Sigur Ros

So .... 21:00 UK time is .... 1:00 pm Pacific time? Yes? I think?

I almost forgot about this. Thank goodness for following Sigur Ros on Twitter. Now my Sunday will revolve around watching a concert online, and not the Packer game online.

.... does Sigur Ros go well with chips and salsa?

It starts in 20 minutes, dear.

 

[corianderstem]

But .... that's like 10:30ish. How did I lose a half hour from 21:00 UK time?

 

[joyfulgirl]

I vote for coffee and a muffin rather than chips and salsa.

Sigur Ros starting in 10 minutes, people.

Bat for Lashes set was brilliant. Can't wait for the new album.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Yeah, really enjoyed that.

I'm so confused. Guess I'll go hook up my laptop to the TV and hope for no buffering issues!

 

[joyfulgirl]

Um, I think mofo lied.

 

[corianderstem]

This is not Sigur Ros.

Joyfulgirl mofo has misled us!

Their tweet and their site said 21:00 UK time, so they must be on a bit later. I still don't know what time that is ... I can't remember how many hours I am behind them. 8 or 9?

 

[joyfulgirl]

It's mofo's fault. I didn't check his math.

 

[corianderstem]

I was going to say ... I know there's a big time difference, but 21:00 doesn't remotely translate to anything-thirty in the US.

 

[Slapnutz]

90 minutes away.

 

[u2popmofo]

Yeah, they changed the time on their site. Jerks.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Sorrrrrrry.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Yeah, they changed the time on their site. Jerks.

Riiiight.

 

[corianderstem]

(It said 21:00 yesterday. )

Anyway. Thanks for the "90 minutes" answer, although I'm still confused, because according to some online time converter, it would either be 1 or 2 here in Seattle, and 90 minute from now is noon.

And I can't figure out which, because I can never remember if we're IN daylight-savings time or NOT in it. I just know we spring forward and fall back, but never remember how that translates, re standard time and daylight savings.

I fail at time conversion.

 

[joyfulgirl]

21:00 doesn't remotely translate to anything-thirty in the US.

I just saw 11:30 mountain time and clung to it.

 

[u2popmofo]

Maybe when you looked at the link, not when I posted it.

EDIT: Yup, just checked their Facebook update I took it from, and they updated the time there too with a big "UPDATE" wording.

 

[corianderstem]

Gotcha. I guess I'll just leave this plugged in and check back in a while.

The fall back time changed at some point under the Bush administration so it's later than it used to be. DST ends the first week in November.

 

[Slapnutz]

Just to clarify. It's 6:43 PM here in the UK. Sigur Ros are on at 9:00 PM.

So I was wrong too.

 

[corianderstem]

Ah, thanks.

 

[Slapnutz]

We got there in the end.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I'm concerned about everyone's math acuity. I mean, I expect this in the US, but I'm disappointed in you, Slapnutz.

 

[Slapnutz]

Hey, I'm still recovering from the Bat for Lashes set. Cut me some slack!

 

[corianderstem]

I used to be really good at time zones! I'm still very good at the US zones, although the mountain time zone confuses me, because I can never remember which states are in it. And then you have the states that don't participate in daylight savings time, which is just really irritating when trying to figure out what time is acceptable to place a call to that employee in that state without waking them up.

Enjoying Florence and the Machine's set.

 

[u2popmofo]

Uh... New Order?

 

[corianderstem]

*looks at watch*

*looks at TV*

*looks at watch again*

*sigh*

Edit: Oh, that's why he sounds so familiar! I can get behind watching New Order.

 

[u2popmofo]

Yeah, here's their Facebook update:

tomorrow at 9pm (uk time) you can watch the sigur rós performance live from Bestival via youtube! see you there!

update! stream is now at 9pm UK time!
UPDATE: THE STREAM FROM BESTIVAL WILL NOT BE TAKING PLACE - SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED.


New Order opens a show with a Joy Division cover? Guess that's saying something about which group was the more popular...

 

[joyfulgirl]

Um, Sigur Ros site now says:

update: it appears that the bestival stream will not be taking place – we apologise for inconvenience caused
