Sigur Rós...possibly one of the greatest bands I've ever stumbled upon. So much beauty and life in every chord, every key, every word sung. Their music is pure brilliance. The songs are the soundtrack to every breathtaking dream and every tear filled nightmare you've ever had. I always say how Mew is the greatest, how no band can compare, but Sigur Rós comes damn close. It's obvious by now that I found Takk, the cd by them that I'd been hoping to buy. My favorite songs right now from it are: Glósóli, Sæglópur, Gong, and Hoppípolla. In the name of all that is musical, buy Takk!

I just got my hands on two Bjork cd's: Gling Glo and Vespertine. I love them dearly- although they are basically polar opposites in terms of the music style. I had to order the Gling Glo cd and was surprised to find that all the lyrics are in Icelandic (which is silly since I already knew that Bjork is Icelandic)! I'm really anxious to see if I can find any Sigur Ros cd's around here, but I doubt they released anything in the US. I may have to order like the others but that could be expensive. :( I also got The Zookeeper's Boy single; and an Amusement Parks on Fire cd is in the mail soon to arrive at my house :) can't wait!
