Really? I have no problem with hyperreal messages ending up in my inbox at gmail. Maybe it's because of the filters I have setup? I'm not sure... nick idm on-topic portion: what's the names of some good icelandic idm? there's just something about the "icelandic aesthetic" (don't ask me to explain what i mean by that) that i love. of course there's the biggies: mum, sigur ros, etc. i know of worm is green and love their debut album. any other suggestions?
