Califone sound like they grew up listening to Sparklehorse; a terrible way to grow up but fine once you are grown.

Those are the only things I know about Iceland. And So then boom ! They put the hunk of salt crusted fish in a pot of water, and the next thing you know it's on the dinner table , and everyone is stuffing their faces, talking, laughing, high five-ing each other, dancing to some up tempo sugarcubes song, etc. But what I want to know is, isn't that fish kinda salty tasting?

Avalon Emerson giving me heavy Spooky-era Lush vibes. Love the cello.

Oh that's a great pull. Also some School of Seven Bells, I'm just realizing.

Last.fm tells me I've listened to "Frosted Tips" at least 13 times but I have no idea what that is. I say this to both sooth your possessive soul and make you mad at me I guess?

Ha. It's probably on a playlist you've clicked on. Worth a deep dive, if you have the inclination. A few of my faves: "Vampiring Again", "Funeral Singers", "Sunday Noises" and "2 Sisters Drunk on Each Other".
