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.

Jeg savner hjemme

Friday’s show went well. Lots of stuff I'd never played before -- or at least not played in a long while. Spillelisten:

1. Lost and Found (live) – the Radio Dept. (SV)
2. Girl Got Lost – Death Valley Sleepers (DK)
3. My Doorbell – the White Stripes
4. Liar – Valerian (F)
5. Janey Black (Tiger Baby remix) – Velour (DK, DK)
6. The Modern Age (live) – the Strokes
7. We Might as Well Have Stayed Young – the Enright House
8. I’m Still in the Grass – the Bear Quartet (SV)
9. Violent Skull – Girls Love Rallie (DK)
10. Mountaintops – What Can Skulls Tell Us?
11. Sky Phenomenon – Jens Lekman (SV)
12. Dudley – Yeah Yeah Yeahs
13. The Walk – the Honeydrips (SV)
14. You Know – Nomber 5s (N)
15. Hide and Seek – the Brian Jonestown Massacre
16. Wishing Well – Love is All (SV)

A couple of downloads: Wishing Well, from Love is All’s new album, is free at Pitchfork. (You can watch the video there also.) Most of what I’ve heard from this band is fairly annoying; fortunately Wishing Well takes that annoying and blends it with catchiness and stupid-dancing-around-ability. Something like that. It’s pretty alright.

Also -- the Radio Dept. has just (finally) launched a new website. It’s not quite done yet, but looks to be incredibly detailed and informative. The media page also has at least fifty songs (some are the same, but different versions) to download. Very cool. Unfortunately, there’s still no release date for the new album, but hopefully it’ll come soon.

Now, regarding next week -- I am now out of town, visiting family for Thanksgiving (which I note does not exist in Denmark, but my great grandmother wants to see me anyway) and I will not be back until Sunday. Zach from My Secret Crush will be hosting the Wednesday show; I don’t know what’s going on with Friday. I’ll be back Monday, 1. December, guest hosting Sound Judgment from 10 pm to midnight, and then Wednesday at 9 and Friday at 3 for the regular shows.
