Another milestone is this post of the 100. Song of the Week. I've chosen an old song, "Poppaldin" of the indie rock band Maus.
The band was formed in 1993 by Birgir Örn Steinarsson (Biggi), vocalist & guitarist, Daníel Þorsteinsson (Danni, "Krei-C"), drummer, Eggert Gíslason, bass player, and guitarist Páll Ragnar Pálsson (Palli). They have been supporting act for Placebo, Keane, Ash, Ian Brown & Coldplay.
Members are now involved in several other music projects: Fræ (Palli's band), Sometime (Danni's band) and Biggi made a Solo Album.
Song of the 100. Week is taken from their Album "Lof Mér Að Falla Að Þínu Eyra" (1997). Roger O'Donnell of The Cure fame, was a guest keyboardist on this album.

I found this blog mentioned in the Iceland Online Mini Guide - Made by Nanna Árnadóttir & Published on Saturday @ http://www.icelandreview.com/
> Daily Life (21. February)
I Heart Icelandic Music:
Is another well-known and excellent blog that essentially stalks the Icelandic music scene. If there is an Icelandic artist that interests you chances are you can find out about them and or read an interview with them on this blog. It also announces tour dates and posts videos of live gigs around Reykjavik.
