King Creosote taps Twin Tub Twin at Aldrei fór ég suður

King Creosote (aka Kenny Anderson) taps into Twin Tub Twin Ísafjörður during
the Aldrei fór ég suður Festival. You can find the original version on KC’s Rocket
D.I.Y. album from 2005.

KC was made the 8-hour drive up from Reykjavik in the hopes of getting a last
minute slot on the festival bill. When that avenue was thwarted KC jumped the
bus ferrying punters back to town and played his songs to a surprised but ecstatic
mob on a couple of journeys to and from the venue.

Mysterious Marta covers Ævintýri in her Ísafjörður loft

Mysterious Marta covers Ævintýri (’Fairytale’ in Icelandic) by the cheesy 70’s
Icelandic band Ævintýri. She also introduces us to her mini me, and we hear
NME journalist Paul Stokes weigh in on what makes a hit pop song. All of that
and more live from Marta’s flat on Mánagata in the idyllic setting of Ísafjörður.
