Our bar guide, talking about Bar 11. Did you hear, we’re reviewing every single bar in 101 Reykjavík! Whoa! PAGE 14 Depositors, lenders and borrowers were given just such a sweet deal in 2001 via the CBI’s guarantee to insure their deposits—regardless of the money’s physical location or denomi- nation. David Howden, co-author of ‘Deep Freeze: Iceland’s Economic Collapse’ blames the Central Bank for creating incentives no rational banker could deny. PAGE 8 The situation in which foreign tour- ists who oppose whaling are keeping minke whaling alive in Iceland is very ironic. Anti-whaling advocate Sigursteinn Más- son has a campaign up his sleeve. PAGE 30 One of the reasons I've wanted to come to Iceland for the last five or six years was because we did a tour with Mugison in Japan in 2005. We had such an awesome time. His music is so great. Ever since then, I've followed Icelandic music. We interview Caribou’s Dan Snaith, who’s playing a show this Saturday. See you there? PAGE 6 My daughter turned 18-years old on April 29. I had told her that we would finally get the chance to meet. I haven’t seen her since she was eleven”, Medhi explains to me, as we meet at the psychiatric hospital where he is being detained while his case is examined. “I had been promised a positive answer in January, but then, as always, months went by and the phone never rang”. We interview Iranian asylum seeker Medhi Kavyanpoor, who threatened to set him- self on fire out of desperation.
