kent on Twitter - translations

[stjärnor]

Ok, a lot of this seems to be quite cryptic and doesn't seem to make sense (in Swedish either, I imagine!), and there's bits I can't translate (underlined), still make of this what you will, someone at kent towers is having fun with Twitter anyway!
(if you want to help translate/post, please feel free to join in!)


-Oh Twitter! Damn, how boring.

-Now we will eat dinner, then understand you youngsters, we'll record a damn hoooder song. #kent

-The grass and the flowers- we have landed. The grass has a green boss. I report to me. #kent

-Dinner is finished! "All the world is green!" Young stuffed bear was served. Robert Biörn polished our shoes. Oh no, tommorrow is coming, Blo.
* "All the world is green" is a song by Tom Waits. No idea who Robert Biörn is, but if you google there is an american lawyer with that name...

-Bom funk the 3rd facilitates Flutter lip the 4th

-The coast is clear, life feels mild. Fifteen bears west. Our third makes/becomes lame/horse. Difficult to get the moaning of Herr Dardanell #kent
*Herr Dardanell was a pseudonym for a Swedish songwriter Tor Bergstrom, and 'Herr Dardanell...' is a Swedish film title

-Now you!!! Now is the end of the evening.

-Borg was the greatest. Börjarbrackarn rules the world. Bkgdor! #kent

-Time to wrestle with The Shower. Warm,cold,warm.cold,warm...#kent

-The Shower won. Damn developed country plumbing!!! (VVS = a plumbing supplier in Sweden)

-The studio pet donkey Lulu and pony Midnight lulu & midnight.jpg

[stjärnor]

- Let's see now. How is this song?

-The drums! What has happened with the drums? #kent

-The mouth goes. (eh I'm not sure I've translated that correctly, something to do with vocals, perhaps???)

-Question: What is a good tweet? Question 2: Where is my child? #kent

There's not more sense to make out of it all

Last tweet: Markus has played the drums, Sami and Martin are relaxing with a pastis each. Good shit.

[stjärnor]

and...

- Jocke is checking the text for the song we are doing now.

- Cheese and bacon brag. For dessert: pudding.jpg

Thank god I'm not the only one this isn't making any sense to!
Some of this is harder to work out than one of Jocke's forum posts!


-We have realised that much of the studio work is spent walking back and forth #professorbaltazar

-Guitars, guitars. One for every note. Just now we are working in 123 bpm: guitars.jpg

-There is the little question of who tweets here. The answer to the question is, of course, we. I, Markus, Jocke or Sami, in other words.

What weirdos. They are having a little too fun with Twitter? Very ambiguous.

Just a wee note- unfortunately, the images will only show if you log in.
That's really bugging me, it must be the new forum set-up, because I'm sure in the previous forum style you could post images that would show up without you needing to be logged in.
I've tried linking directly to the 'twitpic' too, but that didn't work either. I just get an error.
So folks, you'll either need to log in, or go and hunt the pics out on their twitter page, sorry.

I love that guitar photo, I can spot a 12-string and a bass amongst the collection. (wish I could play the guitar...)

First tweet of today-

-Pedal breakfast. pedals.jpg

-When there is too much Minor (key) in the song, you then throw it in this can: monodist.jpeg

We neede to log in too in the previous style. I believe the forum that was used before 2007 allowed you to see pics without loggin in.

Thanks marco. I don't remember the 'old' forum- only joined here in 2007.
I was sure I remember seeing images in the 'roliga bilder' (funny pics) thread without logging in.

Anyway, I hope you're enjoying the kent pics, I'm really interested to see all the 'behind the scenes' photos.
I'm still drooling over all those guitars...

-The machinery: machines and things.jpeg

-Markus' office: drums.jpeg

- can you buy-out the old track on the signature tune? It was brilliant!

- Now using the slide away, Underestimated tool! (I think)

- Really nice weather outside. A little sun would do our pale, pallid faces good. But we must work. Hurrah! #kent window.jpeg
(this kind of tweet I like, I can understand it and translate it!)

- You must have lyrics to the music. Jocke TCB. #kent jocke tcb.jpg
* TCB= Taking Care of Business- see this Seinfeld page

- Love for a music stand. #kent kärlek.jpg

- Marching snare drum check. Moog bass check

[stjärnor]

- Is that not a pastis between the synths? pastis.jpg

(that's all from me until monday)


Tweets from the weekend:

- This morning when I got up, there was this old man sitting in the garden tapping on a typewriter. Who is he? What is he doing? trädgården.jpeg

- The weather! #kentfrance weather!.jpeg

- @waldersten has found twitter. Follow this bone (?) chatterer now.
(Martin collaborated with Jesper Waldersten in an art/music project)

- Now we sing. Some are better than others.

- How should we tackle this song? Forwards, backwards, on toes or with hat?

- Monumental lunch slump.

- They have one of the worlds biggest collections of classical music here. If you listened for 8 hours a day, it would take you 80 years to get through it all.

- Oysters and champagne. Another dinner at work in gourmet heaven.

- Washing is more fun than twittering. Understand that if we washed, we must tweet about it. Otherwise it didn’t happen. washing.jpeg
(notice that the only colourful things that are there look like underwear )

- Said just now in the studio: "are you accusing me for rythm change i one single song?,,, YOU MOTHERFUCK"
(the bit in italics was written in English)

- Berghain becomes bacon if your rasta. (tweeted in English, although 'rasta' means exercise in Swedish, so now I'm really confused!)
*Berhain is a nightclub in Berlin.

[stjärnor]

- Machine bira and the new song *uffe den tuffe* (uffe the tough)

- Oyster festival with our wonderful studio hosts oysters.jpg

- Thanks France! Two weeks hard work is over. Now we go home. #kent

Just a moment ago... (I seem to be lucky and log onto here and look at kent's twitter just after they have posted something!)

- Finally you can restore the tastebuds with Sybilla after all the French cooking.
* Sybilla is a fast food company in Sweden. Burgers, hotdogs, meatballs, etc.

- Jus now we are drinking coffee from each side of each others' cup. What is that called? Each other? Each other?
(I think the kent tweeter is trying to work out the correct tense for each other with the last 2 'each others': varsit/varsin, whatever they're doing, it certainly sounds interesting! )

- Martins music for @waldersten beutiful art-exhibition. Now on I-tunes. Martin Sköld - Musiken På Vägen Hit - http://itun.es/iL77mZ

[stjärnor]

- Just outside Eskilstuna is a little village which is called Flugmöte. We are having a band meeting.

Now I wish I had my twitter account still so they can wish me happy birthday.
