Sigur Rós: Roskilde Festival, Roskilde, Denmark, 2000-07-02; Songs/Albums To Check Out.
Some classic Sigur Rós to start off the day. This is from an early performance of songs that were later to appear on the twice Grammy nominated 2002 album, ( ) (yes, that's the album title), with the exception of "Svefn-G-Englar", which appears on Ágætis Byrjun (1999) and "Nýja Lagið", a live version of which appears on the "Svefn-G-Englar" single.

And from my most recent musical acquisitions, here are a few worth mentioning. I recommend checking these out for sure.
Fidelity Regina Spektor (from the upcoming album Begin To Hope). With this song, Ms. Spektor has created a whole new genre of music. I'll call this genre "Bloody Awesome". If the rest of the album is anything like this, I am in for a little wetting of myself on first listen. I already pre-ordered Begin To Hope from the market; do yourself a favor and do the same.
To: Elliott From: Portland Various Artists. My favorite of the various tributes to late singer-songwriter Elliott Smith. A great testimony of Elliott's songwriting skills, very very recommended. Here's the opener on the album, contributed by The Decemberists.
Clementine The Decemberists
Waterloo To Anywhere Dirty Pretty Things. Okay, let's get one thing straight. If you are into comparisms, this album blows Babyshambles' Down In Albion to bits. For me, it brings this shocking revelation: Carl Barât and Gary Powell were the heart of The Libertines. This is the best thing of its kind I have heard this year, and I am beginning to think maybe it's not such a bad thing they let the "Deadwood" go. Here's a teaser.
Bang Bang You're Dead
Couple Of Times Round The Sun Rob Heath. Simple, honest songwriting and skillful rendition of these laid back country tunes by one of Canada's hidden talents make this disc a keeper. Recommended. Here's a teaser.

Q: where can i get that song from vanilla sky? ("the nothing song")
A: the song at the end of vanilla sky (on the roof of the skyscraper) is called njósnavélin (a.k.a. the nothing song) and is the 4th track on the 2002 album, ( ). the song had not been recorded in a studio when vanilla sky (2001) was made, so the recording you hear in the movie is from a concert (the roskilde festival in denmark, june 2000).
IS THIS THE SAME VERSION, DO YOU KNOW? I NOTICE THE DATES DON'T COINCIDE (JUNE VS. JULY) - DID THEY PLAY MULTIPLE DATES?
-SS
Possibly the same version-not sure they played multiple dates. I'm pretty sure it's July, but write back if you are definite it's June.
