Good god I'm tired. This is why I'm not on AIM.

Bought a Sigur Ros CD today, as I threatened when Mel introduced me to them last night. I was getting all enthused about being obscure-music-girl (now that my friends know who Voltaire is, it's no fun anymore), but my sister had heard of them. Blah.

I don't know the name of the album; it's possibly self-titled. I can't tell. It has very little writing on it. It is all white, with some silver tree designs as the liner notes. Track 5 is ridiculously like Radiohead.

Much love for Sigur Ros, and another thumbed nose at RIAA: I would never have bought this if it weren't for the easy dissemination of MP3s.

No track listing, no liner notes, just ( ) on a white cover? That's ( ). Nobody knows how to say it, but I think it looks like a yoni symbol myself. It's Sigur Ros' third CD, and IMHO inferior to Von and Agaetis Byrjun, but still a very good listen.

That's the mustard.

*aaaaaahahahahaha* sam was just ranting at me about how everyone's like "oh sigur ros are so cool" etc etc and then i read this. :)

there's a reason why track 5 sounds like radiohead and it's not the reason you'd think - sigur ros toured with radiohead in Britain a few years back and blew thom yorke away... :D

Heh. Ah, the beauty of synchronicity.

Ah, cool. I didn't actually expect that Radiohead would have influenced SR; I assumed that was also synchronicity. :)
