I missed a trick when describing our Bonaroo experience in my last blog in not mentioning a beguiling performance we happened across in one of the further-flung outposts of the festival. Wandering round the site, we heard vaguely familiar strains coming from a side stage. Gravitating towards it in order solve the riddle of its origin, we found a troupe of hippy chix doing expressive dancing to 'Glosoli'. As anyone who's shared the pleasure:pain interface we experience when confronted with artistic interpretations of the band's work (cf. the a capella barbershop quartet version of Vaka; the head-on hip-hop collision of Staralfur ...

Melbourne, Australia, July 31, 2008 I run into the boys on Smith Street. We’ve come to be fond of Melbourne. And this time round, our second visit in a year, its familiarity is a welcome comfort after the mid-bending trip halfway round the planet. The shops are setting up to close, so Georg, Orri, Kjartan, sousaphone player Ingi and me repair to a small Japanese restaurant a few paces away to see what our stomachs are capable of.
