Yesterday, in its daily poll, VH1.com posed this question:

The Swedish band the Cardigans are
hard at work on a new album.
What country is the coolest rock spot?

1. Iceland
2. Sweden
3. New Zealand


The results: Sweden 45%; New Zealand 37%; Iceland 8%

Huh? Is there a current pop/rock music scene in Zild ready to burst upon the world like the British Invasion of yore? If there is a Kiwi Invasion in the makings, I haven't heard of it. CapK...got anything on this?
Will Zildean culture, then, be the next great world fad?

And are we ahead of the curve because we know what Zild means?

No, no. The two statements are disjoint! What it really asks is which of these three pseudo-volcanic countries' magma flow has congealed the most? Iceland comes last cos it's still active.

Think along the lines of Constantinople is a long word. How do spell it?

Aw, hell. This is wordplay and fun, isn't it??

Culture? Wazzat? Um, do you mean they've bloody well gone and developed one while I've been away? Bastards!
