Good Move for Bad Taste 21. ágúst 2006 15:53 gygygyg Smekkleysa or Bad Taste Records, founded by the Sugarcubes (for which Björk fronted), has now moved its base of operations and the Bad Taste Record Store and Gallery Lobster and Fame to Klapparstígur 27. Smekkleysa has introduced and produced countless bands, including having some of Iceland's best music, whether it be Sigur Rós, Björk or múm. Smekkleysa does not only have a great nose for talent but are also important contributors to Reykjavík's music scene. All summer long they have been hosting weekly concerts with the Reykjavík Grapevine newspaper, showcasing the hottest talent in their shop with a second concert the same day at Café Amsterdam. Featured bands have included Jan Mayen, Æla and the artist Bela. The concerts are every Thursday and will continue until September 7th. If you feel like shopping for Icelandic music, make beeline to Smekkleysa for the best of it, either live or to purchase before you go home. Of course, the biggest kick for some is looking at Björk's highly controversial fashion sense through the years. Still, musical diversity is not the only thing that sets Smekkleysa apart from mainstream stores; also of note is their collection relating to the founding of Smekkleysa and various connected memorabilia, contemporary music and Björk. The newest addition to their collection is Björk's Alexander McQueen-designed dress, worn in the video "Who Is It" from the album Medúlla. -mld Music and Nightlife News in English Mest lesið „Síðasta sem hann vildi var að það yrði til nýr Stefán Blackburn” Innlent Saknaði þess að fá ekki einu sinni tölvupóst eftir fjörutíu ára starf Innlent Ákærður fyrir að nauðga barni frá því að það var tveggja ára Innlent „Honum var kastað til hliðar eins og hverju öðru drasli“ Innlent „Enginn engill“ en heldur ekki morðingi Innlent Verjandi Lúkasar: „Þetta er bissness, þetta er viðskiptahugmynd“ Innlent Afhjúpaði eigin njósnara á X Erlent Líkur á hellidembu, þrumum og eldingum suðvestantil Veður Sviptir Harris vernd Erlent Lýsa yfir vantrausti á Sönnu og segja hana ætla að stofna nýjan flokk Innlent
