Does anyone here read Norwegian?
Jun. 10th, 2006 06:06 pmI'm a sad sack, I know. There's a song I heard once on WFMU, the local (and best ever) freeform radio station-- I heard it at, I don't know, it must have been three in the morning and I was driving somewhere near Montclair State University.
Long ago, I managed to track down the song name and the artist. It's 'Lada 1500' by an indie Norwegian fuzz-guitar group called Astroburger.
EVER SINCE, I have been looking for the damn song. All over the internet, trying to beg, buy, or steal it from /somewhere/, from ANYWHERE.
It's been nowhere.
NOW IT IS. I have purchased it.
...I think.
The problem is, I bought it from http://www.rekylvinyl.no, and though I'm *pretty* sure I got enough cognates and made enough logical assumptions that I managed to do it right, I can't actually tell from the response email I got whether or not they shipped it yet. I think they shipped it COD, if that's even possible anymore. I really don't know. If anyone can enlighten me, I'd be *most* pleased.
Here's the original text of the email I received:

So like-- I can grok some of it from the aforementioned cognates and translation, but I've a horrible worry I'm missing the actual *gist* of the missive.
Halp? :D
