Sigur Ros are smokin'! The band's 2007 documentary Heima was just named the Top All-Time Documentary by IMDB, the highly respected movie industry database. Heima, which followed the band on the 2006 tour of their homeland, beats out Martin Scorsese's Bob Dylan homage No Direction Home and all of Michael Moore's provocative films, despite Moore getting more votes.

Sigur Ros and Bjork perform in Iceland (the country -- not the Berkeley, CA Ice Rink like I mistakenly thought) to battle Aluminum strip mining. Protest performances never sounded this good. Joyous!
This is in the current edition of Q magazine: "4 out of 5 stars When Radiohead's Thom Yorke was asked recently about the honesty box internet release of last October's In Rainbows, he described it as a 'one-off'. But eight months later, the repercussions continue to inspire others to copy both their immediacy (The Raconteurs' latest) and altruism (Coldplay's Violet Hill giveaway).With their fifth album proper Með Suð í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust, Sigur Rós are the late...

Oh, how I wish that vaykay were happening this year, because it'd coordinate perfectly with the free open air Náttúra concert Bjork and Sigur Ros are playing on June 28th in their homeland.

However- the London Telegraph offered an awesome preview of Sigur Ros' new single (name I can't pronounce). http://www.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/telegraphtv/tvplayer/?ID=Arts&bcpid=1358314062&bclid=1422258516&bctid=163120750 Something about this video makes me wish I had a big s...
