I take photos of bands sometimes and collect music. I’m going to try to post about Icelandic bands I dig. I’m also in the process of archiving a stack of the old Icelandic magazine Undirtonar. You can see photos and the archive at Ragnaarb.com
This was below your post on my feed and felt relevant.

Happy birthday to Björk. I’m sure some better writer than I can say it better, but she’s been planting seeds and plowing the way for creative music for decades. Photo from the book Blue Eyed Pop by Dr. Gunni.

My new Bolo tie, a trilobite wrapped in vintage Swarovski crystals. My mum made it for me for an event and I love it.

I baked a pie for my krúsídúlla. (Sorry, really sorry.) Maybe it’s the subliminal messaging of the season but decided to bake a peach pie, something I’ve never done before. Doubt I’ll win any awards with the lattice work. But it tastes great.

Ida Laura Pfeiffer on her trip to Iceland. She was a solo female traveler who toured the world mid to late 1800’s and wrote books on her travels. Most are still in print.
Her way of describing things is incredible.

Didn’t know this existed. Glad @graywhaleslc.bsky.social let me know. @blondieband.bsky.social Fab 5 Freddie, and a remix by Cut Chemist. Christmas music is sorted. Yuletide Throw-down for the win.

It amazes me how difficult it is to find golden syrup around here. Also amazes me that after a year I finally found out there’s a British import shop 15 minutes from my house that I didn’t know about. ❤️🙄

Mother in law gave us her old all in one stereo system. It’s from ‘86 and even though it’s been sitting for 20 years or so still worked on start up. No tinkering at all. Seabear album for the test run.

A while at the Phillips library I discovered Ida Pfeiffer, a female author and explorer from the early to mid 1800’s. Here’s her opening for her book on Iceland. And also the appendix with the salaries of Icelanders.

Múm have released their first album in 12 years. A super group where each musician brings a wealth of history to the table. Sigurlaug Gísladóttir’s artwork is on the cover and inner sleeve. Harmonious and somehow each song is also independent. I really love it.

Only album I’ve ever played at full volume. I had neighbors that would play music until early morning mid-week. After many please stops, I finally placed my Klipsch system in my window, gave roommates and a neighbor earplugs and blasted this album at full volume at 6am. They finally stopped.
