Who Runs the World?

Hey there, beloved High Five Club members and prospective members,

It's your friends at the Reykjavík Grapevine (Si apre in una nuova finestra), popping back into your inbox with a hello and to bring you the latest reads from our mag and news from Iceland.

FROM THE MAG

Krakkaveldi poses at Althingi

How did a journalist’s haircut morph into the Grapevine’s April edition being hijacked by a collective of kids? Well, to understand that you have to understand Krakkaveldi, or Kidarchy, a performance project that puts kids in the driver’s seat to do all kinds of wild and amazing things that kids don’t typically get the opportunity to do. Iryna Zubenko spoke with the kids and the grown ups behind Kidarchy for our April feature — read it online now (Si apre in una nuova finestra).

Krakkaveldi journalist visiting Holmsheidi Prison

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like working in a prison, you’re in luck. We sent a 12-year old to speak with prison guard Ari Hjálmarsson about his job and what life is like for the residents. Read Brynja’s dispatch from Hólmsheiði prison (Si apre in una nuova finestra).

Other weekend reading from the Grapevine

EXTRA! EXTRA! 

LISTEN UP

It’s been a heck of a week. Thursday was a holiday marking the first day of summer in the old Norse calendar, so we all had a day off to enjoy the shockingly beautiful weather. But then the nation was slapped back to reality by having to wake with their alarms to go to work or school today. But hey, it’s Friday for real now and there is a whole bunch of new Icelandic music to bop into the weekend with.

Read about (and listen to) the new music streaming at Grapevine HQ in our weekly new music dispatch (Si apre in una nuova finestra).

Have you listened to the Grapevine’s weekly music podcast yet? It’s got a new name — 66 Degrees of Sound (Si apre in una nuova finestra) — and a new episode out today. Give it a listen (Si apre in una nuova finestra)!

That's it from us this week. As always, thanks for your support.
