“All the harbours, all
around the country,
are wide open….Look,
I was a captain on a
trawler. I know how
these things work.”
Skuggabörn author Reynir 
Traustason on the drug trade in 
Iceland, page 6.
“When they’re into
it, then they’re into it
the same way. Then
they’re talking at the
screen, but they’re all
talking in the direction
of the movie.”
Quentin Tarantino describing 
American black movie audiences 
to Icelanders, just before his 
lengthy black person in a movie 
theatre impression, page 13.
“They hit an
interesting (well,
interesting for Múm,
anyway) note with
the gothic accordion
crescendos of their
second song, but
for the most part
remained firmly
sutured into their
shiny, sugar-coated
self-indulgent musical
land, a distant realm
where elves and
fairies fly unicorns
over rainbows and
feed candy apples
to pink-furred pigmy
bears with no claws
and vacant smiles on
their faces.”
Part of Sindri Eldon’s review of 
the January 7th Hætta concert, 
page 19.
“You know, people
hear my voice and
they ask me why I’m
not a millionaire. And I
have to tell them that I
just don’t know.”
Blues great Razorblade on his 
career in Clarksdale, MS, 
page 39.
