This was quite special. Nat (the guy behind me), a Minnesotan of Norwegian descent, contacted me for a tour. I told him that I only do specially ordered groups at moment, for a certain start fee, and I suspected he would politely decline. But, he managed to gather a group, through Reddit I think, and here they were. Two Americans, an Italian and a Spaniard. All total music buffs so you can imagine the fulfillment we all got. I talked my mouth off. Weather conditions forced us to turn The Reykjavik Music Walk into The Reykjavik Music Talk at the tail end, and we fled the pouring rain into the rock bar Lemmy’s. Quite fitting. There we spent half an hour talking about music, music, music. I concluded our time together by telling them the story of Sigur Ros’ Ágætis byrjun release concert in the summer of 1999, at the then Íslenska óperan venue in Ingólfsstræti. That monumental event came alive at Lemmy’s patio, and my friend Nat was literally in tears by the story’s end. Thank you guys for a brilliant time, this was extra, this was “quite special”🙏❤️
