Remember When Videos Used To Be This Good?

That was good... In a sad yet uplifting way.

Ok, so question about the interpretation...who thinks they all killed themselves?

I personally think it was one big metaphor, but my very literal wife is raining on my parade...

good to see people with some decent music taste around here, I was starting to think that you were all techno heads....

I saw Sigur Ros last year in Melbourne, and I'm taking my GF to see them in less then 4 weeks in Melbourne again! Woohoo!

Are any of you Melbournites heading to the Palais on April 11? I'm already getting pumped to see a tall skinny man play a Les Paul through a Marshall stack with a violin bow!

funny, this just sent me on a tengent for about an hour reading about iceland, I've always been fascinated by it for some reason....

I went there last year for only just under a week, and it has totally got me... it was middle of summer there, and the sun didn't set... i want to go back, i think around the Airwaves festival next time, maybe this year, but probably next.

i'm definately going. I saw them last year twice... once in London at Sommerset house, and then a couple of weeks later at the Hamer hall in Melbourne. they are awesome.

I'm so glad this thread picked up some good discussion. Been listening to Sigur Ros for a couple of days now...can't believe I missed them when the came through Dallas a few weeks back...

Any and all Radiohead vids are incredible. DJ Shadow "6 Days" and Bjork's Robot video (don't know the song)

I heard it was dull.

Bummer...the concert footage on sigurros.com looks amazing...can't imagine how it would be dull, unless the wonderfully open-minded Texas audience (insert sarcasm here) brought the show down...

I love the build ups in all their songs, I used to think they were over-rated, I take it back. Its so good, my friends band remind me alot of them, obviously not as amazing as sigur ros, but they got great potential.

I think they did kill themselves in that video, tell your wife thats 2 v 1!!!!

and

the live footage looks amazing
