Birthday!

I turn 17 today, so I thought I'd make a little update on how this has improved my musical life (or, you know, something like that). First off, my aunt and her husband sent me a happy birthday card from Iceland with puffins on and it immediately sent my thoughts in the direction of the The Sugarcubes' 'Birthday'. Lovely Icelandic pop, featuring a young Björk, who, as always, shows off her perfect vocal antics.
In other news, in the gifts area, I got five CDs - '( )' by Sigur Rós (more Iceland!), 'The Reminder' by Feist, 'Deep Cuts' by The Knife, 'Disintegration' by The Cure and 'The Beatles' by The Beatles (better known as the white album). Some of them records I've heard and wanted, but haven't bothered buying and some completely new and undiscovered. Quite a good mix, I think. Also, I finally got a gramophone - time to start my vinyl collection, I guess.

On a last note: a friend of mine has called me the dancing queen an awful lot over the years. ABBA are definitely a guilty pleasure of mine and now my age finally fits with the lyrics! so there you go:
