iTunes Genius that is…a reflection on true genius will need to wait for another day.
When I first heard about the Genius feature in iTunes, I was excited. It seemed like a promising feature, and it certainly is…but in my experience, it’s still only that – promising.
On a scale of ‘Completely Clueless’ to ‘Near Genius’, I [...]

Some concerts are just plane fun, others moving and still others profound in that they seam to offer an incredible insight into the artist. A few weeks ago I set sail for Louisville Kentucky to catch a Bon Iver show which definitely fit into this later category. The show was simply stunning; a small, [...]

It seems that Sigur Ros are planning to release a couple of goodies later in the year:
A live DVD (from a trek around Iceland – if the trailer is any indicator, it could be amazing)
A double-compilation album (includes recordings of three unreleased songs, and acoustic versions of six songs)
Release date of November 5th for both.

One Sweet World *
You Might Die Trying *

Don’t Drink the Water *
Grey Street *
Louisiana Bayou *
The Idea Of [...]
