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!

i love iceland... i want to move there. maybe next year.

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.

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
