Icelandic acoustic
A little more from Iceland today.
Have any of you ever tried ice climbing? Seriously fun.. I was like a Canadian stereotype, up there on the ice.
I also happened to have a Cuban cigar in my pocket. There’s nothing quite like blowing smoke rings on top of a glacier, looking out at the sea.
Today we’ll hear a track by Seabear off their 2007 Morr Music release, The Ghost That Carried Us Away.
I remember hearing these guys on the audioblogosphere a year or two ago. I like their simple, acoustic, happy sound. It’s good music for days like today when it’s raining outside and the sun is rising later and later.
You can grab it pretty much anywhere. Thumbs-up.
They also apparently have another album coming out later this year. I’ll keep an ear out.

Canadians have always had access to great Cuban cigars.
Maybe Iceland`s financial problems will encourage a `join Canada`movement.
We can always use another province, although hopes were for a hot Caribbean island.
But Ice is Nice too.

Where did you go for ice climbing ? I’m planning a trip soon. If you could share the name/website of the outfitter, that would be awesome too.
