12 THE REYKJAVÍK GRAPEVINE ICELAND AIRWAVES SPECIAL A Good Moon Deer Prepares WORDS BY HAUKUR S. MAGNÚSSON COLLAGE BY GOOD MOON DEER Guðmundur Úlfarsson, AKA Good Moon Deer, used to work as a designer here at the Grapevine, greatly enriching our little publication by lending his highly refined and disciplined visual aesthetic to our pages. When he was starting out, most of us were unaware that he also sought an outlet for his creative energy in music. However, upon seeing him on stage, the connection was astoundingly apparent. It’s hard to put into words, but Good Moon Deer’s music sounds almost exactly like you would imagine from observing Guðmundur's approach to design (he specializes in fonts). In the artist's hands, these two creative avenues almost directly mirror one another, the songs sometimes radiating an almost tangible visual quality, independent of whatever your eyes are trying to tell you. And this is entirely unrelated to the visual elements Guðmundur incorporates into his stage show. Again, it’s hard to explain. Upon learning that Guðmundur was planning an extra ambitious Good Moon Deer show for this year’s Airwaves - and having experienced how meticulously he plans and prepares for each and every performance - we thought it would be interesting to offer you readers a glimpse into his process. So we asked him to share how he’s preparing for his show. And he sent us the above image. The Pink Street Boy's Guide Getting Shitfaced In Reykjavík! WORDS BY AXEL BJÖRNSSON, PINK STREET BOY Getting drunk is great. I, for one, love getting drunk. In fact, I’m drunk right now. Whatever. Here are five places you can get hammered at in Reykjavík. Stop reading. Go get hammered. 1. Dillon Dillon is a good bar to start the night. The staff is nice, and it offers the best chance to get laid, if you like dancing to "Highway to Hell." 2. Húrra Húrra is probably the most hip place, with the best bar staff and the best beer on tap. It gets a little too crowded on weekends. Also, there’s no chance you’ll get laid there. Unless you get some, like, dance lessons before going on the hunt. 3. Paloma This is the place everyone goes when all the other places are closed. They employ some good people, and maintain a dark atmosphere. If the Russian Mafia wanted to hang out somewhere in Reykjavík, they’d probably go for Paloma's basement. 4. Ölsmiðjan Ölsmiðjan has the cheapest beer and the best music (lotsa Motown and old-skool pop hits). There’s no dance floor though. Yeah, it’s a good place to start the evening. 5. Bar 11 The dirtiest rock bar in town. It would be nice if they occasionally played some real rock music, though. But there are lots of rock chicks around. It’s a good place to get laid.
