"Guns of the South" by Harry Turtledove, Civil War... →

the label started as an idea.
then it became an idea with a website.
then it became a real LLC.
then we got our first artist.
then that artist finished an amazing album.
now, finally...

i went to meet cute girls.

Top 5 Reasons I Could Move To Iceland Right Now
1. Everyone speaks English, eliminating the need for me to have to learn a troublesome new language. And believe me, Icelandic is TROUBLESOME. I had a hard time even picking up the easy stuff like “How are you?”
2. Beautiful women with the best accents. Icelandic girls have a way of saying “yeah?” after everything you say. It’s like the equivalent of “Go...
Top 5 Reasons I Could Not Move To Iceland Right...
1. Serious lack of ice cubes/fountain soda. I never found a single soda fountain in Iceland. Let alone a 7-11 or a big gulp. In addition, I never received more than three ice cubes in any of the drinks I purchased. The ice problem is all over Europe, but this is ICELAND. It’s in your NAME! Hook it up!
