[Plug_in_coldplaying]

and there's also a fifth album by the way, which was realesed in 1998 after Von and its basically a remix album of Von and called Von Brigði (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Brig%C3%B0i).

look at the track listing:

"Syndir Guðs (Recycled by Biogen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biogen))" – 6:55
"Syndir Guðs (Recycled by múm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BAm))" – 4:52
"Leit Að Lífi (Recycled by Plasmic)" – 5:26
"Myrkur (Recycled by Ilo (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ilo_%28artist%29&action=edit))" – 5:29
"Myrkur (Recycled by Dirty–Bix)" – 5:01
"180 Sekúndur Fyrir Sólarupprás (Recycled by Curver (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curver))" – 3:00
"Hún Jörð (Recycled by Hassbræður)" – 5:19
"Leit Að Lífi (Recycled by Thor)" – 5:32
"Von (Recycled by GusGus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GusGus))" – 7:24
"Leit Að Lífi (Recycled by Sigur Rós (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigur_R%C3%B3s))" – 5:02 so its only 1 Sigur Ros song... wouldnt buy it :P
i hope you will upload it

[burningmonk]

at least i hope its on the top 3


I guess it is :uhoh:

[tams]

[Redundancy]

Almost the weekend :dance::dance::dance:

We all know what that means....me getting VON!

Von? :thinking:

[anniep_93]

Yes I decided to buy that instead lol...

[Redundancy]

hmm.. why? :P i mean Agaetis Byrjun and ( ) are better.. Von is weird.. good weird but still weird. wouldnt recommend it if you havnt really got used to all the other albums.

[anniep_93]

hmm.. why? :P i mean Agaetis Byrjun and ( ) are better.. Von is weird.. good weird but still weird. wouldnt recommend it if you havnt really got used to all the other albums.

Well I thought maybe I should start from the start but I guess if you really dont think so I'll get Agaetis Byrjun...

[Redundancy]

well they mainly got famous after releasing Agaetis Byrjun and not Von.. so yeah Agaetis Byrjun is a very very good choice. if you want i have Von on my computer and if i find out how to upload it ill do that for you, if not maybe add me on msn or something and i can send it.

[anniep_93]

Hmmmmmm I shall think about it.....I might download a few songs now from Limewire and see what I think. :)

[Redundancy]

yup you do that.gotta go now, course is about to start. ciao

[anniep_93]

ok thanks, Cya!

[Plug_in_coldplaying]

hmm.. why? :P i mean Agaetis Byrjun and ( ) are better.. Von is weird.. good weird but still weird. wouldnt recommend it if you havnt really got used to all the other albums.
yeah,Von is weird
i dont like the whole album i could give him 7/10

[StarsKay]

^^ from what many have said about von, i have intentionally not listened to it before i've got the 3 albums. i don't wanna throw myself in the deep end just yet.

[Redundancy]

i wouldnt call it a deep end :P its Sigur Ros so its still brilliant. but just weird.. some songs are a min long or shorter i think :thinking:

[StarsKay]

really?? i didn't know that. they must be short but sweet tracks to have made it on the album then lol.

today i was driving along the motorway and instead of listening to mew, i put in takk, turned it up and honestly, it made me experience the album in a completely new way. it made me even more inspired by sigur ros, if that's possible! :stunned:

[Redundancy]

haha i love that :P i get very energetic whenever i listen to takk :P Track number 8 (Gong) is in my opinion their best song well at least at the moment and i find it hard to not start ermmm jumping around and "singing" along :uhoh:

[Redundancy]

Ok lets put Gong on.. and ill try not to make a scene :uhoh:

[StarsKay]

^ :laugh3: is that even possible, for you i mean?

track 6 and 8 make me move everytime without fail lol funny since they aren't really dance songs by definition but still do the job!

[Redundancy]

is it possible to for me sing it? no :P thats what makes it so much fun :nice:

[StarsKay]

lol yeah same. i don't know how to pronounce the lyrics so i usually just make a sound that seems like what it's means to sound like, and no one here can correct me because they don't know either :cool:

[Redundancy]

haha well if the song is Hepolandic like Gong yeah i can sing that very good. because i listened to it so much now that i can sing along perfectly but if its normal Icelandic i just say the words that sound the same without having any clue what im saying :P

[Redundancy]

finally some news!

tibet house fund raiser

11 January 2007


on the 26th of february, the band will take part in a tibet house (http://www.tibethouse.org/) fund raiser in new york. other artists performing at the event include philip glass and patti smith. sigur rós will most likely perform just one song at this event in carnegie hall. ticket information is available on the carnegie hall website (http://www.carnegiehall.org/article/box_office/events/evt_9095.html?selecteddate=02262007).
also, as a reminder, the band play on the 25th of february in miami. they will perform their music to merce cunninghams “split sides” piece as part of the “merce in miami (http://www.merceinmiami.org/)” season.

[StarsKay]

do they know which song?

this probably has been asked already, but have they ever played in australia? if they have, i'm going to be speechless!!!

[Redundancy]

let me check for you.

[Redundancy]

omg!

:cry2: exactly, where the hell have i been!?!?!?!??!?!?! the last 2 years they come here are the first 2 years i start living in brisbane! this is crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

[Redundancy]

ouch! well they'll probably come there again soon. but they'll never come here :cry:

[StarsKay]

never say never! they may, and if not, come here lol they appear to come here a lot without me having a clue about it.
it was all about coldplay last year...if that's an excuse lol i'm trying to make myself feel better.

but geeez, this is a bit insane to accept! i wish i knew about them earlier, i would've been the first to purchase a ticket! let's hope they keep with their frequency and come back! :hopes!:

[Redundancy]

yeah ill probably see them abroad one day... but lets say you could only go to one concert, Coldplay or Sigur Ros. Who would you choose to go to? :P

[StarsKay]

ok, after much deliberation and careful thinking, i would have to say sigur ros ONLY because i have already seen coldplay lol but it's difficult, in terms of concerts, i would like sigur ros to open for coldplay, that would be ideal!...one can dream!
you put it out there so now you answer lol sigur ros or coldplay!

[Redundancy]

its not hard for me to answer that anymore :P

Sigur Ros :nice:

i was a hardcore fan of Coldplay before by the way :P i would choose them over everything then, even was gonna fly 12 hours to see them.. but Sigur Ros changed that :P and now looks like Mew is taking 2nd place and Coldplay going back to 3rd..

[Plug_in_coldplaying]

ouch! well they'll probably come there again soon. but they'll never come here :cry:
thats right,:cry2:

[StarsKay]

that's pretty much the same here, though mew is ahead and coldplay and sigur ros and equal second lol

the only reason i knew of sigur ros is because of your avi of jonsi a while ago which led me to the thread, then the uploads lol yeah, pretty much history from there.

news (fréttir) http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/site_images/takk/nav_leaf.gif new album in the works

13 January 2007

sigur rós have begun recording their new album and expect to finish it later this year. according to georg, it remains to be seen whether the band will be taking a totally new direction on the album. “we have finished recording a few songs but some more things need to be done. we don’t know exactly where the album is heading yet. we are really just experimenting at this stage. some of the songs we recorded are old songs which we had written a while ago, unreleased material which we never got a chance to finish. we decided it was time they were recorded.” georg says there is a possibility the album will be released this year but nothing is confirmed at this point.:dance:

[StarsKay]

thanks for posting Jan, that is fantastic news! :dance:

possibly releasing earlier-written tracks for their new album is exciting. i'm so confident it will be a hit *waits patiently*

i'm buying another one on friday.

[Redundancy]

ouch! through Gong aswell :stunned: that's like the best song on it... tough luck.

[StarsKay]

yeah i know, just over that one song too, it jumps then repeats 2 seconds over and over.
it's ok, not expensive at all, plus i have to go to the cd store 'cause i'm thinking of buying a copy for my friend's bday.

i now have 3 copes of takk. my first one was scratched across gong and so today i bought 2, one for my friend's bday and the other for me. for a second i thought i'd forget my friend and keep them both but having 3 copies of the same album didn't sound to sane.
anyway, while i was there i also bought mew's zookeeper single. so today has been a m a z i n g !

[Ondes Martenot]

*Njosnavelin love* :heart:

[StarsKay]

so i had a short but sweet dream last night. first dream with jonsi and it was quite perfect. i usually listen to takk as i fall asleep so it was fitting that in my dream i was in a glosoli-like scenery but with a waterfall where jonsi was sitting [there was someone else there but i couldn't tell you who] and all 3 of us were listening to takk while jonsi went through each song, adding his extra vocals and explaining how he felt.
it was quite surreal as though i was watching in on someone elses dream. all i did was listen the entire way through...!
to be honest i doubt i'll be having another like that any time soon. but yes, bump!

awww jonsi dreams :nice: i love those :blush: yes i do have them sometimes... :uhoh:

glósóli with orchestra

29 January 2007


in a recent musical project called ‘musiclab’, the bbc concert orchestra teamed up with secondary students to arrange and perform contemporary songs chosen by the students. one of the songs chosen was glósóli by sigur rós, which was performed in two different versions: one version arranged and performed by students, and an orchestral version accompanied by a student choir. you can watch a video of both versions on bbc.co.uk (http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/content/articles/2006/10/17/musiclab_feature.shtml) (the student version starts at around 15:00 mins; the orchestral version starts at around 18:30 mins).

protest concert for álafoss

2 February 2007


sigur rós will hold a concert in reykjavík on february 18th to protest the construction of a highway to be built next to their countryside studio in álafoss (http://sigur-ros.co.uk/images/alafoss.jpg), iceland. the highway, which has been approved by the local authorities, will cut through the pristine area of álafoss, cherished by the townspeople of mosfellsbær for its natural beauty and historical background. the highway will run alongside sigur rós’s converted swimming pool studio and numerous other artist workshops and homes. orri told morgunblaðið newspaper today: “the ministry for the environment has stated that an evaluation of environmental impact is not warranted, which is a decision we just don’t understand and have already appealed. the highway would also go through a grove of trees, which was planted by the children of the founders of álafoss wool mill built in 1896. half these trees have been already removed in the first place. it’s such a remarkable place and played a huge role in the establishment of the town of mosfellsbær.” the concert will be held at verið in héðinshúsið (seljavegur, reykjavík) and tickets will be available soon on midi.is (http://www.midi.is/). all proceeds will be used to appeal the proposed highway, and to encourage the city counsel to divert the highway through a less destructive route.

photostream by sigur rós

5 February 2007


in late september of last year the members of sigur rós travelled to swaziland to visit HIV-positive orphans. the band members all brought their cameras along and took photos everywhere they went. we have now put the photos together into this swaziland photostream (http://emichrysalis.co.uk/players/sigurros/unicef_photostream/) for all to see, with music by sigur rós accompanying the slideshow. we have also translated an interview (http://sigur-ros.co.uk/media/intervi/unicef.php) with the band about their journey.

nice,i just found this on google

[janhaw]

Hm...Where could I download Saeglopur video? :thinking:

[StarsKay]

once again, great wallpaper Will.

random thing here: yesterday a bunch of us lay on the beach looking at stars. it was such a BEAUTIFUL night, i can't stress that, and since we were laying on a close-to-deserted island, the sky was crystal clear which allowed stars you didn't think were there, to appear. anyway, i got takk out and let a friend here it [her first time btw,; never heard of sigur ros]. she loves it, doesn't understand what the hell anything means but loves it! perfect night just laying under the stars on the beach listening to sigur ros. :D :nice:

[indanomati]

great to have you back Kathy :dance: :D .. (ohh and i love your new avatar :wideeyed:)

^ aww. what an amazing & perfect setting to listen to Sigur Ros for the first time. lovely. :nice:

[StarsKay]

Thanks Lana, I've got a similar one with him and glasses so I'll post that in their thread [and a few of your beloved lol]
I even got her to listen to ATGHK, and now she is hooked on both bands ... it must've been the stars and the coldplay-like setting from yellow :D

[Grace]

Hm...Where could I download Saeglopur video? :thinking:
jsut download it from yotube...

[Redundancy]

Hoppipolla

i like Glosoli too but for some unexplained reasons i prefer these 3 :D

and btw have you heard of Wixel??

[Redundancy]

what is Wixel?

and my top 3 from Takk would be
Gong
Svo Hljott
Hoppipolla/Glosoli

[tams]

Wixel is post rock band and i've heard that they sound similar to Sigur Ros (they're from Belgium )
and i was just interested maybe you knew. :)

[indanomati]

^ never heard of them either.. but i guess i should give them a listen.. :)

my top 3 from Takk these days would be..
Svo Hljott
Saeglopur
Milano

my favourites at the moment are Glósóli and Saeglópur. so epic and lovelyyyyy :nice:

[Redundancy]

Hoppipolla :heart:

so damn cheering up!

[StarsKay]

a song i can't get enough of is vaka.
i'm so glad i know this band, i swear i've heard them before i knew who they were.
in fact i'm sure i've heard vaka, glosoli and saeglópur somewhere else, possibly soundtracks.

[Redundancy]

and yet you missed them live... Kathy kathy kathy *shakes head*

[StarsKay]

oh don't remind me :dead:
it's horrible that i missed them once, but three times and i have to wonder...
what the hell is wrong with me?! :freak:

[Redundancy]

mmm here's a thing. when the first 7 tracks of Takk end and Gong starts it feels like im listening to a total new album, lasts untill Heysatan is over. feels like a total different experience :thinking: but i bet thats just me :wacko:

[burningmonk]

and yet you missed them live... Kathy kathy kathy *nods head*


Don't you mean shakes head? :wiseguy:

[Plug_in_coldplaying]

first is better,i wanna have the same hair as Jonsi does,but i must beg my mom to print me some pics of his hair:D

[Redundancy]

yeah ive already decided, and im doing the angel but i just wanted to know ur point of view.

[Redundancy]

i wanna get me one of these

http://aransweaterstore.com/club_images/items/sr_janmu_ladies_icelandic_sweater_thor.jpg

an iceladic sweater, appearntly everyone wears that there.

[bell jar]

yesterday i finally got Takk... !! i know, i am a bit behind the times. but i don't think it matters WHEN you get into a band, but WHY you get into them.
but that is a different rant for a different day :nice:

ok so yesterday, i walked into my favourite music shop (JB Hi Fi for the Aussies who'll know what i'm talking about :P) expecting to have to go search for Takk... and possibly pay a high price for it. BUT! as i walked in, there was a $10 rack near the door, and i had a look through (it was mostly either stuff i had or stuff i didn't want) and there was a whole ROW of Takk... for ten bucks!! i was so excited. :D

and then i went home and listened to it (i'd only heard two or three tracks before buying it) and WOW. :stunned: i lllloooovvveeee. :nice:

i noticed something weird as i was listening to it. a few different times, i SWORE i heard words in English. once i thought i heard him sing, "i don't feel alright" and like three other times i swore i heard "i love you". but i think that's just me being a spack. :wacko:

sorry for the ramble. but they make me happy. !! :blush:

[Plug_in_coldplaying]

yeah they wear it often

[Grace]

Will, you know you have to post pics of the result :D

[Redundancy]

ofcoourse i will! i got the money for the tattoo today and doing it on thursday or friday, the guy said its gonna hurt alot.. cause that spot is pretty sensetive but its gonna be worth it. so yeah.. cant wait :D

Yeah in Andvari I swear you can hear "I love you."

Adore that song...so special

[Plug_in_coldplaying]

in hafssol you can hear yeah many times i think

[StarsKay]

Will ~ let us know and more importantly SHOW US that would be great. personally i like the first, it's very interesting and i don't know, the second looks a little typical, like hm, too asymmetric if that makes any sense. [I]of course this is all personal opinion so yeah :P anyway either one would be great, it's sigur ros afterall :D


Claire ~ oh yes, i bought is from the same place for the same price too! dance for jb hi fi lol great place and much cheaper than anywhere else. and yeah i can hear a lot of english but it makes no sense, but that doesn't stop me from singing what i think are the words :nice:

[Redundancy]

just got back! its peeeeeerfect :dance: :dance: although it did hurt..

[Redundancy]

ill post a picture soon. i have to wait 45 minutes to remove the bandage and clean the blood.. then ill do it.

The girls will be supported by Tom Brosseau on a lot of the East Coast dates (and he, by the way, is amazing). In Cincinnati they are performing both in their own right and as part of Sufjan Stevens band for his performance at Now Festival, which should be mother-of-god amazing!
Equally, if not more importantly, amiina’s debut album, ‘Kurr’, will be available through their website from March 21st. It can be preordered now here (http://javascript<b></b>:ol('http://shop.sandbag.uk.com/Amiina/Store/DisplayIndividualItem-506-2-0-kurr,preorder.html');) along with a new range of related merchandise and will also be available on the tour. Amiina are currently negotiating record deals to release the new album through traditional routes, but meantime, this is best and only the way to acquire this quiet gem of a debut. In addition, the existing EPs are now available as a download here (http://javascript<b></b>:ol('http://shop.sandbag.uk.com/Amiina/Store/DisplayIndividualItem-460-6-0-amiina,singles,bundle.html');).

That’s all. Over & out.

[Redundancy]

oooo i cant believe this! the guy took a picture of the tattoo after we were done but i didnt think he'll put it on his site! :nice:

the best close-up ull ever get, perfect...

http://spf.fotologs.net/photo/47/38/30/nicoxtattoo/1172844925_f.jpg

[StarsKay]

^ very nice, i wouldn't be surprised if he did!

i've had more discussion about getting on today with my sister lol it's weird considering i would be the last person anyone would've thought would get one :wacko:

[Redundancy]

oooo and what did she say about it?

[StarsKay]

funny enough she was really interested in it. i thought she'd be pretty dismissive like "hm, ok well we'll see how things go, but anyway" yet instead she was like "where do you want it? what do you want tattooed? why?" really getting involved, which made me feel amazingly confident. when i told her i wanted the angel, she said "I KNEW IT! i knew it before you told me!" lol am i that predictable? oh well, for love of the music etc :nice:

[Redundancy]

haha do it then :P the angel is fantastic :nice:

[StarsKay]

i figured what i'll do is draw the angel on myself for around a week, and see if at the end whether i've gotten tired of it or whether i need to stop wasting time [and ink] lol and DO IT! lol it's insane that i'm actually considering getting one but :D

[Redundancy]

thats a great idea.

[Grace]

damn, Will.
the tattoo looks even better now!
and it's so sharp and i like the lines... and everything.
i'd really get one like that, but i'd still have to look for a good body part (lol)
yeah, beside the fact that i'm not 18 yet.

[Redundancy]

thanks Grace :nice:

where would you like to have one?

[Grace]

first of all i want a small heart on my left ringfinger...
and i'm still so amazed by your angel that i'd consider getting one on my neck..(dunno how to explain... well on the back below my head...)
of course a smaller version of yours.
and also the word "god" in hebrew letters ...

[Redundancy]

ooo god in hebrew is אלוהים :wacko:

[Grace]

hehehe. thanks for that :nice:
but it's still so small that i can barely "read" it.
perhaps i'd get that God tattoo on my ankle.

[Redundancy]
