The Hippest Concert You Can´t Go To
Jessie J
This issue’s picker is Borgar Maganason, an ambitious indepen-
dent musician with a background in classical music, whose focus
is producing and teaching music. He’s played almost every genre
of music in the past decade, and is involved in numerous music
projects, including the Tin Drum concert series in Harpa. He’s
a hard man to please—when asked about what music he’d be
looking out for, he was very clear: “Good music, not bad music”.

Pop diva, personality, singer-songwriter and general all-around
superstar Jessie J is hitting Iceland! After her earthshattering
debut in 2011, she has just kept rising and rising. She’s done TV
appearances; she appeared at the London 2012 Olympics; and she’s
the first artist to have six songs from the same album in the Top 10
in the UK. Widely thought of as one of the greatest pop voices today,
she’s finally performing in Iceland, at Laugardalshöll on September
15. Tickets are all sold out, but there are bound to be some last-
minute cancellations. AJdR

The Reykjavík Grapevine
Issue 14 — 2015

September
You know that feeling you get where you're clear-headed and clean?
It's awful, right? Like... literally the worst. The best remedy for this
affliction is a kilo of stoner rock, a smidgen of sludge, & a dash of
doom metal, all mixed in a bowl with a cup of Húrra. Bake in the
oven at maximum temperature for six to twelve hours and voilà!
You've got yourself some good, old-fashioned Plastic Gods. And
don't worry—if you find they're not filling enough on their own, a
healthy side of ULTRAORTHODOX is sure to satisfy. SLWF
