Best Icelandic Albums of 2011, so far...

Icelandic music I like - My personal favorites of this year are:

1. Hellvar "Stop that noise" (Kimi Records)

2. HAM "Svik, Harmur og Dauði" (Smekkleysa)

3. Reykjavik! "Locust Sounds" (Kimi Records)
  Cats - Reykjavík! by Reykjavík!
4. Vicky "Cast a light"

5. Ruddinn "Need a vacation"


Good 2: Mugison's "Haglél" (his first one in Icelandic), FM Belfast's "Don't want to sleep", Björk's "Biophilia" (if you can call it an album with all the Apps).
Most disappointing album by Sykur. Just to mention one. Sorry guys.
Still prefer Sykurmolarnir.

"dEUS" does not exist, but if he does...

Hellvar 2.0

Goodmorning Reykjavik! - Here are The Murderers to Wake You Up!

Going Underground
Morðingjarnir/The Murderers
"Sunnudagsmorgun í Reykjavik" (Sunday Morning in R'vik!)

What to do on a lazy morning/afternoon with a hangover (or not, whatever) in downtown R'vik on the last Hellv/ar/itis day of the Airwaves?

Feed the ducks @ Tjörnin lake near the City Hall. Buy yourself a hot dog with everything @ the best place in town, near the flea market/old harbour of Reykjavik. The bad boys Metallica & Bill Clinton were there long before you ;-)
Go to the Flea Market Kolarportið. Taste the rotten shark, sheep head, Icelandic candy; or just a tasty icecream will do for most of you. You can find some good (and bad) 2nd hand Icelandic music there 2. Have a kebab, pizza, sandwich on the way back. You're 100% ready for the final night & morning of Airwaves 2011 after a cup of coffee or thee.
Don't forget to drink plenty of Icelandic water, tap or other H20. The pure Air is for free.
Buy an apple in the supermarket you can eat it while waiting outside if you're unlucky. Just eat when you get in line. Make friends with people in the row before & behind you.
Free you're mind & the rest will follow.
Go & see the band Hellvar (with Haukur of Morðingjarnir on bass) @ Munnharpan @ Harpa (the huge glasscube by the harbour, you already know, you can't miss it) @ 17:00 sharp. And say "Hi". Or go to Hellvar Online.
Or here for the new version:

Hellvar 2.0

MÓGIL Off-Venue @ Iceland Airwaves 2011@ 12Tónar, Reykjavík on 14. October 2011
The only Belgian-Icelandic band there is, as far as I know, unless you call Reykjavík! also a Belgian-Icelandic band ...

Although I think GuildfordGhost should buy a better camera next year.
