Sigur Ros' Studio

Back to October 1st.

Frosti picked us up again at 830 and drove us around town to see some of the government buildings and historical spots to make sure we didn't miss anything while walking around.

Bjork's house was included in this drive which was cool but she lives alongside a major road so we couldn't stop to take pictures.

As we head out of town, he let me know that he found out where Sigur Ros' studio was and if we wanted he'd take us to see it.

For those of you that don't know. I LOVE THIS BAND! Cinematic soundscapes that seriously pull at my soul in so many great ways. Check 'em out if you haven't heard them. The Album Leaf just finished their new album there as well.

I was content enough to just be outside of the studio. Next door is a wool factory that makes Icelandic sweaters so we popped in to check it out and when we came back out a guy was standing next to the door. I didn't notice him until Frosti went up to talk to him and it ended up being Sigur Ros' sound engineer. We were introduced and he allowed me to go in and take pictures! Insane! If the band had showed up I think I would have cried like a little girl at a friggin' Sanjaya performance. Sad!
