Time of My Life


Hurricane

Decide what you will about the video, the song is stunning!

Bones

Indian Summer

Jónsi & Alex (Riceboy Sleeps) - Indian Summer (Original)


Jónsi & Alex (Kyson Bootleg) - Indian Summer


Jónsi & Alex is a side project of Jón Þór Birgisson (the lead vocalist of Sigur Ros) and his partner Alex Somers. It follows similar melodic ethereal structure as Sigur Ros but tends to be a little more experimental. Wonderful stuff to study to.

Lana and Sigur

Lana Del Ray - Summertime Sadness


In big news for me -- Sigur Ros just released tentative US tour dates!! Which means after a long absence from the tour scene. they will be back, and there is a chance to see them (maybe for the last time). Can't express how excited i am for this!!
