Hi again. I tried writing you several times, but each time my connection crashes right the moment I press 'TAG!'. This time I'll copy my reply, though.

"Girls versus Boys" is an awesome idea - go for it, definitely! I've also wanted to do a color mix in a long time now, but never got around to it. Also, I haven't worked on your DK mix in forever, so I should get to it probably. I really want to be in the next contest, been ages since last time. Now I will check out your latest mix. :)

That sucks about your current pc difficulties. I listen to the tape at night when I find it hard to sleep, you have a very soothing and not-so-loud taste in music, really nice. :) Or it was just the mood of this particular mixtape, I don't know. Nice job anyway.

Yeah, I know Last.FM very well. It was through that site I discovered MTC, so it's not too much to say that it has really changed my life. The free radio can be a real life saver from time to time when you're in need of something new to you to listen to. I'm not actually going to the Tegan and Sara show, though, because I have a school trip to Rome then.

KAthi, I got the tape last week, and I just love it! Even though Christmas' over and there's no snow around, the songs are all really adorable. I was really excited to see Eskobar and the Wannadies on the track list, and I'm slightly obsessed with the Fountains of Wayne track on side A. Also, I was actually going to put that Raveonettes song on your mix, but you beat me to it with your winter mix, WHICH ROCKS!

Oh, that's too bad. Looking forward to receiving it as eagerly as ever. Hope you had a blast visiting your best friend. :) Also, thanks for the birthday greetings.

That's okay. Sometimes they send out the post anyway, and then the recipient pays for the missing postage. That's how I hope they do with this one anyway. :)

And to you too. Merry Christmas and a happy happy New Year!!

I see. We have a nice station here in Denmark as well, but I don't have time to listen to radio ever, only on Sundays, and Sunday equals sports, so in between every other song you have to listen through ice hockey match scores and interviews with coaches. Bummer.

Looking forward to your mix! Hope my mix will reach you safely in the new year. :)

You got it. :)

I know what you mean, but generally I think radio sucks. Too much host blathering and too many pop songs that you grow tired of easily. It's nice though to dwell on older bands. I can't say I'm more to new or old stuff, it's very blurry. As for the Radiohead album, you can just go to www.inrainbows.com and basically download it for free (if you like, you can also pay for it).

Oh my. Yes, I can picture the birthday scenario very clearly!

Well, it's lovely to give and get like that. Have you retrieved to early and 'good old' music then? Your love for newer stuff will find its way back in to your heart, I'm sure! Speaking of ... have you had a listen to the new Radiohead album?

I know how it feels. A winter mix for Christmas would be fantastic, Kathi!!! I'm almost 40% through with your DK-mix.

I'm no good in introducing people to new music. It's a great feeling, no doubt, but somehow I always befriend indie pop persons who won't listen to anything pre-Franz Ferdinand, so my effort's wasted on their likes.

I was going to enter, but I ended up with a bit of a rushed mixtape which I couldn't work on further, so I gave up. I might upload it later, though, because although it doesn't grasp the crazy theme very well, I think it works a mixtape.

About the Danish music mix, I'm working on it! Sorry, I haven't dug that much in to it yet, thank you for reminding me. I have plenty o' time at the moment, actually, so it should be done soon. It could be a Christmas present, if you like.

Ohh, I'm dying for some winter mixes on this site.. Have fun making it. :)

Det kan jag förstå är en kunstig fornemmelse, wow. Är den type 'skola' inte boring? Data och edb har altid været dødssyge fag, tyckar jag. Men lycka til met det nya job! Jag har det bra, tror jag. Men lige nu migræne, så det kunne være bedre. :( Har du tittat det nya mix contest?

Kathi, long time no see. Hur går det met deg?

That's so "hyggeligt". I remember back when I was a little kid, my father would rent a cabin in Sweden during Christmas time, and then we'd spend time together as a family, out in the woods surrounded by nothing but snow, snow, snoww.

I am an atheist myself, but it's true, my family has some other holidays. I don't know when they are, but I believe there was one, because of Lent, here in September or October.

I don't celebrate Christmas, but snow is still a part of the atmosphere in town around Christmas. I feel like something's missing when people skate on ice but there's no snow around them. Plus, if it has to be so darn cold in the winter, then it should at least be a pretty sight with snow every where.

O'waow, snow?? I don't think we'll have snow here in Denmark before next year. Or it'll begin snowing on the 26th of December or something like that. It never snows on Christmas Eve or the day after. That's just not doing it for the whole Christmas spirit, you know?

We had a week's Autumn break, now it's back to school. Just as you said, I will get an employee's discount AND I'll most definitely get my hands on new music that way too. I've already gotten myself really excited about it.

- I don't know the Walkabouts, but Wikipedia informs me that they are from America. And I was totally going to upload a Danish music only mix soon, that's another way of letting you in on the cool bands/artists here. I think I'll compile some of it as we speak..

And ditto on the concerts, my last one was in July when I saw Modest Mouse.

Hej Kathi! Jag har savnet dig her. :)
Alt går bra med jag, i dette vecka havde jag semester, men måndag börjar skolan atter. Lige nu pröver jag at finna penge till så mycka många konserter (CocoRosie, Múm, Ryan Adams och The Cure!), men det bliver "tough as hell." Jag vet inte hur jag gör det.

Nytt job lyter bra! Jag skal ochså pröver at få stilling i Fona eller andet musik shop innen jag blivar 18.

Hur går det med dig ellers?

Holy cow you ARE my new hero. But then, the story must be in German, right? Well, you shouldn't rush it, I get the "my life's more interesting now." But really, it'd be cool to read it someday. :) I bet it's a knocker.

Nej, du har inte förtalt mig att du skrivar på en bok, Kathi! Omg, det lytar fucking kewl, beretningen om musikernes liv. Och hvis du virkelig har skrivat på den i mere end 10 år, så är du min nya helt. Jag tyckar du skal publicere den en dag, naturligvis! Då skal alla få läsar din roman, det är jo vanvittig stört. :) Hur mycket har du skrivat, so far?

Jobbet är bra, men det är lite irriterende att det är om lördagen. F.eks. var jag til fest i går, så det är inte great att jobba næste dag. Jag skal pröva att få job i BlockBuster!

Sociale tabere är "poor people," junkies, alcoholics, pushere, unge modere etc. Gymnasiet är 3 år, men jag är i 2. år nu, så 2009 är jag færdig.

Jag känner Susanne Brögger, men inte den bok, "Creme Fraiche." Åh, jag vil ochså läsa mera klassisk litteratur, faktisk. :) - Jeg känner Benjamin Lebert, hehe, för många år tilbake läste jag "Crazy." Jag tyckade den var mycket bra, men det är længe siden. Jag kan inte huske den så vel nu. Men han var mycket ung då han skrev "Crazy," är det inte sann?

- Interrail och musik lyter som spændende bok topics! Jag skal kanske begynne på något John Irving, för att udvite min kunskap.
