Islands, Cities, Alcohol
June 17, 2008
Sigur Rós continually insists on making music that sounds like you’re in an Alfonso Cuarón movie — and although we may not all be saving the planet one camera angle at a time on a $76,000,000 budget, we sure can fucking pretend. So these guys have got a new album (coming?) out. It’s so hard to tell these days when or what an actual release date is, since you can steal pretty much any album a complete year before the artist even realizes they’re going to record it. Now then, moving forward: Alongside my pile of bootleged movies, kennel of stolen puppies, and garage full of jacked cars, I listened to this Sigur Rós track, Inní mér syngur vitleysingur, and thought “Shit yeah. My life means something!”
So I went and grabbed a bottle of bourbon, cranked the song up, watched the sun set, and decided tomorrow I was going to wake up and make a difference — then the drink kicked in, and now I’m just writing about it. Tomorrow? I figure I’ll likely just wake up hungover wondering where my $300 really went.
