Bought Sigur Ross' album yesterday, the one with the black cover and weird little foetus on the cover.

I've listened to it over and over today and it just makes me sleepy. He sings like a little girl trapped down a well, near starvation and just thinly keening "Heeeeeelp Meeeeeeeeee" whilst wind blows past a microphone.

I don't hate it, I dont like it.
If breathing was a band, it would be Sigur Ross. No thought required, no conscious effort to partake. It just happens and that's all it does.

Weird.
Suppose if you were monged on The Horse it would be cool though.

As do I.

Though apart from a few random songs, I only own the CODY album.

I liked it.

Clearly Icelandic is the way forward for meandering singing in a tone of voice nothing human should be able to keep up for that long.

So in other words, supremely depressing.

That's the best word to describe Sigur Ros, sleepy. They weren't half crap live though. Nice music to die to, I'm guessing.

Got that one

But it on occasionally when I can't think of anything else to put on.

Some tracks are errr dare I say it 'beautiful'.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Brilliant service.
Love it, love it, love it!
