The band that some of killing joke (Jaz and someone else-maybe whatsisname from Brilliant) fled to Iceland to hang out with were called "Peyr". I've always heard the band's name pronounced "Theyr", which leads me to believe that the name uses one of those nice letters that the Roman Leveller Alphabet doesn't have. The name is Icelandic for "thaw", I think. They have at least one indie LP out. You should check out your back issues of OP or OPtion for articles on Iceland. Methinks there was one written by an Icelander. I'll be doing an interview with Harold Budd for OPtion in the next couple of weeks. We'll be talking about the new album of his and probably about the Cocteau Twins. If any of you has anything you'd like to ask the guy, drop me a line. I talked to him a little last night on the phone. Nice guy, talks in sentences and paragraphs. Has guns. Watches the Raiders. And makes lovely music. I'll post the thing when it's all over.
