It’s been a while since I have posted anything out of Iceland. Lay Low (aka Lovísa Elísabet Sigrúnardóttir) is about to release her US debut album, Farewell Good Night’s Sleep, on March 9th. I have heard Lay Low referred to as the “Icelandic Patsy Cline“, so we’ll go with that.

Die Antwoord ~ “Enter The Ninja”
But look at me now. All up in the Interweb. WORLDWIDE!
I don’t know enough about South African culture to differentiate if Die Antwoord is serious or if they are trying to be an Afrikaner Ali G playing techno rap. Regardless it made me laugh so I had to post it.

It’s been 51 years since The Day the Music Died
From Wikipedia:
The Day the Music Died refers to February 3, 1959, a date on which a small-plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, United States, killed three popular American rock and roll musicians: Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson, as well as the pilot, Roger Peterson. The phrase was coined by Don McLean in his 1971 tribute song about the crash, “American Pie”.
