Hot groovy ice

Are these guys cool because they are from Iceland or are they from Iceland because they are cool? That is a question we might never be able to answer. In the meantime, you can enjoy some of the hot groovy stuff from their album.

Thoughts of a living specimen (How to Dress Well)

Every single thought in our mind is important. Everything has consequences. Thoughts are never mundane. Careful what pops up in that hairy sphere of yours. For Real.

This is How to Dress Well.

Sleep in the Park

Solange is a saucier version of her sister.

Young Dreams

Like how these Norwegians sound on their debut album Between Places

More Of Suede

And speaking of Suede. I used to blast this song when I was "Coming up" at 15 years of age. It´s that glorious chorus that totally got me.

Bloodsports

Suede are back!

The Flaming Lips & friends

Last year The Lips released this juicy album featuring collaborations with tons of exciting musicians such as Tame Impala, Bon Iver and Jim James. Being themselves one of the most exciting bands around this was sure to go down as one hell of a ride. Here are two mammoth pieces from this great collection.

Motorcycle Emptiness

First time I heard this song I felt as if I had heard it before. I´m still not sure if I had heard it before or not. One of those strange "Cloud Atlas" moments. Anyway the song is haunting.

The New Yorke

Thom Yorke is now called Atoms for Peace. This guy can compose exciting music from his anuus.

Mother

Mother Nature is the most brilliant artist and the greatest cook.





It´s the simple things..

..like boiling a cob of corn and enjoying the sweet taste of nature.

..like doing the dishes while listening to gangster rap

..like walking home on a sunny day


The small things in life can be so beautiful.

Mér finnst ég alltaf vera að horfa á rassinn á Matthew McConaughey.

Skyfall (70%)

Like the new, young Q says in the latest James Bond feature: We don´t do exploding pens anymore. I for one think that exploding pens are a lot of fun, something that Skyfall lacks.

Les Miserables (60%)

If they would have just uttered their lines this wouldn´t have gone on for almost two and a half hour which is more dramatic singing than I can handle. Still worth the watch if only for that gut-wrenching "I dreamed a dream" scene with Anne Hathaway.

Grimes - Genesis

Utterly irresistible.


Indians - Bird

Indians is a one man´s band hailing from Copenhagen. This is a song I grabbed from his debut, Somewhere Else which to me sounds quite agreeable. The song is Bird.

Silver Linings Playbook (50%)

Silver Linings Playbook (which got Jennifer Lawrence an easy oscar) doesn´t have anything interesting to say about mental illness or love and is neither funny enough nor engaging enough. I enjoyed parts of the first half of the movie but found the latter part mostly unwatchable. Not even the dance routine was interesting. David O. Russell has made other more watchable movies like The Fighter, I heart Huckabees and Flirting with Disaster.

That which defines us

Armani, Dior, Hugo Boss, Gucci, Dolce & Banana, Kevin Kline. That´s just how I roll.
