Friday Fun: Barack Obama vs. Ólafur Arnalds
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater November 25th, 2011

This definitely counts as one of the most disturbing things we've seen in our time, but nevertheless combines one of our greatest passions with...well, The President of the United States of America. I'm not sure how - or why - anybody would come up with the idea for this. But anyway, it's Ólafur Arnalds' 'Þú Ert Sólin' and Barack Obama reading Psalm 46 united in musical matrimony.

No, we're still baffled. But it is quite soothing.
