You like that? The boyfriend sent that to me last night after we got back from the screening of Heima at the Kendall Square cinema.
How was it? I think it was a solid five. The first fifteen minutes and the last fifteen minutes were really amazing. The middle hour? Not as much. I mean, it was real pretty and mellow, but concert films can be tough. I'm real glad I saw it in a theater - I wouldn't have had the attention span to watch it at home. Plus, it looked and sounded pretty great there, way better than in my living room.
The whole concept of the film was about how they decided to play a bunch of free shows in remote areas of Iceland where people don't get out much. In like fields, caves, and abandoned factories. So now you know what I mean when I say it looked and sounded amazing.
Would I go see the movie again? Sure! A++! Would I buy the DVD? THE ANSWER IS NO, I DON'T OWN A HOME THEATER!!!
Sigur Ros's second entry into the chart. Here's the acoustic version of Staralfur from their new double EP Hvarf/Heim
.
So I'm sitting at work in New England, waiting for the snow to fall so I can go home and watch it while listening to Sigur Ros.
No, really.
Anyway, I only recently learned that the songs on () actually have titles. My favorite song on the record is no longer "Untitled 3", but "Samskeyti". Coincidentally, a live acoustic version of Samskeyti was just released on their double EP set Hvarf/Heim. And also coincidentally, their concert film Heima is screening next week at the Kendall Square Cinema in Cambridge [I already got my tickets]. It truly is a week of Sigur Ros.
