Gorgeous. Please give me the shopping CD guide to Sigur Rós' earlier material. I have the latest. What should I buy next? |

I love this song but I can certainly understand why its a song that you either love or hate. To each his own!

This song is not in Icelandic. It's Hopelandic (or Vonlenska as it would be called in Iceland). Yep, they made up their own language to make this music. Pretty cool eh? |

George Carlin was a critic, not a comedian. Nor was he much more than a hack. |

Some say no good music comes out of Iceland...and this band is living proof! Could water boarding be any worse than this?

One of my favourite bands for sure, and a great song, though I prefer to it "Untitled number 8". For everyone not yet convinced, please take a look at the amazing music video for Glosoli. |

Now that's democracy in song writing. America, you should applaud this band!  |

I fell in love with this song when I saw Vanilla sky, it was the perfect song for the end of the movie. Cameron Crowe really knows how the pick the right song for the mood he wants to portray. Thanks Cameron for having good taste in music and thanks Bill for playing good music too. |
