Now THAT is Radio

A post for our danish readers. I just have to share a revelation I had a few days ago:

I was reading a book as I started to think about danish national broadcasting radio and the quality of danish radio in general. I came to the conclusion: Danish radio only have one channel that is worth listening to, P6 Beat.

I was still missing more talking and discussions about the music. What’s the underlying theme of a certain track from The Smiths? I’ve always been fascinated with the lyrics Matt Berninger writes, what does he mean? How did Bowie come up with that sound? And so on. Just as I was thinking that, the show “Album” with Kristian Leth and Ralf Christensen started. They play complete classic albums, talk about it in between the tracks, and it’s exactly what I was looking for! How weird is that? I love music nerds…

I strongly suggest that you tune in to P6 beat every Saturday between 13-15 – it’s so chill and inspirational. These shows already aired, you can listen to them online, but unfortunately not as podcast(!):

Prince: “I`ve got more hits than Madonna`s got kids”

Sunday 7th August I’m going to NPG Festival in Copenhagen to see Maceo Parker, Chaka Khan, Janelle Monae, Nikka Costa and PRINCE. I was at his gig not so long ago at Amager bio also in Copenhagen, where he gave us the most insane funky dance concert. He went on around 2 am, almost no vocals, lot’s of jam, and not a single one of the 1000 in the audience weren’t dancing!

I can’t wait to see him and of course Maceo Parker(!). Didn’t get to see Janelle Monae at Roskilde Festival, who I was told did a magnificent concert, so I’m looking forward experiencing her as well. (You wanna know how much I paid? 100 kr / 20 $)

Plug in a decent pair of speakers, turn up the volume and get up and dance.
