Sigur Ros – Vidrar Vel Til Loftarasa
I was reminded of my favorite Sigur Ros video last night, and thought I'd post it for everyone's enjoyment. It's sad and touching and suggests there is innocence that may be misunderstood. For reasons that probably become obvious, I cried the first time I saw it. Below, the translated lyrics...
Good Weather For Airstrikes
I Slide Myself Forward
Through My Head
I Think Half Way
Backwards
See Myself Sing The Anthem
That We Wrote Together
We Had A Dream
We Had Everything
We Rode To The End Of The World
We Rode Searching
Climbed Skyscrapers
That Later Exploded
The Peace Was Out
I Leak Balance
Fall Down
Total Silence
No Answer
But The Best Thing God Has Created
Is A New Day
the arcade fire – concerts à emporter
Are they fucking serious? Figure me a cooler notion of video live music performance. Go on - you can't do it. Anyway, The Arcade Fire did a little ditty recently. Here it is, and if I were you, dear reader, I would expect a few more of these posts before I lose the chills I get when I watch their shows
the national
The National, about whom I've raved on numerous occasions, is releasing a new album in May. I seriously chill with anticipation. Totally pumped. Can I say that enough? TOTALLY PUMPED!
A preview track:
The National - Fake Empire
Here's one of the coolest live performances I've ever seen, and it's a rendition of a new song off the upcoming album. Concerts à Emporter is badass in its own right; coupled with The National...off the charts, baby. Enjoy:

If you like Coldplay, go here and here. Check out "A Revolution Song" if it doesn't do this really high-pitched funky thing on his site that it did on mine... Thank me later...
i’m a punkrocker, yes i am
my style is di bom digi bom di deng di deng digi digi
...and I know I suck for not having posted any of my finds from the new treasure trove, but Things have been Going On which make me Very Tired. Soon!
overload…
I've spent the last four hours in frantic overload, discovering or rediscovering the following little pieces of heaven on earth:
And I'm finding the Blogger "New Post" procedure to be far too cumbersome to post the hundred thousand sweetnesses I've found this morning. I'm going to go breathe now and I will return later to share the finds...
Meanwhile, enjoy the links...
