      Jónsi of Sigur Rós has released his solo album, Go. 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]

      Sono anni che seguo la musica dei Sigur Ros, ma è il loro modo di essere che mi incanta: islandesi, concludono i loro tour con concerti gratuiti nella loro terra, i loro video mostrano anziani e disabili sereni. La loro musica è il dolce e pesante suono della gioia e della vita. [en] I've enjoyed the music of Sigur Ros for years, but it's their way of being that fascinates me: Icelanders, they conclude their tour with free concerts in their homeland, their videos show elderly and disabled people. Their music is the sweet and heavy sound of joy and life. links: sigur-ros.co.uk - Sigur Rós on vimeo txt: FAQ from sigur-ros.co.uk
      there is a long silence in my copy of ( ), is this normal? yes, that's what it's supposed to be like. the abrupt end of track 4 is followed by 36 seconds of silence, which signifies the division of the album's two halves: the "sweet" half and the "heavy" half.

      '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.
