yea i mean i have to agree for the most part, and obviously with the fact that the beatles were great yet simple.

this thread was funny at first, now it sucks

^^yeah i mean if you look at "Beatles One", most of thier hits are simple, straight to the point, and you can sing along really easily. Then you look at the less popular stuff like SGT. Peppers (probably my favorite beatles cd) and it starts to move away from those simple melodic patterns and get more complex.

They play sigur ros in the Channel 4 UK show "skins". But none of you have probably seen that.

2/28/2008 5:34:29 PM

fuck you

2/28/2008 5:38:31 PM

^haha i only said that cause i started a "Skins" thread in entertainment and no one posted anything. So i just made the assumption no ones seen the show yet. It's really popular in the UK i dont see why people here haven't seen it yet.

I mean can you prove me wrong? Anyone seen it?

I think for me at least, most bands' songs sound the same when I first listen to them because it's the band's "sound". Now, there really are some bands who sound the same every goddamn song, but like someone else pointed out, all the classic Rock bands usually have very similar sounding songs.

i'm not sure what "indie groups" the user was referring to, but i don't think Sigur Rós has similar sounding songs. well, that's just in my opinion, could be because i listen to them a lot. but i do agree that a lot of other "indie" bands I listen to have very similar sounding songs (The New Pornographers, Rilo Kiley, Death Cab, Interpol, etc).

the other day i heard this dude playing Sgt. Peppers out of his car, i just kept thinking wtf man, if you're gonna listen to the Beatles at least play Hard Day's Night or something... why is he gonna go listen to that less popular shit..

i think we should start a North Carolina State University Sigur Ros (And Alter Bridge) Fans Subculture Club (N.C.S.U.S.R.(A.A.B)F.S.C., for short)

without one, this school is really lacking

Shouldn't this thread be in Chit Chat? it would make it so much more fun, honest.

2/28/2008 7:32:10 PM

yes, wonderful music

saw them on a funny fall night a few years ago at a theatre down the street - one of the best concerts i have ever seen, out of hundreds

I go through Sigur Ros binges from time to time, the most recent one brought on by this thread

3/7/2008 6:53:39 PM

I just heard their 2nd track of Takk this weekend, don't remember the title.

Amazing.

3/10/2008 3:42:37 PM

probably the best song on that album

3/10/2008 3:47:23 PM

is heima screening at state soon? or did that already happen? i may be completely out of the loop. i know unc screened it back in january. i saw about 15 minutes of it. incredible film it looks like!

3/11/2008 7:05:38 AM

they put it on youtube.


although i'd love to see it on a big screen.


somehow i havent gotten around to buying it yet, primarily b/c my huge tv has been broke since december.. but oh we back!

[Edited on March 11, 2008 at 8:01 AM. Reason : e]

3/11/2008 8:00:42 AM

yea its a lot better on a good tv than the one on youtube

3/11/2008 8:06:58 AM

yeah i heard about that....saw some of it on there...but a friend of mine had it and was watching it on his 42" flat screen. it was amazing. of course i had to go and could only catch a bit of it. just seems so much more epic on the big screen....like that is how they meant there music to be seen + heard

3/11/2008 8:14:53 AM

Is the DVD like the music video for Track 2 from Takk (G-something)? If so I'll definately have to get it...

3/11/2008 1:11:04 PM

The DVD is incredible on a big screen so I can't imagine watching it YouTube.

3/11/2008 1:19:20 PM

^ MY BIG SCREEN AMIRITE ??!

3/11/2008 1:36:50 PM

aha, where else?

Music video is pretty cool.
