Jeg tænkte, dette vil ske

To all radio listeners:

KPSU is currently in the process of installing a bunch of new (and, in my opinion, rather unnecessary) equipment. As of now, the signal is down -- so there will be no show today. Hopefully things will be back in order by Wednesday.

So that you're not too sad (don't be -- I didn't have anything planned anyway) here is Wednesday's playlist:

1. Smedby - Gentle Touch (SV)
2. Private Life of a Cat - the LK (SV)
3. Gloomy Planets - the Notwist
4. Summercat - Billie the Vision & the Dancers (SV)
5. Pretenders (featuring Hello Saferide) - Montt Mardié
6. Starman - David Bowie
7. Moonman - Rebecca Phinney
8. Far Apart - Oliver North Boy Choir (DK)
9. (Lack of) Love Will Tear Us Apart - the Honeydrips (SV)
10. 156 - Mew (DK)
11. Shake It Off - El Perro Del Mar (SV)
12. Salt - Mugison (IS)
13. Going to Where the Tea Trees Are - Peter von Poehl (SV)

And because I am so nice -- also because I realize I have not done so in several weeks -- there are two songs you can download, both of which come from the label Songs I Wish I Had Written, which I think is an excellent name. Anyway -- Gentle Touch's Smedby, which I discovered under the loved tracks on my last.fm, despite not remembering ever having heard it before -- who knows? -- and the LK's Private Life of a Cat, which starts out kind of strangely, at least in terms of sound, but still winds up being very good. Both are kind of electro, but not overly so. Smedby is more indie-pop-ish, albeit with an obvious drum machine. Private Life of a Cat has a very catchy chorus, and it is not really obviously about/told by a cat, which I also like.

Tomorrow -- or perhaps later today -- I will have another post about Hello Saferide and Sincerely Yours. And hopefully I'll soon be able to overcome my apathy toward writing (and, I guess, pretty much doing anything in general), because there's so much stuff going on right now, and I really should be out doing it, or writing about. Soon...
