OMD!*, I love OMD**!

(*"Oh My Daze!" A phrase used amongst pre-teens and un-cool teenagers (I am not either). An alternative to "Oh My God!"

 **Orchestral Manoeuvres in The Dark, frequently abbreviated to OMD because it's just too long otherwise!)

But no, it's not just one song... I'm going to post all the ones I love by them, so be prepared for a treat!! Here we go... 1...2...3....4.....

I think that's all of them. There may be a few edits to this post if there are any I've forgotten, but I doubt it.  

Jeg Elsker Danmark!

(If you don't speak Danish, the title means "I love Denmark")

Recently, I have become obsessed with Scandinavia - but one country in particular. Denmark. Don't ask me why, because I really have no idea. I've always liked Denmark, but things started to get serious when I was fortunate enough to watch the music video for "Swim" by Oh No Ono - an amazing Danish band. I listened to the song for days on end, and then became interested in all things Danish. The architecture, the food, the music, the design, all of it. So, I began learning the language. (I can already speak 4 languages, one more can't hurt, can it?) And let me tell you, it ain't the easiest to learn! (I've been using speakdanish.dk , which is a really good website to use if you want to learn the language) But one thing that truly amazes me is the music. Denmark has some really brilliant bands:

Here are some bands I love, with some of my favourite songs...,
