...just so I can take them to a Sigur Ros show.

m^a(t)h · 07.10.2006, 12:26 PM

i would be happy just going to see sigur ros. probably never will though, so i cry every night...

afterthefact · 07.10.2006, 12:36 PM

It is like the best music ever created. The idea that it took thousands of years of people making music before they came up with this almost blows my mind...

Rob Instigator · 07.10.2006, 12:41 PM

I have seen sigur ros. I enjoyed it. I preferred Godspeed You Black Emperor though. they put on a great show.

Yeah, I love it when bands berate a capacity crowd, 97% of which are probably far left on the political spectrum, for the actions of "YOUR President." That's really cool.

GYBE! is pretty notorious where I live. They have gone to Carnegie Mellon University twice I think (one of the best schools in the country). I never went but heard some stories...

They would get a chalkboard to write on and during the show write:
Alienation 101
Anger/Disgust 201
Individual/Community Skills Building 301
Hope 401
Schools that look like prisons prisons that look like malls 501

And on the way out Efrim wrote on a blackboard "Drop out tomorrow"

Another time Efrim talked about how CMU helps develop bombs and such...

best suited to rocking on the couch!

Rob Instigator · 07.10.2006, 02:07 PM

I saw Sigur Ros at Coachella this year and thought they were great, but I would really prefer to see them in a smaller venue and a full set. Can't wait til they tour in the states again!

true, although i do like their music's calmness and ambience they seem a bit egotistical at times...

Daddylikes · 07.10.2006, 04:29 PM

When Sigur Ros toured the U.S. for the first time and was still playing clubs, I got backstage only to find the greatest backstage scene I've ever witnessed.

The band was completely silent, doing lines of cocaine while listening to their own recordings remixed.

If I didn't love their music, I'd love them for this level of pretentiousness alone.

good, good...

Savage Clone · 07.10.2006, 04:37 PM

I have never see Sigur Ros, so I have never witnessed that kind of stage banter from them.
They don't really do it for me though; a little too sweet. I sold my copy of the Agaetis Byrjun 2xLP recently though, and discovered that stuff is getting a pretty penny now. I bought it when it came out, only listened to it twice in a few years.

That would explain why their music sounds like 5th albums. I've had the misfortune of seeing this band twice, once because people assured me they were great and that I'd heard the wrong recordings, and the second time because people assured me that 'I wasn't listening' the first time, or something like that.

Both times I hated them. Really, really hated them. I don't know who it was said it, I've a feeling it was SC, but they truly are the new Enya.

Sorry, I have mental problems that mean I am incapable of listening to the part of my head that says, "Don't write that, it's really not that important you say it, is it?"

I didn't say that, but I kinda wish I had.
No matter how mean it is, that's funny.
