Oh god, this might be the most perfect set I've ever heard on RP. Thank you a lot Bill!

4 asses total ~ the gender on the first runner might be of the fairer sex?
Yup. I think the lead runner is female. Long hair. Pear shaped butt. Right arm flung out in typical 'runs like a girl' fashion. And it may explain why the three naked guys are running after her... (suddenly the scene takes on an ominous and disturbing tone) |

Do not run naked in the roadway; stick to the grassy fields. |

The previous song in this set was by the "Butch Baldassari Trio"
Now I just counted three guys showing their bald asses on the cover of this album. Not sure how butch they are though. Maybe the name was an unconscious trigger for Bill, or he is even more twisted that I gave him credit for.
And to comment on Sigur Ros: I first heard them while driving a rented Landcruiser from Darwin to Perth about three years ago, while living in Oz with my wife and two young boys. Her sister joined us on that trip, and played her latest 'find'. Wasn't convinced about SR at first but they grew on me. They had a lot of time to grow on me as we spent a hell of a lot of time in that truck. That chunk of Australia has some spectacular sights separated by a whole lot of not much...

Maybe it was the sheer scale of the Outback that helped. I drove around Iceland for 8 days listening to them and that pretty much did it for me. I am hooked. Their music is as vast as the country. |

Haven't heard any SR on RP for quite awhile, and I must say, They still suck, immensely.
Less SR please, as in none.

Interesting! I almost went to Iceland for a job interview, have seen some really interesting movies from there. Per usual another group to expand my horizons. The follow up is a track from Pink Floyd - too much - phenomenal!
