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:

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

finally some news!

 

tibet house fund raiser

 

11 January 2007

 

 

on the 26th of february, the band will take part in a tibet house 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.

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” season.

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!!!

let me check for you.

yup they have... in 2005

• august 3 hamer hall (melbourne)
  
• august 4 • the enmore (sydney)
  
• august 5 the tivoli (brisbane)

and again in 2006 omg :stunned:

• april 11 • the palais, melbourne

• april 12 • the enmore, sydney

• april 13 • east coast blues & roots festival, byron bay

• april 14 • the great escape festival, sydney

• april 15 • the tivoli, brisbane

Kathy! where have you been!!!

....

 

 

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!

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

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!:

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

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!

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..

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

thats right,:cry2:

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) 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:

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*

Hell yeah!!! i knew this year is gonna be the best so far :dance: :dance: and its just getting better and better!
