Ask Carol: Sleep Deprived Music Review

@AskCarolMusic @Audiobloggers @BlazedRTs @MusicBlogRT @ArtistRTweeters #music #newmusic #musicblog #roguepruk @rtArtBoost @ITHERETWEETER1

Norwegian duo Ask Carol;s album Control You is ready for you. I don’t know if you are ready for it. The album is intense and wistful. Control You is like a cup of Insomnia Coffee – a kickstart to your day. Ask Carol has powerful, dynamic vocals and thundering sound.They are a two-person band that sounds like a whole four person band. They sound a bit like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I guess they have…

Norwegian-UK outfit Permafrost has released their new single ‘Restore Us’ via the Fear of Music label with distribution by Secretly Noord. This 3-track release includes the original version and two remixes – one by MAPS (a.k.a. UK producer James Chapman) and the Pyxis remix by Paul Corkett (The Cure, Placebo, Sleeper, Strangelove). We’ve become numb to endless conflicts and mountebanks posing as…

Wovenhand – ”Refractory obdurate”

  De siste gangene Wovenhand har sluppet plate har jeg gått i den samme revesaksa. Jeg har håpet på en ny 16 Horsepower plate. Denne gangen har jeg jobbet med meg selv. Fått meg selv til å innse at 16 Horsepower ikke lenger eksisterer. Det er over. Bandet ligger begravet syv fot under i Denver ett eller annet sted, ingen kan få bandet til å gjenoppstå. Wovenhand er et annet band. Et annet skip. Et skip som har våget seg lengre og lengre bort fra utgangspunktet. Ut på et stormfullt hav.

  David Eugene blir sintere og sintere. Musikken på platene blir i alle fall hardere og hardere. Jeg ser for meg at den verden han lever i blir ondere og ondere, og som den predikanten han er, må han ty til sterkere og sterkere lut til for å frelse oss. Hesteskoen han tidligere alltid hadde rundt halsen er byttet ut med et kors.

  Wovenhand er for meg først og fremst et liveband. Jeg har de fleste platene deres, men jeg sliter dem ikke ut. Konsertene deres gjør meg alltid forrykt. Får meg til å skrike. Gråte. Miste kontrollen. Denne plata tar meg nærmere en konsertscene. Den første låta på plata setter standarden. Vi blir med David Eugene Edwards og hans medsammensvorne til et mørkt og litt fuktig sted. Han er der oppe på scena i hvit cowboyhatt, svarte slangeskinnsstøvler og en fargerik indianerponcho. Vanligvis opplever vi Edwards sittende på en krakk på scena. Nå står han. Støvlene tramper. Støvet letter som en liten sky. Neonskiltet bak den slitte baren blinker i utakt. Plata klarer å holde på denne dagdrømmen. Holder meg i konsertlokalet. Edwards og hans følge maner frem bilder av svette som drypper fra cowboyhatter. Konsertlokalet føles nesten klaustrofobisk. Skjorta kleber seg til kroppen. Er det gjenferdet av Jeffrey Lee Pierce fra the Gun Club vi ser der oppe på scena sammen med bandet? Edwards klarer å hypnotisere meg. Få meg over på hans side.

  Han frelste meg ikke, men gud skal vite at det var nære på.

  Hør på skiva. Dra på konserten på John Dee 12. Juni.

[aromantisk-fagforening]

honestly I dig the cowbell in this song

[aromantisk-fagforening]

lol, punny

[English: kiss me in the progress*]

fremskritt= progress. **

skritt = crotch

[rewritten: Kiss me in the ass progress party.]

**Fremskrittspartiet= the progress Party, the furthest right leaning party with power

FrP is negative towards immigration, inheritance tax and taxes in general (read: against welfare/social goods/libraries/poor people) and prioritize economic growth. criticized for making differences between rich and poor bigger. they are for oil and privatization. Has been described as "Evil Capitalists™" by a Tumblr user.

edit: their ideology is, according to Wikipedia "liberalism".

they have more politics but yeah.

TLDR: it's a pun to say fuck this right leaning party.

[aromantisk-fagforening]

Damn, positive music? that's a thing huh.

it's in Norwegian (dialect). "I'm so happy I exist".

Eg e ikje skonå mine Eg e ikje ka eg lige Eg e ikje ordå mine Eg e ikje vennene mine Eg e bare någe som tenke Någe som føle Og någe som någen tenke på Eg e bare någe som fins Og ingen forstår

Plain Norwegian (bokmål):

Jeg er ikke skoene mine Jeg er ikke det (/hva) jeg liker Jeg er ikke ordene mine Jeg er ikke vennene mine Jeg er bare noe som tenker Noe som føler Og noe som noen tenker på Jeg er bare noen som finnes Og ingen forstår

English:

I'm not my shoes I'm not what [things] I like I'm not my words I'm not my friends I'm just something that thinks Something that feels And something someone thinks about I'm just somebody that exists And nobody understands

[aromantisk-fagforening]

Roar!!

(the band)

[aromantisk-fagforening]

best song ever. jsyk. (Norwegian, Oslo dialect)

[aromantisk-fagforening]

honestly I dig the cowbell in this song

[aromantisk-fagforening]

wait this is so funny.

English:

And being anxious because I don't have a cool backpack (for school).

It isn't easy not getting [sex/highest grade] and not getting to see all that everyone else gets to see.

In Norwegian the number six is the same as the word sex in pronunciation, though not writing. seks=six. sex=sex.

And yeah, maybe with some exceptions the Norwegian grade system is 1-6, where 1 is failed and 6 is the best. (all subjects use it, except the fail/pass ones, but not all school years afaik, e.g. except international schools there are no grades before 8th year.)

[aromantisk-fagforening]

the French Norwegian is something

Je kjører en Voi.

Le sykkelfelt c'est bare for moi

Je preferé un sparkesyklé

et toi? et toi? et toi? et toi?

translations under the cut

note: I'm not sure if scooter is the right translation of not. It's not a motorcycle/motorbike, it's 🛴. The word "sparkesykkel" usually refers to non-electric ones, that you move by kicking (sparke-) the ground to get power.

Another note: I am not fluent in French. Criticism of the French is welcome.

English:

I drive a Voi [brand of electric scooter 🛴]

The bike lane it's just for me

I prefer a scooter [non-electric 🛴, kickbike]

and you? and you? and you? and you?

French:

Je conduis une Voi.

La piste cyclable c'est que pour moi.

Je préfère un scooter.

et toi ? et toi? et toi? et toi?

Norwegian (bokmål):

Jeg kjører en Voi.

Sykkelfeltet det er bare for meg

jeg foretrekker en sparkesykkel

hva med deg? hva med deg? hva med deg? hva med deg?

[aromantisk-fagforening]

listening to this song makes me feel sad that I was like missing a couple words in my Norwegian relationships (friends, romance and family). Alas, it's impossible to include all slang ever.

(summed up: we're great friends, bros. We're really close, would do anything together including sharing money and inheritance. Don't abandon me or make a move on my gf.)

I'll quickly translate some words here anyway though

bestevenn: best friend

brusjan/brosjan: I think it's slang for bro/brother, but generally it refers to a close friend.

brur: brother in Nynorsk

arguably relevant:

å arve: to inherit (used about money in song, also used about genetics)

other usage of brosjan

(summed up: I believe in my bro Jesus, he's my bestie, my brother, everyone praise him)

translated to English here

(summed up: me and my fellow immigrant (musicians?) are best friends, brothers forever even though we're from different countries and they're more popular than me now)

bror fra en annen mor: brother from another mother

prev post btw:

unrelated to the songs, but relevant to relationships and stuff:

giftemål: marriage

gift: the state of being married or poison (noun) (they are married: de er gift. They have poison: de har gift. they have gotten married: de har blitt gift. They have been poisoned: de har blitt forgiftet.)

familie: family

vennegjeng: friend group (friend gang)

bestis: bestie/best friend

venn: friend

venne (seg) til: get used to (just for the comparison)

venne (seg) av: stop doing/experiencing (just for the comparison)

beste venn for alltid: best friend forever (sometimes used, bff is also used)

foreldre: parents

besteforeldre: grandparents (there are no mother's mother type variants here afaik)

bedre halvdel: better half (at least we don't have significant other I guess..)
