First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Feb 22, 2002 5:59am PSTRunning on empty... update Jack - Ok, screw that. The Olympics had some really great moments last night, I hope everyone got to see them. I'm not a fan of figure skating by any means, but what happened last night with Sarah Hughes was nothing short of amazing. Basically, she was coming into competition in fourth place overall and the third place American. Well yesterday she and her trainer beefed up her program both techincally and artistically and kept working at it. Well last night, she skated her ass off, Michelle Kwan and the Russian chick had some screwups in their performances, and she ended up with gold! Everyone loves rooting for an underdog, and with all of the ridiculous amount of press on Michelle Kwan, while I feel bad for her in probably her last Olympics, it was refreshing to see the American nobody really expected to take a chance and win. Kind of shows the American spirit and all that jazz. Oh and here's something neat. Movie: Let that be a lesson to you, boys and girls. Don't ever argue with the big dog, because the big dog is always right.

nomaad's Icelandic MP3 of the week
Hello there. This will be the second Icelandic mp3 that I post here on the Shack. The first one was by Pan and the song is called Pressure, and the post right here: http://www.shacknews.com/funk.y?id=2978678
The mp3 of the week is:
Ulpa - Skurdur a thumli
http://www.itn.is/~ovo/Ulpa%20-%20Skurdur%20a%20thumli.mp3
(12,8 MB 7:01mins@256KB CBR)
Heh, I guess the name won't make much sense to you guys, but that doesn't really matter as this song is purely instrumental.
Just as with Pan, I saw Ulpa in a concert a few months back and they are undoubtedly one of the best bands here in Iceland today. Their album, Mea Culpa (latin for 'I am to blame'), was released on October 12th 2001. It's already a platinum album here in Iceland (BTW, you only need to sell 5000 copies to make it to platinum over here :) and they absolutely deserve it.
The band was formed over two years ago, and they've warmed up for a number of known bands and individuals, such as: Trans Am, Stephen Malkmus, Blonde Redhead and Mogwai.
That is all for this week. Next week I'll definitely put up a track by Sigur Ros. The track is off a rare EP that they did with Steindor Andersen, a famous rhymesayer here in Iceland.

She says that's fine and we keep talking. A while goes by and she gives me her home #, no strings attatched. Never phonesexored a "pro" before. it was kinda fun. I'm just wondering if it's pathetic or cool that i got it for free.
