"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" - "Nevermind"

Magni and Birgitta Haukdal

OK, that was sweet, let's wash that out with this hard hitting guitar guy - oh yeah, it's still Magni:
Doing the Beatles:

Doing Nirvana:

Interview with the Iceman coming up in January.

Well, I am Excited

Taylor Hicks Idol Blues blogstress, and blogcritics.org sometime contributor, may get an early Christmas present. I know I have been sometimes naughty so perhaps all I will get is a lump of coal, but here's hoping...

I covered "Rock Star: Supernova" for Reality TV Calendar and blogcritics.org during the last season run. I tried to be completely unbiased but wound up becoming a big fan of Magni Ásgeirsson the rocker from Iceland. I intuitively knew that Lukas Rossi was the hand-picked winner by Tommy Lee, the master of disaster. Even Lukas has saved a bit of one of my pieces on his website. It is here. Rossi indeed a talent unto himself, but Magni my favorite of the talented group assembled for this really entertaining show put together by Mark Burnett.

This is one of my favorite tunes Magni performed:
"Dolphin's Cry":


I loved Nirvana, I'm a huge closet grunge junkie but detested any band who dared tried to cover Kurt Cobain; it was pure travesty.
Until Magni:
"Smells Like Teen Spirit":

"Heroes"
This tune exemplifies Magni's grace, talent and why "Supernova" the Rockstar band failed - stupid band head honcho. Magni is blazingly sexy, a complete musician, an Artist.:


Being the on-line participant I can be with these reality music shows - the only reality shows I care about - I lived on the Rock Star Boards. (Research for articles of course...) I found myself writing on Magni's 'blog' weekly like a fangurly fangurl. I embarrass myself, seriously. One of the weeks the fans were to campaign for a song for each performer to, well, perform, I made a huge on-line board push for this song. (Sort of the way I rallied for Taylor Hicks to do "In The Ghetto" on Elvis week.) I thought it a real 'winner' for that week. It was.
"Hush"


This is one of my favorite new tunes from Magni on his new album. It's heady, sexy, emotional, dramatic and full of deep soul. This video was taken during a practice session.

"Sing for the Moment"

I am not sure what my fascination with Marshall Mathers is, but sometimes I gotta have me some Eminem.

I think it's his fucking brilliant attitude.
It's all political, if my music is literal and i'm a criminal,
How the fuck can i raise a little girl?
I couldn't. i wouldn't be fit to
You're full of shit too, Guerrera, that was a fist that hit you!
Complete lyrics: "Sing for the Moment"
I can't explain it, I just have to run with it sometimes.
"I Alone"
...and I love this man:

...but this is to You-Know-Who:
it's easier not to be wise
and measure these things by your brains
I sank into Eden with you
alone in the church by and by
I'll read to you here, save your eyes
you'll need them, your boat is at sea
your anchor is up, you've been swept away
and the greatest of teachers won't hesitate
to leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate

Magni, "When the Time Comes"

Gorgeous.

It's Teen Spirit - Magni Allowed

I got another reminder tonight that in a few short weeks my Gorgeous releases his tunes to the US - OCTOBER 2nd - fangirly squee!!!!

I, at one point, had decided to HATE any band who tried to ever think about doing Kurt Kobain.


I mean Nirvana, you think you can do Nirvana? It's a ridiculous phallas fallacy to even think any band today can give Nirvana just due.
Until Gorgeous.


No words, pure cream.

Magni Asgierrson: New Tunes Hitting US

My recent update from Magni has him letting me(well all fans who subscribe to the man, but I'll just go with 'me' - sounds more special) know his self titled solo album "Magni" will be available in all digital shops in US on October 2nd. He says this late date is due to the fact that he and his team want to do "this" right.

He says. "I´m extremely pleased this is finally happening and I just hope that 'you guys' can wait a few more days/weeks. He lets me know that on the Icelandic front - his album is number 1, that's for a second week in a row and so is the single."

Man, I'm glad to hear it, I miss this guy's great voice and positive artistic endeavors in music. He's a great 'find' and "Gorgeous" to boot.

Glad he finally got his laid back Icelandic ass in gear and is getting this music out!
Here's my "Gorgeous" in one of his Rock Star videos: (this is a special request I suggested to him on his Rock Star blog during the show)

This is why he's one of my "Heroes":

This is some "Plush"

Time for Magni: "Clocks":

My "Starman":
]
First time I saw Magni do this tune I was "meh" but man, it grows on you.
He's Not "Alone":

Lastly, my Gorgeous Man is no "Creep":

Damn this is one sexy man.
