taken from the 2001 sigur rós tour ep (with steindór andersen as guest vocalist) this song is one of my all time favourites.

sigur rós + steindór andersen: hugann seiða svalli frá: mp3: 6minutes: 6,9mb

taken in dublin last december. raining there then as it is here in helsinki now.

within the space of a month or so (with today being near enough to the centre of that month) there is three film festivals on here in helsinki (espoo ciné, doc point and rakkautta & anarkiaa). i love going to the cinema but with so much going on i just cant get my mind into the frame of mind of searching for good movies, going to see those movies non stop for a few days… so i just ignored the three festivals (with the exception of one documentary perhaps).

instead im going to try at least check out some of the events in the “helsinki design week” that goes on in late september / early october. thats it.

just listening to rté radio 1 morning news. they were having a live report from a small school in the west of ireland – one of only 14 (primary) schools left in ireland that just one teacher. this school has been in operation since 1822 and at the moment it has 3 students (aged between 4 and 9 or so). today was the first day of the school term and they (they being the teacher and the radio presenter) were waiting to see how many new students would arrive.

at the end of the news programme the reporter came back and said that one new student had turned up.
