Everytime I search for Iceland&#39;s picture and all I get is this spectacular, breathtaking view. My girlfriend loves Switzerland, probably because of the snow-capped mountains&#160;and ranges, and yeah it&#39;s a very beautiful country, but Iceland takes the cake for being simply majestic. Speaking of which, my girlfriend thinks (generally) Icelandic people are eccentric. Well, yeah, I used to think that way too after having my first experience with Bjork. Then there is this &#39;to laugh or not to laugh&#39;&#160;comic book by an&#160;Icelandic cartoonist where my girlfriend and I came upon on a recent&#160;trip to Borders. But Sigur Ros were nothing short of being magical. And now there is another two new (and not-so-new) Iceland&#39;s export, Lovisa Elisabet a.k.a Lay Low and Bardi Johannsson a.k.a Bang Gang.</p> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00cd96fe45114cd500d41441b7a2685e" at:format="extra-large" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-extra-large photo-enclosure" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 10px auto;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item photo-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://burog.vox.com/library/photo/6a00cd96fe45114cd500d41441b7a2685e.html"><img src="http://a2.vox.com/6a00cd96fe45114cd500d41441b7a2685e-500pi" alt="Lovisa Elisabet (Lay Low)" title="Lovisa Elisabet (Lay Low)" /></a> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a href="http://burog.vox.com/library/photo/6a00cd96fe45114cd500d41441b7a2685e.html" title="Lovisa Elisabet (Lay Low)">Lovisa Elisabet (Lay Low)</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> <p>According to last.fm, &quot;Lay Low is the first and only Icelandic MySpace prodigy&quot;.
