Those subhumans, how they dance!  Would scare the bjiminy out of me if I
met them in the cornfield behind my house.  Yjikes!  And that sjhrieking!

(Good thing they didn't use anything quite this intense for the soundtrack
of "Signs"!)

There are fun things to explore at

Kathy asked about getting the CD "The Hamrahlid Choir" with a cappella
works by Nordal, Leifs, Sveinsson, and others.  The CD is #6-01 from ITM.
As I recall, I got that one at the airport; then later I ordered the
companion "Icelandic Folksongs" by the same choir (ITM 8-05) from
http://www.qualiton.com/ .  Another good one...but Qualiton seems not to
carry that label at the moment!

Here is ITM directly:

Maybe some more leads to ITM:

Anybody want to hear an Icelandic radio stream?

Gould content: would Gould have sat at a computer exploring this type of
thing?  A virtual trip to Iceland?  I vote yes.
