hehe well yes I have answered this question soooo many times, but it's not
so easy to answer actually. :) I've always liked music from Europe in
particular since I first developed a real taste in music (around 1993 when I
was 12). I love finding new cool bands that no one else here knows about. I
used to see a band mentioned in the NME in 1995 and just go buy their album
without hearing them and most of the time finding out they were cool and
sometimes not liking them. The music scene in America isn't exactly even
close to being good. My brother is also very into music like me so we feed
off eachother sometimes although he only likes bands that sing in English
and hates all my foreign non English speaking bands.
:( He makes fun of Kliche all the time. :(
So I don't just like Danish music, I do like some American music also btw.
But yeah yeah as you can see I somehow really like Denmark in particular.
I don't know if I can give a valid reason. It just all started when I
asked my online Danish friend in 1999 to make me a CD with danish music
because I wanted to hear some bands from Denmark, I knew he had a cool taste
in music (it was very similar to mine) and I knew he would pick something
cool to put on this CD. So he first introduced me to bands like Mew,
Kashmir, Kliche/Lars Hug, Gangway, Psyched Up Janis and some others and I
liked them a lot. Now today I know a lot, yeah, not just mainstream stuff!
And I'm a bit fascinated with Denmark. I hope to be a foreign student there
soon, you get a lot of great concerts! I wish I could learn Danish, but it's
not offered at my University. :( For listening to so much Danish music
though and going on Danish sites I can at least (most of the time)
understand what's being said written down, in general, but not always. I
learned German at my University and eventhough it's completely different
than Danish, sometimes this can help me with figuring out Danish sentences
and what I don't understand I can ask my Danish friends I know from the net.
I think the music scene in Denmark is a really cool one and I can't help but
liking what I hear. :) Now I've been watching some Danish movies as well and
liking them too. Like Blinkende Lygter, Gamle Maend i nye biler and I kina
spiser de hunde. I'm pretty sure I was born in the wrong country.
