FRUM Contemporary Music Festival ISK 1,500 ISK 20:00 Kjarvalstaðir, Flókagata 24 (H8) The annual FRUM Festival serves as an introduction to an undercurrent of music history, one in which ground- breaking, yet somehow ‘forgotten,’ Nordic composers of the past, ‘the Lost,’ are looked over and given a modern twist by the throng of current and upcoming composers, or ‘the Found.’ The festival will be focused on performances of German-Icelandic ensemble “Adapter,” whose renditions will undoubtedly provide an unconventional and illuminating testament to the Nordic musical spirit. LH MUSIC Celebrating The Past In The Present Warning! Rugrats Everywhere! Icelandic National Day ISK Free! All day All over Iceland Do you want to take the kids out, feed them lots of hot dogs and the corporate sludge of the consumerist age (aka. Coke) and give them helium balloons that you know they will inevitably lose and cry over for the rest of the day? Well, you’re in luck, because that’s what pretty much every family will be doing this Tuesday, along with watching parades and clowns doing funny business. If you are, however, without kids, you can join the rest of us in fretting over bouncy castles not being available for adults… TGB Photo by Steinar Hugi I Blog Therefore I Think ‘Sjáum-k Ég Meir Um Munin’ ISK Free! 10:00-19:00 Reykjavík City Library, Tryggvagata 5 (D3) Ancient Greek philosopher Socrates hypothesised that reading literature dulled the mind. German philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein hypothesised that our language confined the kind of thinking we could do. Canadian philosopher Marshall McLuhan maintained that the medium was the message. Following in their footsteps, Canadian Guy Stewart believes that the advent of a generation raised on the internet also alters their way of thinking. Is he onto something? And is it affecting our memory and perception of time? Check out his literary exhibit to find out his take on the matter.

With a persistent wage gap and gender-based violence still prevalent in the country, and atrocities still happening abroad, it's only right that we come together in solidarity and tackle the matters head on. Expect rallies, meetings and activities downtown. June 12 THEATRICAL ROCK Icelandic bands have a tendency to sometimes go a little over the top, but if dramatic is what you want, we don't think you can do any better than Dif- ferent Turns whose practicing space has been a theatre! The seven-piece alternative- electro rock band is celebrating their debut concept album, 'If You Think This Is About You... You're Right' in Borgarleikhúsið. Admission is 2,500 ISK. June 11 THE VOICE OF A GENERATION Have you heard the word? No, it's not a bird, it's The Pixies! And they're coming to Iceland, too. If you don't mind forking over 6,700 ISK and aren't too hung up on Kim Deal no longer being with the indie rock supergroup, then you're in for a good time. They're joined by Mono Town, too. They perform at Laugar- dalshöll at 20:00.
