I do not ever stop buying records, but the persistence of new technologies and digital fervor at contagiándote just as much as you are old school and you insist on romanticizing the idea of \u200b\u200bdiscovering music as you used to do just five years. Recordable cds, without going any further, I have never seemed more pointless. A nice craft activity that I'm on the road because of this is to create collections of rarities and B sides, a process that ran from the location on the high quality of all types of hidden recording of an artist, the chronological ordering of However, recording cd-r, covers and booklets and glossy printing in the print shop. As spontaneous gift for friends was something special and very resultón, since few people I've met who has the devotion and patience to track rarities that way as much as you like someone's music. Preparing
one of those compilations with the recipient, will be more than three years, I discovered this little song Josh Rouse. I say small because it is a model that yielded in 2000 the compilation that often accompanies the publication numbers Comes With a Smile ( Vol 2 - Boxes In The Hall ) a topic that released two years later on the disc Under Cold Blue Stars (entitled here 'Summer Kitchen Ballad "). Small because it is a bullet endearing voice and harmonium; small because it is reminiscent of a cool summer evening in an open space but remains intimate and simple. Are only four verses that vaguely describe as many sequences, surmounted by the verse "The world is gray and the assertion that gives meaning to the title 'Camping in Copenhagen' : "The old van is tired and going slow / no strip" . Seems resigned to spend the night under the stars because of that break that prevents you from getting home or other place as planned, and it is as if loneliness and boredom he remembered little tense situations lived with someone: "I sat in the kitchen with a cigarette for asthma / in the window, a bit repentant / (...) Below the dam, to take a bath / I took off my shirt but you do not wanted to get inside ". In fact, the details are sketchy enough left open to various interpretations: Are they memories or is that someone comes and something happens that night? Is he all the verses of the same person?
Of the fifteen songs that I assembled for this album given, 'Camping in Copenhagen' was the only one I liked so suddenly, and therefore the situation in the first place, its stillness was a perfect introduction. Tomorrow I go just to Copenhagen. I do not go camping or living hope none of the scenes described by Rouse, but ascending and descending notes of this song hover over me a couple of days, and all began by something as dumb as the fact that the city name is written in the title. Harmonium notes that will surely give a melancholy aftertaste to round trip by plane. Or back.
'Camping in Copenhagen' appeared on the compilation Comes With a Smile Vol 2 - Boxes In The Hall , published in autumn 2000, and thereafter The Best of the Years Rykodisk , retrospective of the work of Josh Rouse published in 2008.
