OK, I’m still alive and still in Reykjavik
due to huge network collapse there is no Internet in my hotel for two days
and all the public wifi systems are way too busy and slow

but I got myself a table at Hressó to make this report for you guys

day three – Friday

first I went to see the documentary Backyard
as I told you already this is a sweet movie about the Icelandic music scene
Arni of FM Belfast decided to drop an open air concert
in the tiny backyard of their studio bungallow
in a about the size of two pingpong tables
neat idea for sure
he teamed up with his mates
invited friend’s bands and they’ve made the gig

yes, it’s not a complicated story
but the movie itself give you the ultimate inside view of Icelandic music scene
and you will learn more about it than from any blog posts
Backyard is a MUST SEE for everyone involved with music
to realize how spoiled most of us musicans are
to see these internationally loved bands in their hometown
and to wanna come to Iceland after the screening immediately
Backyard is the best promo for Iceland
much better than any official commercial

after the screening Reykjavik! and FM Belfast played few songs in the cinema
and it was funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

at the evening I went to see Hjaltalin at NASA
they were brill just as I remembered
and being in their hometown added a special flavour

then I went to the Art Museum to see Hurts
and well, ehmmmm
we are famous of not writing bad things about anything
cos we simply do not write or post bad things
so I keep this great habbit
let’s say Hurts was more than dissapointing
we are guilty of overhyping them, sorry we won’t do it again ;)

day four – Saturday

because of my lounge space disco DJ gig I’ve only seen Robyn yesterday
she was kool, just as I expected it
a lotta energy, a lotta moves, smart show, 100% Robyn

today is Sunday
my only mission was to write this post
and to see FM Belfast at NASA

see you there if you are around

Simon ‘deadwithoutinternet’ Iddol

and the most awaited concert of the festival will happen tonite
HURTS at Reykjavik Art Museum from 23:50

the always amazing HURTS will play in Reykjavik
on the Iceland Airwaves festival (NASA stage) on Friday

And it feels better than love.
Yeah it feels better than love.

HURTS ft. Kylie Minogue – Devotion

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

At first HURTS have recorded a cover of the Kylie Minogue classic Confide In Me as part of the Sun Newspaper’s ‘Biz Sessions, then Kylie herself has recorded vocals for the HURTS song Devotion, appearing on the bands debut album Happiness due out 6th September. The whole story sounds like a fairytale and Devotion is the soundtrack of it.

we posted HURTS a while ago
and now here they are again
