Shaftell Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Wow, the concert last night was amazing! I liked their opening band as well. They sounded like a miniature version of Sigur Ros :P I took a lot of pictures, and some videos. Only one video turned out half decent though so I'll maybe put that one up in a little bit. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardo Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 what was the setlist?? ^^^ and I can sing to sigur rós songs.... no really one day I realized I was singing hoppipolla, but I had no idea what I was saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaftell Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Lets see if I can remember it. In no particular order: Svefn-g-englar Glósóli Ný Batterí Við Spilum Endalaust Hoppípolla Með Blóðnasir Festival Fljótavík Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása Heysatan Svo Hljótt Sæglópur Inní Mér Syngur Vitleysingur Gobbledigook Popplagið I don't think I missed any songs. It was an amazing setlist and I'm happy they played Svo Hljott! Also, in the middle of Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása there was an intense pause. It was silent for like a minute while the bandmembers just stood there. They did that again during Festival as well. I caught that on camera! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaftell Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I was in the left parterre, row D I think? Or C... Something like that. The view was great. Pretty much anywhere you sat would be nice because it was a small venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Lol, when I really like a song like hoppipolla I'll look up the lyrics and try to memorize them so I can sing along. It's fun singing along in a icelandic. Yesterday was my birthday and my parents sent me a package that included a bunch of candy and, to my surprise a sigur ros T-shirt. Just black with "Sigur Ros" written in white across the front in that cool font. I don't have a lot of band t-shirts so it's cool to have. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lizkinwuzhir Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 don't they sing most songs in Hopelandic? a language that is mostly made up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaftell Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 They do have a lot of songs that they sing in Hopelandic. For example, their album ( ) is all in hopelandic but they have songs in Icelandic as well :P Oo and one in English! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I should of told this story a long time ago, but last week I was in history class and my teacher took the class outside to make a point about the greek columns on all the buildings...anyway, while we're waiting for everyone to funnel out, he turns to me and says... "Hey! I saw you were wearing a sigur ros shirt the other day, you know they're singing a song in english on their new album." I was flabbergasted! that my history teacher could be so cool as to be a fan of icelandic post-rock at a college dominated by bad christian rock.

Corey07 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Yeah, I've introduced so many of my friends to Sigur Ros. My girlfriend loves them almost as much as I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricardo Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 listen to all of their albums really, the last one is excellent as well. from () I love untitled 4, 8 and 3, those are my favourites from () Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberryfields Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I'm in a Sigur Rós mood right now. :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarsKay Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 im really starting to get into these guys. listening to () and Hvarf/Heinma. great records I know lots of people have preferences on what album to listen to first etc, and I'm all over the place when it comes to that too lol. I started off with Takk, then (), then AB, then all the EPs etc etc, and lastly their recent album. As much as I try convince myself that I've got an ultimate SR track, I end up with a list of like 15 songs, and that's when the list has been cut down already :wreck: haha. Too many great songs. Gong, Hopippola, and Olsen Olsen, ah and also Staralfur are definite favorites - ah need to stop now or else I'll be here all night lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiminy Cricket Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Holy shit, the new album is incredible. I always knew it was good, but not this good. Perfect late night listening, joyous and heartbreaking at the same time. Ára bátur has to be one of the most moving pieces of music I have ever heard. I have even grown to appreciate the first part of Festival! You've gotta love made-up languages. That vocal melody is awesome. Simply awesome. And then when that hook comes in... Stunning album. I need to start listening to it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardo Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I used to not like ara batur, but then I listened complete, and it's definitively now one of my favourite songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 The latest is surely one of my top five of all time, but I just recently I came understand "takk..." I didn't care for it much the first few weeks. But two days ago I listened all the way through, and everything made sense, but more than that, it's brilliant!
