Talk:The Sugarcubes

message: I've heard only a few of their songs, but the one about the motorcrash seems to fit the "whimsical, heartfelt" description in the article.  Anyway, could this assertion be shored up with some brief examples, and maybe some counterexamples?  Koyaanis Qatsi 03:13 16 Jun 2003 (UTC)
:Whimsical describes most of Icelandic rock, and any good music is heartfelt.  I left both of those in, though, because they are at least somewhat objective.  I removed the creative compositions because that is totally subjective, and should be replaced with something more specific about how their music and/or lyrics was innovative Tuf-Kat
:I've heard that their name is a reference to LSD.  Anyone know if this is true? (cultural context: in the US, LSD is illegally sold by placing a drop of the drug in liquid form on a sugar cube; hence, sugar cubes, along with tabs (LSD on paper) and drops (LSD in liquid form), is one of the methods of distribution).  Tuf-Kat
About your doubt, I’ve heard that the Sugarcubes got their name when Einar Örn said, the new band had to have the most ridiculous or strange name, and that’s how they named it Sykurmolarnir (Icelandic for Sugarcubes) and they even appeared a couple of times with their Icelandic name, until it was ultimately translated in order to pursue for international recognition. I will rewrite this article latter. Luis María Benítez 22:34, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: "Icelandic for Sugarcubes"? I love Wikipedia. Where else would I see that? But I don't see the city they were formed in...  Trekphiler 06:20, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd guess Reykjavik, since the Smoky Bay is where most of its main members seem to have been bord or working. Btw, I don't really think Iceland has any "cities". 81.232.72.53 11:35, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed (on both counts), but I was trying to be polite, & trying not to introduce myths & mistakes.  Trekphiler 11:54, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
