Update...

I owe this blog a big update, and finally I have a few minutes to sort it out. Firstly, explaining why I don't have all that much time for this blog anymore. Essentially, I'm working three jobs, two of them full-time just to keep going along with my thesis. In addition to my all important, always comes first full-time gig, I'm writing, taking care of Kae Sun (who is getting increasingly busier thank the good dude) and doing some marketing for a company called Spoonfed, who are a wonderful website/listings guru in London. It's a lot of work, but all wonderful experience, but a lot of work. Oh, and plus I have a thesis to finish. Yup, damn school.

But a quick report on Iceland and Canada. I love Iceland. I'm not sure I could ever live there permanently, but I see myself visiting bi-annually, as its a place I cannot be all that far away from for too long. More often that not, Alice and I hung out with my friends in Iceland, drinking, going for lunch, coffee, walking around etc... I took a day and rented a car to do the Golden Circle but other than that, it was quite relaxing. We stayed at my boss' house, which is in the west part of downtown, sort of beside the Art Museum. It was fantastic, relaxing, uneventful, perfect.

Canada was more eventful. My mother just bought and moved, so a lot of my time was spent lifting boxes, putting things together and generally helping out. We went to my cottage in the north of Ontario and Niagara Falls, as well as went downtown for gigs with Jeffrey Lewis, Los Campesinos and Islands. Hung out a lot with friends, ate mostly good food (and a few suspicious meals) and again, tried to relax.

Now I'm back, snowed under. Lots of headway made this weekend, both organizationally and work-related, and now I'm hankering down thesis style to get things finished. I'm cutting the live gigs out, well to a minimum until Glastonbury, which is in a few weeks. I saw Lykke Li and Shout Out Louds last week. Both great but the former was much better than the latter.

More soon.

Here's some video:
