Intro:
Leif Eiriksson.  Viking.  Discoverer of new worlds.  Craig.  American?  Discoverer of old world pubs.  Not since Babe Ruth and Sammy Sosa have two lives from different eras mirrored each other so eerily.  Leif began his great pillaging journey from Denmark, discovered Iceland and continued on to America.  Nearly 1000 years later, Craig arrived in Denmark to begin his much shorter journey through Iceland and back to America.




Sigur Ros CD
Agaetis Byrjun CD
Agaetis Byrjun , an Icelandic band that toured America's clubs in 2001, is one of my favorites right now.  This is their first major label CD and is a sonic masterpiece!  Don't be put off by the 1 month wait for the CD to be delivered because you can't find it in any stores.

See craig's recommendations for guide books, music and related books on Denmark and Iceland.  There are links on all of the subsequent pages.  Enjoy.
