Song Of Fire And Ice And Victory Rose

Heard the news today that not only will the new season of Game Of Thrones be the most exciting stories to date, but they'll also be featuring the members of none other than Sigur Rós. Now I have to sit here for months to see if they're Lannisters or Starks.

I'll Hear Ya

big day for new release news...

First is the new Sigur Rós album Kveikur, which is surprising considering their last album came out last May. They usually take awhile to brew, so who knows what's going on here. Uncontrollable artistry or toss-offs from the last album. This doesn't seem like a toss-off.

First new Travis in a long while. No title or release date yet but they did put out the schmancy VHS video single.

Then The National and Deerhunter almost back to back in May. No videos, just cover art, but sometimes that's just as good.

sometimes.

Even Leave The Green Guys

You can have your Giada and Guy Ferrari and Paula Dean. I will take these little videos made by Sigur Rós leader Jonsi and his boyfriend Alex. 

Check out that blender!

Check out their website where you can see them make more food, like Nammi Nammi, and download their charming little recipe book.

This is gonna be a good summer.

Still Better Than I Could Do

For some reason it tickles me when people remake album covers. Whether it's with rice bowls or live photography or in this case, with the primitive drawing program MS Paint.

partake...

that Hunky Dory remake may be my favorite..

they're always adding more...

Ekki Múkk To Popplagið

We were seeing Sigur Rós that night. Heading to Philly, lunch was first.

Sarah's Corner Cafe for a combination of wraps and claps

then suddenly Curtis needed to buy a sewing machine, good thing we were running early

first timers are easy hazing victims

is this a picnic or a rock show?

got to love a show that's 50/50 standing and lying down

collective mind blowing

they played many of their angrier tunes

Fantastically intimate and quite different than when Laura and I saw them in the Atlanta Symphony Hall back in 2006. Glad I could experience with such great people. Bucket list times two.

Novocaine For The Sold Out

Just a little minor surgery on ye old foot this morning. Right after we eliminated some lingering debt and then opened a new bank account. Pretty unexpectedly busy morning. I didn't know any of that was going to happen when we left the house. Oh and we bought a new shovel. Gots some diggin' to be done.

This is what happens to Yuula when she's had too many lollies at the banking center.

Oh and Curtis scored us all tickets for the Sigur Rós show in July. Sold out in about 15 minutes. Phew.
