It happens sometimes to find a musician, an album, a song and think: wonderful! And the video is magic, like Iceland. [it] Succede ogni tanto di trovare un musicista, un disco, una canzone e di pensare: stupendo! Era un pezzo che non mi capitava. E il video è magico, come l'Islanda. link: jonsi.com/go video: Jónsi - Go Do Official video to first single from Go. [vimeo http://vimeo.com/9289064]

Tue, 11 Mar 2008 21:58:12 -0700 97,21 min of unannounced freedom. http://oddtag.posterous.com/9721-min-of-unannounced-freedom http://oddtag.posterous.com/9721-min-of-unannounced-freedom via: Art News Blog txt: sigurros on youtube.com
'heima' is sigur rós's first ever film, filmed over two weeks during the summer of 2006 when the band undertook a series of free, unannounced concerts in iceland. they hauled 40-plus people round 15 locations to the furthest flung corners of their homeland for their debut venture into live film, to create something, well, inspirational. 'heima' (icelandic for "at home" or "homeland"), truly, shows sigur rós as never before. whereas seeing the group live is normally a large-scale and sometimes overwhelming experience, making full use of lights and mesmeric visuals, 'heima' was always intended to reveal more of what was actually going on on stage. it does this via long-held close-ups and a rare intimate proximity, without ever once breaking the spell.
