My newest obsession

wow you guys. I can't hardly calm down enough to tell you this.

I have found some PHENOMENAL music.

They're called "Sigur Ros" and they're from Iceland. It is some of the most beautiful and original music i've heard. i'm not even sure how i found them. they've got four albums out to date, and i read that they're getting ready to release a fifth. One album which has no name, but it titled " ( ) " is written entirely in "hopelandic," a language created by the group that has no translation. it's mesmirizing. seriously. Promise me you'll at least TRY it....they're not for everyone, but they just might be for YOU! leave me a comment and let me know what you think (also, if you already know and love them, then i totally respect you, and want to know what else you listen to...)

I've come to a conclusion.

Bjork=icelandic

and

sigur ros=icelandic

therefore

iceland=AWESOME

Is vanilla ice from Iceland?

Hamay you are soooooo funny.

did anyone else see when The Vanilla Ice was on Surreal life? that was a hoot.

rebecca marie said...

yes, THE vanilla ice was a hoot. he's actually a real person, as opposed to a pod person. it was shocking. and, he's all like, faithful to his wife and stuff. go on vanil (that's what i call him, vanil).

I saw The Vanilla Ice in concert. I'd have to say TVI was one of the worst shows I've ever seen.

I've heard much about these Sugar Rio dudes. It may be time to investigate.

You make me laugh. I enjoyed reading some of your old stuff.

Ryan-
thanks for taking me seriously and actually checking them out! I'm so proud of you...and you're completely entitled to your LSD stance. all i know is that i LOVE them...and they're great music for falling asleep to.

rebecca marie said...

just because ninety percent of my music listening time is devoted to THE vanilla ice, doesn't mean i don't know who sigur ros is....

the other ten percent of my listening is very lsd laden. i mean, eclectic.

It is beautiful.

What I don't understand is how they would come up with names for their songs if they are in no language. Then again, I don't read Icelandic so maybe the names of the songs are made up too!
