been content to look out the window, which I mostly did, but during the longer stretches, other people watched movies. One of the movies (which I think was a really bad choice for a bus movie) they chose was Lost in Translation. I like Lost in Translation, and I really like (by really like, I mean am profoundly affected by) the part where Bill Murray sings More than This, by, of course, Roxy Music. Bill Murray also appears in Rushmore, which, oddly enough considering my musical upbringing, is the first place I ever heard Oh, Yoko. It’s not a very strong connection, but it made sense to me at the time.

Anyway, spillelisten:
1. Massive Nights – the Hold Steady
2. Everybody but Me – Lykke Li (SV)
3. Oh, Yoko – John Lennon
4. Split of a Second – Tiger Baby (DK)
5. Atlantis (Crystal Castles Remix) – Klaxons
6. I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times – the Beach Boys
7. Hands Up Baby – Camera Obscura
8. God Knows – El Perro del Mar (SV)
9. Don’t Want You to Wake Up – Teitur (Færo Islands)
10. Go Places – the New Pornographers
11. Forks and Knives – Beirut
12. Black Flowers – Yo La Tengo
13. I Guess I Was Daydreaming – Cake on Cake (SV)
14. Well Worn Hands – Editors

Not much Scandinavian music. Tune in Wednesday for that, hopefully. Things should be back in gear soon-ish.
