For Sigur Ros fans...

Just would like to say I finally sat down to watch their Heima DVD and I was simply blown away by it. I'm very much biased being Icelandic, but this was still something I think all Sigur Ros fans will enjoy so much.
Just like the band themselves its about the music, its unique, and without a hint of ego.

I can't wait to watch it sometime soon.

what an absolutely amazing piece of work. I love when that guy makes the marimba out of random stones.

Iceland reminds me of a more barren form of Scotland..
With really expensive booze.
And 112 prisoners!
But yes, this dvd will be on my shelves soon

I went to his farm last visit, he's a bit nuts, but man I sat down on a moss covered rock near the ocean and thought to myself this guy really has a special spot in the universe, no matter how crazy.
Iceland is a journey to a special place, if you ever have summer trips to spend, this is the place. Sorry but Mexico, Hawaii have nothing on this little gem in the world.

It's been on my to visit list for some time.. i had a layover there in reykjavik (theres no way i spelled that right) but i had only like, an hour in the airport so i hardly consider that visiting. It seems, and correct me if I'm wrong, that Sigur Ros has , especially after the Heima tour, a close place in the hearts of the Icelandic people, or at least those who are familiar with them. It seems like such a peaceful, private place and, imo, a beautiful language. If it makes any sense, hearing them sing in Icelandic and not knowing what it is theyre saying only adds to the experience
