Today's clouds: Cumulus fractus; cumulus humilis (fair weather clouds)The drive up was OK! The concert, brilliant and the visit with friends wonderful and delicious. However the drive home took 5 1/2 hours - it's a 4 hour drive.
I googled "Sigur Ros" and I was able to find recordings of both nights at the Palace theater. Joy of joys!
If you happened to miss both nights of Sigur Rós' shows at the United Palace Theatre don't worry nyctaper has got you covered. Nyctaper made recordings of both shows in .flac format for you audiophiles and .mp3 for those who prefer smaller files. You can download the Wednesday's show here and Thursday's show here. You can download a Sigur Rós track below.
The opening band was "Parachutes" which is the band of Jónsi’s boyfriend. I loved their music - they were ethereal, joyful, with a mature type of innocence (mature innocence is an oxymoron I know, but I know no other word to describe them) that made me love them right off.
It was clear that they're influenced by Sigur Ros's music with whimsical vibes and long reflective pauses but with their own unique flavor but sung entirely in English.
