So I was trolling along YouTube this morning, just filling my normal quota of adorable animals being tickled *, when I came across Sigur Rós playing "Gobbledigook" live. Don't ask how I ended up there, busybody. I have my reasons. I always knew that performances of "Gobbledigook" were super fun affairs, with a billion (give or take) people on stage banging drums and such, everyone smiling and just enjoying life, man. And this video transmits that so well. The whole five minutes is complete joy, from Jónsi's moving around the stage, [...]

Following in the footsteps of The Killers , Blitzen Trapper , Bon Iver , and TV on the Radio , the Icelandic post-rock outfit Sigur Rós is the latest high-profile indie outfit to use the "b" word. As revealed by frontman Jonsi Birgisson in a recent interview with Spinner , Sigur Rós is currently on a indefinite break and will not release a new album in 2010, despite previous comments to the contary . "We haven't got another [Sigur Rós] album ready. It was just a rumour. We [...]

Frank Yang If Alan Sparhawk is looking to avoid Neil Young comparisons with his Retribution Gospel Choir work, you wouldn't know it. Taking the stage at the Drake Underground on Monday night, the Low frontman was almost a tribute to Shakey boasting an impressive pair of muttonchop sideburns complimenting his black, P90-equipped, Bigsby-ed Les Paul. Okay, you'd probably never catch Neil dressed as classically dapper as Sparhawk and his bandmates, but sartorial concerns aside, you don't have to look to hard for at least one source of inspiration. [...]

Jónsi (front man Sigur Rós) komt in 2010 met een solo album en Boy Lilikoi is het eerste uitgegeven nummer. Als je hem niet verstaat komt dat dit keer niet omdat hij zingt in een zelf verzonnen elventaal of in een elventaal die ze in IJsland aan hun bevolking hebben geleerd, maar omdat je zijn Engels niet verstaat. Het nummer heeft het vrolijke van de vrolijke nummers van Sigur Ros en verder is het eigenlijk Sigur Ros maar dan in het Engels. Het beurt mij wel op in ieder geval, zo met deze koude dagen. Want koud [...]

A couple of months ago, Jón Þór Birgisson (or better known as Jónsi ), frontman of Icelandic post-rockers Sigur Rós , released an instrumental record/art collaboration with boyfriend/partner Alex Somers titled Riceboy Sleeps under the moniker of Jónsi & Alex . While newsworthy, the first single didn't really do so much to satisfy any casual fan of Sigur Rós, and really just came off as nothing more than a throwaway artistic endeavor. I suppose that project was just a warm-up [...]

Lilja Birgisdottir When it was revealed that Jon Thor Birgisson was going to be working on a project separate from Sigur Ros , many - well me, at least - assumed that the instrumental Riceboy Sleeps record which came out earlier this year was it. But in fact, it was credited to Jonsi & Alex , the titular Alex being Alex Somers of Parachutes and Birgisson's boyfriend and the project being something else completely. Which is just as well because while it was a pretty piece of atmosphere, [...]

So it's not particularly new news that Jónsi (aka that guy with the high voice from Sigur Ros ) will be releasing his first solo album, called Go , on March 22, 2010. What is new is the fact that when you hear it you'll double over crying and your tears will be sticks of licorice which will taste like the poop of angels and then Philip Seymour Hoffman will be there too and he'll give you a piece of pepperoni pizza and a Segway and you'll talk about Animal Collective while playing patty-cake on a [...]
