About

This blog is for projects associated with “Þórir frá Kaliforníu” (“Thor from California”). I’m generally more concerned with concepts and ideas than any specific medium, so I dabble across the gamut. I enjoy collaborating with people. I see project oriented living as preferable over career oriented living. I would like to see a larger culture of mutual cooperation and active resistence.

Just Another Snake Cult musical output

My musical pet projects also goes by the name Just Another Snake Cult. Though I prefer not to box myself in musically, I will say that I am a longtime believer in the aesthetics and ideology of home-recording and DIY.

Just Another Snake Cult Nihilist Sunshine Outreach Program

Soon to be released is an EP of DIY nihilist sunshine pop, sprinkled with bits of freakbeat, synthpop, and psychedelia. Evocations of wonder, adventure, triumph, and existential terror. Equal parts Friedrich Nietzsche, Brian Wilson, and Air.

Just Another Snake Cult Anarcho-Technopop Troupe

Death to rock and roll. More on this later…

Reykjavik Bootleg Series

As I’ve been living in downtown Reykjavik, go to shows regularly, and have the equipment and knowhow to do this, I’ve begun to bootleg shows here. Though Iceland is well known for its export bands – Bjork, Mum, Sigur Ros, etc. – it also has a lively, and much more varied local music scene. Through this series I will highlight some the exciting and beautiful sounds the occur here by posting occasional tracks for your listening pleasure from local live performances.

Reykjavik Foot Not Bombs

Every Saturday morning at 11:15AM we meet up to wash, chop, and cook food in non-heirarchical cooperation, which is then at 2:00PM or shortly thereafter served at the Laekjatorg square in downtown Reykjavik. Part demonstration against the waste inherent in our consumer society, part statement against the military-industrial complex, part cost-free nourishment in the form of warm, nutritious, and delicious vegan cuisine. Participation is open to all who are interested. Get in touch if you’d like to get involved.
