Sigur Ros

[diamond]

I think Sigor's music is so beautiful to listen to. some of it is quiet and gentle, while others appear emotionally powerful.
I will get this new one.

:

me too.

The album is streaming on Last FM as well...

Can't decide if I'll check it out or not. For now I think I'll wait.

 

[phanan]

Now that I heard Festival and loved it, I'm going to wait for the whole thing.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I've only listened to it a couple of times now but I would rank it currently as my second favorite album after Takk...

 

[phanan]

Well that just makes waiting more difficult.

 

[u2popmofo]

How dare you hype me even more than I'm already hyped, Elfa?!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

<--- hype machine

 

[coemgen]

I listened to the stream. It's a great piece of work. It's different — especially the first half. Very acoustic. I like "Festival" and "Með suð ? eyrum," and some others, but those stuck out.

 

[Ava79]

Wow, I'm listening to the stream and I have to say that Með suð ? eyrum við spilum endalaust might just become my favourite Sigur Rós album. I really, really like this acoustic sound. And I really, really want to move back to Iceland again.

 

[joyfulgirl]

My internet has been down at home so I have had the temptation to listen to the stream removed from me as an option. Could be fixed tonight...will I or won't I?

 

[GibsonGirl]

I think I'm going to hold out for this one. New Sigur Rós + hi fi system = heaven.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I am still master of my domain but feeling weak.

 

[u2popmofo]

Me too. I'm almost tempted to just listen to the stream and then just buy it in the store when it's out (as it's cheaper than the pre-order price).

Am I a terrible person? They've already gotten major money out of me for the deluxe edition of Heima and the complete discography on vinyl set thing.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I've already ordered the thing so it's no big deal to listen to the stream. You know you're going to buy it, so it's also no big deal. I just feel like if I wait until I get what I paid for, I will give it my deeper attention. I guess it's silly to wait, but it's also fun. In a silly way.

I completely agree.

In a silly way.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I've got the download.

I've listened a couple of times and am really enjoying it. More later, after a few more listens.

 

[u2popmofo]

Already?! I am actually listening to it for my first time on Last FM right now as I type....

 

[joyfulgirl]

Already?!

Well, it was in my mailbox when I woke up, and I had the day off.

And the verdict is in.

It's stunning.

 

[u2popmofo]

And the verdict is in.

It's stunning.

Verdicts like this are why we're internet friends.

 

[got_edge]

What's with the Mogwai avatar? New record out??

 

[u2popmofo]

End of September. I like to start my hyping early.


What are everyone's fav new Sigur songs? As of now, Inni mér syngur vitleysingur is probably my fav from the album.

 

[got_edge]

Haven't heard it yet

 

[phanan]

I haven't heard it yet, either. I'm tempted to wait until I get the CD.

 

[u2popmofo]

You've both made me feel Sigur Bad for listening to the Last FM stream.


I watched Life Aquatic again this weekend and wanted to mention again how much I love hearing Staralfur at the dramatic moment.

 

[got_edge]

Did you cry again?

 

[u2popmofo]

OMG, so much!

So Sigur Sad

 

[got_edge]

Just pretend this is embedded: Sigur Rós - Bonnaroo - Gobbledigook

(You can find all the other Bonn stuff on YouTube)

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

i Inni mér syngur vitleysingur... try saying that three times fast...

I watched Life Aquatic again this weekend and wanted to mention again how much I love hearing Staralfur at the dramatic moment.

I like watching the otherwise not-so-good Vanilla Sky for the same reason.

I don't know what my favorite song is yet. I burned a copy for the car this morning but then left it on the table. I won't have a favorite until the car test.

It was amusing that I kept waiting to hear Jonsi sing in English last night only to realize that his English sounds a lot like his Icelandic/Hopelandic so I kept missing it.

I thought the same thing. I couldn't understand any of the "English".
