This is a link post Revolution in Iceland

Forgive me for the Facebook link, especially if it doesn't work, but I thought some of you might be interested in this. There's a whole lot going on over there that's not being covered by external media with regards to the global economic crisis.

Also - just booked my ticket and flights to see Sigur Rós in Reykjavik on the arse end of their world tour. So fuck the rest of you.

This is a normal post That would be just my luck at the moment.

If it does, I'll kill myself for you.

This is a normal post I was only kidding, don't kill yourself (unless you really have to).

This is a normal post If I couldn't go it would ruin my life

I might just think about killing myself, then go and grab a beer.

This is a normal post There's also a supervolcano or two that could ruin you're day.
and there's one on the canary islands that could be rather messy for the east coast of america.

This is a normal post Supervocanoes are insane

Apparently the whole of Yellowstone Park is a supervolcano. That would do more than ground a few planes for a week.

This is a normal post Saw Sigur Ros open for Radiohead in 2000
Even though Jonti's violin bowing of his guitar got on my tits to start with, I thought they were fantastic. Need to update my collection though cos I think I've missed their last albums. Also want to see Heima but haven't bothered to buy it.

This is a normal post Ágaetis byrjun and ( ) are my favourite

...Which is what their new album is supposed to be going back towards. Have seen both them and Jónsi - great to watch live.

This is a normal post was that the south park homecoming gig?
that was immense. opening bars of 'creep' as 40,000 shoegazers got utterly drenched.

This is a normal post No

I saw Sigur Rós at Brixton academy about 8 years ago, and Jónsi twice in Bournemouth and the Hammersmith Apollo. Had tickets for their Alexandra Palace gig but couldn't go in the end so it's been a while since I've seen them.

This is a normal post I love Sigur Ros
And loved the South Park show (we pleasantly heckled Beck and he spoke to us :D), but I thought they were poorly suited to a hot summers day in blazing sunshine shortly after Supegrass :).

This is a normal post That was 2001 though.
But that was an amazing gig with a line-up that I don't think I'll see beaten for a while. Beck were going through their Mutations period though so it was kinda nice to chill between Supergrass and Radiohead. I had no idea who was playing before showing up with my sister's tickets (bought off her about an hour before the gates opened). WIN.

This is a normal post Iceland Population - 320,060
That's about half the population of Leeds. On a global scale it just isn't very exciting.

This is a normal post Ok
But a country with that population getting rid of their government and changing their constitution?

The real reason I posted was because it's very worrying that a 'free' media such as our own is sweeping it under the carpet.

The revolution, doubtful, hence the link. The gig, maybe, but it'll still be better to be there.
