i really wish this album was crushed into 30 seconds so the entire thing could be my alarm everyday. it is so absurdly beautiful and awesome and life-affirming in uncomfortably effective ways. i am gay for jonsi and his tiny, tiny arms.
anyway, the album is perfect, and i really wish i had gotten to see him last march. and if for some reason you dont recognize his name, hes the guy standing in front of sigur ros wearing weird shit and singing falsetto.

Excellent post. He has a single on the "How to Train Your Dragon" soundtrack that's equally awesome.
Here's the song "Sticks and Stones" as performed on Jimmy Fallon that the person above mentioned: http://jonsi.com/news/jonsi-performs-sticks-stones-on-fallon
Your comment about his tiny tiny arms cracks me up but I totally agree with what you said. He does appear quite frail but he puts on an amazing performance nonetheless. I caught him at the Voodoo Experience in New Orleans in October and it had a profound impact on me.
The DVD that came out in November is worth the investment, if you haven't picked that up. Not quite the same as being there but as close as we'll get for now.
i was going to get that dvd but then i lost my dvd player :(
ive seen sigur ros at red rocks and it was...life-altering beyond my ability to describe. except they ended with untitled 8 which is not a very upbeat song. everyone was very subdued after they got offstage.
