“Quite often, I would be here, in my
underwear, making myself breakfast,
and friends who lived close by and were
walking to work would just knock on the
window and be like, ‘hey, can I get a cup of
coffee to take to work?
This man is now serving some great coffee
out the window of his home at Baldursgata
26. What’s more, it’s for a good cause!
“I really don’t know whom I haven’t
repaired for! Oh yes, I don’t think I’ve
ever seen a repair personally from Björk.
I’ve worked with a lot of the musicians
that have played with Björk but never her
personally. I’ve done a lot of work for Sigur
Rós. I go through their stuff every time
they go on tour.”
Rumour has it that musicians in Iceland all
send their broken instruments to this one
electronic technician from Akranes.
“Its windows were fogged but cheerfully lit,
and when I cautiously knocked on the door,
it opened slowly, emitting a pneumatic hiss
reminiscent of a made-for-TV space ship.”
Iceland’s bookmobile drives around
Reykjavík to make sure that nobody has to
go more than a kilometre to access library
books.
“I have never missed a day of work due
to drug use and none of my personal,
professional, romantic or familial
relationships have suffered.”
One drug user is fed up with how narcotics
are frequently portrayed, and wants to
regulate their sale and production.
