sigur rós is rocking my world... again.

If you guys haven't already listened to the Album Takk... ('Thanks...' in English), you should. It's awesome. My favourite song is hoppípolla and it enabled me to get as close to sleep as possible on my sleepless flight to San Francisco today/yesterday/somewhere in the order of a few hours ago.
It's been used for a whole heap of things: Fifa World Cup stuff, BBC trailers, movies (Children of Men, Penelope, etc).
The album itself is nice background music when you're lying around doing nothing or thinking or calm or trying to get to sleep and want some slow music to listen to. It's not all slow but it is all in Icelandic which makes it awesome. Like Bjork, but a million times better.



P.S This hostel has basic plugins missing from the browsers so if this doesn't turn out as it should (a youtube video of hoppípolla), please let me know so I can change it.
Awesome.
