When last we checked in with Icelandic songstress Leoncie, she had a few albums out and a killer Website plugging her music. Well, the site's gone now, but a couple months ago she discovered the wonder of YouTube, so now we've got a load of Leoncie music videos to check out.
It's hard to pick a favorite, but I'm partial to "Killer in the Park", a terrifying story of a stalker in the park where Leoncie goes jogging. Fortunately Scotland Yard is on the case (apparently they hold jurisdiction over murder investigations in Icelandic jogging parks), and the guy is busted. All this while Leoncie sings a jaunty little song!
As one of the posters on the YouTube page of this video says, Leoncie "really captures the upbeat, happy-go-lucky lifestyle of a serial killer."
I can't wait until Bjork remixes this...
...and is it me or would this be a great number for next year's Hoof & Mouth?

Killer keyboard solo. Yeah, rock on!

I just watched all of her Youtube videos. I am converted! She's just like Leslie Hall but without irony. Now if only Basshunter would do a techno remix of Sex Crazy Cop, I'd be in heaven!

Leoncie and WFMU come together! Two of my favorite things!
I love how in her song "Invisible Girl" she sings the line "I'm a naughty girl" and puts her hands up next to her head like they're antlers. She must have seen some horny reindeer in Iceland.
Some people crab about her because they're used to prepackaged crap. She truly is an excellent singer and composer.

I have actually been to a Leoncie gig here in Iceland. It was great. It was this really small place called Prikd (The Stick) and she was on after Eurovision had been televised. She was up on this rather high stage so you could see under her very short dress. That Made me happy. I miss her.

Arigradi is a Phony connected to bjork and her crappy family.
He lies about his desperate wish to get Leoncie Free at his crappy golden lion in crappy kings cross. he must have had 2 kgs of crack before he wrote his crappy comment.
The only crap he can get is bjork for free, since she lives on tax payers money permanently in iceland and everybody knows that and are afraid to talk about it, because they are an icelandic gangster family.
