Sigur Ros

This.

I can't wait for cobl to see them.

Expect a lengthy review post

 

[nielsgov]

Album reviews would be nice as well.

 

[cobl04]

Oh they will come, but I stopped about halfway through Takk to go to sleep and I don't remember any of it

 

[nielsgov]

Just listen to Agaetis. It's much better.

 

[joyfulgirl]

It would surprise me if they don't go back to the US next year.

This is what I'm clinging to. They didn't really do a proper tour here.

 

[nielsgov]

They just announced a "proper" European tour. Chances are they'll do the same for you guys.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

If they come back to the States, joyful, we are there. We'll make it an event.

 

[joyfulgirl]

It's a plan in the ethers waiting to manifest.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

I just bought the Valtari boat necklace.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Is anyone else going to see the Valtari film experiment? I just got my ticket to see it at the FilmBar here in Phoenix. I've already seen some of the films online but figured it will be worth it to see them on a big screen and hear this gorgeous album in a theater.

Ooooh, this sounds kind of cool. Is there a link that has dates in other cities?



EDIT: Nevermind. I just Googled it. Buying my tix now. Thanks, Heartland for the heads up!

 

[corianderstem]

Well, there's another thing I'll be missing thanks to my stupid trip home to WI.

[u2popmofo]

Still nothing here, dammit.

 

[joyfulgirl]

 

[nielsgov]

Most unexpected post ever.

 

[Imperor]

Hmm, signed up for presale access. Hopefully that pans out with some kick ass tickets. It'd be a great surprise for my old man since we saw them together in 2006.

 

[FitzChivalry]

 

[corianderstem]

Yeah, I thought about going to Denver for about 5 minutes before I realized that it was really not a wise move for me.

Will hope for something added later in the PNW.

 

[nielsgov]

New EP as well.

 

[LemonMelon]

I missed them at Lolla, so I'll try to go to the Chicago gig in April.

 

[cobl04]

They r so good lyv

 

[nielsgov]

They seem to convert casual/non fans into big fans easily.

 

[u2popmofo]

New EP as well.

Glad you mentioned this, that info wasn't out there when they announced the tour, I had no clue.

UPDATE: The band has announced that they are releasing a new, three-track EP on March 22. Every ticket purchase for the North American shows gets you a download of the EP.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Phoenix. YES.

 

[cobl04]

Here's the set they played on Sunday, looks like they didn't close with Untitled #8

Í Gær
Glósóli
Svefn-g-englar
Sæglópur
Hoppípolla
Með Blóðnasir

Four from Takk... no wonder I thought I recognised a few.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Popplagið is Unitiled #8

Nice set, Cobbz. I'm jealous of all you jerks who've heard Olsen Olsen live.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I'm jealous of all you jerks who've heard Olsen Olsen live.

Me, too. Maybe we'll get lucky in the spring.
