This feeling rings a bell, that kind of musical reinvention moment has likely happened all over the world. You cannot imagine how boring the Icelandic music scene was in the years leading to 1980, disco, country and third rate pop ruling the waves. Then like lightning appeared basic punk shot rock, blowing minds and changing everything. Bubbi Morthens and his band Utangarðsmenn paved the way. I was at their first concert in Reykjavík and I was in no doubt that music times were changing for the better. A journalist from Morgunblaðið agreed with me, we were enthralled, liberated at last. So, yeah, I know that feeling and we can at least say we were there experiencing the tide turn. By the time they did this Iggy Pop number, Bubbi was crawling on the floor, howling like the dog he had become

Pamela was Dallas, in one night she dreamed several seasons. Glad you enjoyed that. You were at a Sugarcubes gig? Nice, I only saw Björk in Tappi Tíkarrass. I hear you on the subject of Einar. Here's the thing though, Björk would likely have agreed that Einar was the star, he was the driving force behind the band, set up the record company, was by some counted as the first punk rocker in Iceland, which he wasn't, knew many in the business, locally and abroad. Amazing what this guy achieved, a fella who could not sing a straight tune to save his life and only played the trumpet (sort of) but had energy, charisma and leadership qualities in abundance. Björk would not have developed musically as she did without Einar's influence.

I clicked on the link, because it's a girlband, well almost. Not bad, not bad We've had a few in these parts, some better than others Dúkkulísur (Paperdolls) were from a small east fjord town, in the eighties they released this track about a young pregnant girl wishing she was Pamela in Dallas instead

It's been the worst summer in 30 years, but Mrs ramit and I made the best of the 8 or so warm sunny days it supplied us. I am ready for winter though, our backyard picnic table weighs 146 kilos. The forecast says snowstorm in the north tomorrow and the east the day after, we are in the west and so we are going mushroom hunting tomorrow. If you play the music, change sound quality setting to 1080 please, for full effect I was born in 61

Island hopping in Malaysia or some of the 700 inhabited islands in the Philippines. Nepal and Bhutan Mongolia?

First Rule Of Reload Club..

We all have our ways, some more maniacal than others. Some wonderkids are missed by the scout in the earlier versions of Manager that I played, so to do it right, I went through every team myself, checking on price, contract length, second nationality and such. Found the best 16 year old central defender in a tiny club somewhere in Africa, as well as many other gems. Also if you wait for a scout report, some bids may already have come in on a player and he's not affordable anymore. Getting in front of the line can have no substitute. My basic general requirements for all players outside of keeper were decent pace, acceleration, positioning, anticipation and first touch, plus acceptable other mental attributes. Central defenders had to have better than average determination, tackling, marking, jumping and teamwork. Fullbacks must be fast and relatively strong, be able to cross and pass and marking being more important than tackling, stamina a big plus, along with a bit of creativity. These are some of the hardest to find IMO. A player capable of playing both fullback and wingback being gold. Wingers had to have great pace to be able to track back when needed, plus have some flair, technique, off the ball and crossing. Central midfielders are of various types of course, but creativity, passing and teamwork generally required along with acceptable technique. Strikers need decent finishing of course, but high first touch, acceleration and off the ball are imperative and flair and teamwork helps of course, as does agility, balance and technique. Keeper needs better than average agility and balance and positioning, along with shot stopping, jumping and some high mental attributes, such as determination and generally not under 187cm tall. Am likely forgetting some important aspects, but that's basically how I choose players. I never start higher than in league 2, so those stats take notice of that fact to begin with.

An hour? OMG, never press continue the first day until you've checked every player and staff member in the database. 3 days minimum.

Thereby casting doubt on the entire official narrative
