Like LCD Soundsystem (but not trying as hard to be cool) or The Rapture. Surprisingly sweet and down-to-earth vocals. They were pretty awesome fun live.

I’ve been kinda lame with the updates ever since my trip to Iceland. I’ve been totally backlogged. I haven’t read any emails in the last three weeks, I’m skipping out on just about all the CMJ events going on here in New York City in the next few days. I didn’t even bat an eye when I saw William Beckett at the MTVU Woodies last week. (I was too busy live blogging and then rushing home to get some zzzs.) I haven’t even had time to listen to the new My Chemical Romance album! That’s how crazy it’s been. [...] [...] Hi everyone. I’ve been kinda lame with the updates ever since my trip to Iceland.

If I somehow have the cash next year, I may just use the money to go there now as opposed to Roskilde in the summer. Thanks! Calling this post informative is an understatement.

It's probably about the furthest distance in the world away from Sydney though. Oh well. Sounds like a great festival. It’s probably about the furthest distance in the world away from Sydney though.

So glad you are back though. I saw the pic with Tuborg and got a sudden wave of nostalgia for Scandanavia. That is some good beer. Hope you drank (er sipped) some. AWESOME.
