Twi – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Twi – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Twi (pronounced ‘chwee’ [tÉ•Ê·i]) is a language spoken in Ghana by about 7 million people. It is one of the three dialects of the Akan language, the others being Akuapem Twi and Fante, which in turn belongs to the Kwa language family. Within Ghana, Twi is spoken in the Ashanti Region and in parts of the Eastern, Western, Central, Volta and Brong Ahafo Regions.

Twi is an absoulutely beautiful language I was SO fortunate to attend a mass in, just by chance, in Steffanskirken this sunday, I had no idea that the Danish State Church was THAT spacious.

I haven’t cried since. Alice Taylor R.I.P. (now a tear is making a feeble attempt at working it’s way to the tear canal, but the force is with me, I’m strong! You be strong too, follow the white light).

Leo’s Lyrics Database – Bikstok Røgsystem – Unger lyrics

Leo’s Lyrics Database – Bikstok Røgsystem – Unger lyrics

Leo’s Lyrics…Hmm not quite as good as LyricsFreak, but I still found the lyrics to Bikstok Røgsystem’s fantastic song Unger (Kids) – we need to relay this to the troubled inner city kids, like the one’s that went joyriding this friday – SHEER luck no-one got hurt, a car is a leathal weapon!

Eagger:
Hvordan ka det være du si’r du nede med bling bling
Eaggermand sidder der på gaden han ser den sam’ting
For mange mennesker drøner rundt med deres blim blim
De burde vide de burde lære det er den forkerte ting
Hør
Hvordan ka det være du si’r du nede med sleng teng
Det er reggae og de kalder mig deh danceking
For meget snak men du si’r jo ik’ en damn ting
Du går med kniv men jeg holder mig til ginseng
!Hør!

Hydepark:
Kujon går med kniv soldat med gevær
Det var det han sagde hvordan ka det være I ikke ka’ la’ vær’

Feeble (no that’s self depreciation – Janteloven in effect – I’m learning) attempt at a translation:

Eagger:
How come you say you’re down with bling-bling
Eaggermand sitting on the street watching the same thing
Too many people running round with their blim blim
They should know they should learn it’s the wrong thing
How come you say you’re down with bad things
This is regae and they call me the danceking
Too much talk but you don’t say a damn thing
You carry a knife but I’ll stick with ginseng
!Listen!

Hydepark:
Coward carries knife soldier a gun
That’s what the man said how come you just can’t stop

Ah mainteneant ça marche votre musique embede! Merci! C’est beau ça.

Hmm it seems that I’m in SERIOUS need of a French WordPress category now (I need to embed some English language in this post for it to qualify in the Kim Blog (English) category)!!!

Hmmx2 I suspect that the reason the stream didn’t work is because I stress my Mac by never closing anything leaving 20 applications and 70 Firefox tabs open at any time.

Have to check out Camino.

YouTube – Wordbirds’ samtaler – ordleg

Tak til Wordbirds fordi jeg kom i tanke om resultatet af en klassisk tråd, som jeg ikke lige kan finde fordi PowerPalle har Macnyt til service eftersyn og har lukket søgefunktionen.

Nu er mit favorit hangout ikke IRL, men TÆNK hvis det var…

Der var også nogle der ikke var så glad for den.

Men kort sagt:

Wendelboe: DET VAR GENIALT DET DER!!!!

ps…Ahhh her er den (advarsel den tager LANG tid at loade, men jeg har lige sagt Gem som HTML, og så gør vi den klæbrig et andet sted. Som ren HTML loader den som en Kitty Kat!

KAFFE&VINYL: Ethiopian Jazz ROCKS!

KAFFE&VINYL: Ethiopian Jazz ROCKS!KAFFE&VINYL: Ethiopian Jazz ROCKS! (Originally uploaded by K.Job).

KAFFE&VINYL is one of the coolest new places in Copenhagen, located in Skydebanegade 4, Vesterbro (my old hood).

KAFFE&VINYL is a coffeshop combined with a record store that predominatly sells vinyl records and EXELLENT coffe. When I was there somebody bought some Ethiopian Jazz, it’s obviously a BIG seller, and you can understand why, really groovy, to me it sounded a lot like the best hip-hop acts like Madlib.

KAFFE&VINYL is HIGHLY recommended, but could be addictive, but he carries almost no hip-hop, which is wise because the owner has no knowledge of the genre.

While I was there, and suggested that he should carry some, especially since it, along with punk and electronica, is the genre that has done most for the survival of the vinyl format, a woman in the store remarked that it should be banned! How IGNORANT, it’s like saying Jazz is bad just because bad Jazz exists.

Eventually it turned out that he did indeed have some hip-hop, the owner Christian, isn’t a fundamentalist, he also carries CDs.

RESPECTxtilted figure eight.

Giselle was staring at me…

…and I bought a 12″ vinyl on the spot, now I need a 1210?

12″ vinyl records are also being bought by teenagers to decorate their rooms, because they think that they look cool. This reminds me of something I experienced a few years ago, where I overheard this conversation on the train…

Teenager inspecting a 12″: “This is really cool, but do you understand how music comes out of it?”.
