i want to be fluent in hopelandic


Monday, August 18, 2008

Here’s a video of Sigur Rós performing “Untitled #1″ live on Last Call with Carson Daly. I actually prefer listening to this over the album version because of the added prominence of Jónsi’s ending melody. If I were an actor, I would summon thoughts of this song for my big crying scene.

So strap on your headphones and blast the shit. Plus, what other band is given seven and a half minutes of performance time on network television? If I ever met an alien, this is what I would show them as an example of “music”. Skip to the five minute mark if there’s ants in your pants.

    While that might work for ET or the Thermians, you should probably pick something more hardcore for Megatron or Cthulhu :D Thank you for this introduction to Sigur Ros though, pretty amazing.
