Hi, I love your blog, but mostly, I love the purpose of it. I'm a french canadian girl living in Denmark and I love in indie music scene in general, but also the dansih one... so many good bands here, it'S surprizing since Denmark counts 5.5 million people. Anyhow I have 2 blogs of my own... one about my life in Denmark with pictures and videos and text My Diary from Denmark and I also have a music only blog about the music scene but mostly about the danish music scene trying to give exposure elsewhere to danish indie bands The Music and I, live in Denmark feel free to check it out, there are reviews and videos and more!!!! who knows you might discover a great band! I'll come back and check your blog, cause it's great!!!!

Dunno what "fark" is (and all my guesses are probably unprintable) but "filk" is a Science Fiction fandom term for songs with an SF theme, often written as spoofs of (and to the tune of) other songs.
Your blog (and other info) remains one of my favorite reads. Keep up the good work.
