Sigur Ros go insane

Hearty congratulations were extended all round. Their press agent, once notified, could hardly contain herself. It was shaping up to be another great year for Roger Waters In Disgui...er, Sigur Ros.

Heh. Friend of mine prefers 'Moody Blues' in that equation. To me they're like an angel food cake with way too much frosting. Give me In the Nursery!

Sean's equation however is absolutely OTM for reasons of both personal profit and preference, therefore the new Sigur Ros which I probably won't ever hear is GRATE

Oh, please ... give Mr. Waters a little more credit than that (pompous ass though he can be).

Used to comment that "Sigur Ros" was Icelandic for "Clannad." Apparently I was wrong -- it's Icelandic for "Magma."

LIKE I SAID. ;-)

So they're barking mad? Fantastic! Even better! Clearly they all adore me and have competitions to see who gets to paint my toesnails. This is all that is important to me, really.

I'm glad they've dispensed with song titles, though. Cause all that Icelandic was unpronouncable anyway, and I never remember song titles anyway, I tend to call songs things like "Side 1, song 3" anyway.

Mmmmmm, Sigur Ros. I think their keyboardist has won the "paint Kate's toenails" competition tonight.

Jonsi would only adore you if you had a sex change operation.

They adore me. Clearly. I mean, they're trying SO HARD to get my attention that they MUST!

my ex-girlfriend and i spent a day in their studio w/ them (for a story - she was my 'photographer') and they were all v. nice, esp. jonsi, whom she thought might have had a little crush on me.

all this griping abt. no song titles is much ado abt nothing - like any of us could properly pronounce agaetis byrjun ANYWAY you pedantic...

I couldnt care for song titles anyways, its not like I could pronounce Svenf G Englar in the first place and even that song I didn't bother instead reffering to it as:
Itchy Woooooooooooooooooooo song.

NPR guy tries to interview Sigur Ros without realizing what they were like in interviews. Hilarity, as they say, ensues.

already a thread on ILE, check I am soooo uncomfortable -- NPR and Sigur Ros bring you the WORST INTERVIEW EVER!

but yea it's pretty tortuous

Àgaetís Byrjun [Fat Cat, 2001]
Once there was a sensitive, conceited young fellow named Jonsi Birgisson who lived on a permafrost island surrounded by a cold, dark sea. Jonsi was a well-meaning person who loved music, and he yearned to put more warmth in the world even though he wasn't exactly sure what warmth was. Not just "throwing an electric blanket on the corpse of electronica," that he knew. Jonsi longed to blaze "inspired new avenues in sonic landscapes," to deliver "shamelessly tear-stained epics" in "the falsetto cadence of angels," to turn "4AD-styled, sepia-toned instrumental passages" into "awe-inspiring new-religious mantras." Stuff like that. He did all this and more on a thematically linked work where some of the sonic landscapes were entrancing (although not warm). Because he was conceited, sometimes he would announce that these soundscapes were destined to change musical history, and then sometimes mean people would make fun of him. But he always had the perfect retort. "You have to admit I'm smarter than Enya," he would say. And about that he was certainly right. B
