DiS travels to Iceland to take in the sights and sounds of the 6th Annual Airwaves festival. Correspondent T. Judge ploughs through a diary of attractions and alcohol to give the gems and hits of the event...
Wooly hat – check, scarf – check, duty free Jack Daniel's – check, cameras – check, notepad – check, brand spanking new DiS banner – check. Welcome to Iceland, one of the most pure, serene landscapes this side of Hull. Every year since 1999, Iceland has held an event self proclaimed as 'bigger than Christmas' in which the hipsters of the North congregate in the Country's capital, Reykjavik, for a long weekend of music, geysers and debauchery. In October this year, DiS joined these Icelandic revellers for a second year to indulge in snow-capped musical treats. In addition, we had the pleasure of sponsoring the opening night of the festival.

Slightly off the point!
This really should be a clever comment on the state of music in this country, and how our Icelandic contempories, at times make our faces rather red!
However, I don't wanna say any of that!
I'm just chuffed to see a Lomo Cosmic Symbol camera as the lead image for this article!
Don't think, Just Shoot, anyone???
speaking of cameras...
there's a huge-e-mongus picture of me and oli on the iceland airwaves website in the crowd for architecture in helsinki (http://www.icelandairwaves.com/bitmaps/images/2005111016441250.org.JPG). i remember thinking that the bored girl clutching the rail would really piss me off, if there wasn't a man standing in front of me playing cow bells with a backscratcher in front of a mic. fucking a.
