Harpa, and a link, and a edit!!

-Edit: I apparently totally forgot to explain: "Why "Harpa"  " xD
On the 22nd of april Icelanders celebrate the coming of spring with the official "First day of summer". Almost every single Icelander has at some point thought to him/herself  "Who the fuck got the idea of having the first day of summer IN APRIL". Well, you see, the origin of this celebration is this: In the old icelandic calendar what now is 22nd of may was then the first day of the old icelandic month Harpa. So, the summer starts in the month of Harpa and  the month is celebrated as it comes. Therefor we have a celebration on the first of Harpa, the month of spring. But oh-noes! We now have a different calendar paired up with an old calendar-based celebration :/ What do we do? We keep the date of the celebration ('cause you don't just CHANGE tradition) and instead of shouting "Harpa, the month of summer is here" we freeze our asses off downtown celebrating "The first day of summer" xD

Hello good people!
The playlist for Harpa is up and running. To listen to our chosen tunes for this month simply press the play button on our mini-player on the right hand side of this site.
If the first song isn't exactly your style, just hit next and listen to a song I just recently discovered. It's really cool and the electric piano keeps my foot tapping throughout the whole song.

Harpa:
  • Dude I Totally Miss You(you know who you are) - Tenacious D
  • Ruby Tuesday - The Rolling Stones
  • Venus - Shocking Blue
If you want to see last month's playlist you can find it here.
If you want to get your own playlist go to singingbox.org.
If you want to download individual tunes I personally recommend BeeMP3.com.
If you want to waste some time you can check out this site.

Enjoy!
