What's Icelandic for "stool pigeons?" Another benefit to being internationally acclaimed members of the creative overclass: indulging in iffy-sounding projects like photographing all the regulars at your neighborhood bar. Of course, it helps if you're Icelandic trio the Snorri Brothers (who've directed videos for bands like R.E.M. and the Streets), and the watering hole in question is Kaffibarinn, owned in part by Damon Albarn. The resulting mug shots, compiled in Barflies: Reykjavik, include shots of hipsters with knotty Nordic names too difficult to transcribe (much less pronounce). Case in point: Gudmundsdottir, though we admit you might know her better as Björk. BY JARED PAUL STERN BUY BARFLIES >>>>>
