Sigur Rós - Flugufrelsarinn

This is a music video created by an Israeli film making student for Sigur Rós’ 1999 song called “Flugufrelsarinn” (It’s Icelandic).
This video gives me a Massive Attack - Teardrop vibe and the creature kinda looks like the controversial and to be released videogame Spore.

Sigur Rós is recording their follow-up to Takk…, and “expect to finish it” this year. This album may be released in 2007, though “nothing is confirmed at this point.” This will be Sigur Rós’ fourth full-length album since they formed in 1994.

Manhattan in the near future?

This is what will happen if we don’t listen to Al Gore and his presentation of the global warming issue, An Inconvenient Truth.

The Pirate Bay Wants to Buy Sealandand and offers citizenship

So it’s like this, BitTorrent tracker The Pirate Bay has announced that their intentions are to buy a small country or island, where no copyright laws exist since it’s in international waters.

They set sight on an old gun battery from World War II off the coast of England, called Sealand since the owners recently announced that it was for sale.

“…if they actually wind up owning this thing they *better* be arriving there on a pirate ship.”, said a digg user.

Boards of Canada - Dayvan Cowboy

Directed by Melissa Olson
The music video is composed from footage of 1960 Joseph Kittinger, the man that set the record for the longest free fall with a helium balloon for Project Excelsior, and Laird Hamilton’s ride of a giant wave.
The music and the visuals blend so nicely together, a real mood setter, could be my favorite song ever.

According to Last.fm, the 3rd most played track on my list is Dayvan Cowboy with 34 plays in total. I got El-P with T.O.J. on #1 and Madvillain with Great Day (Four Tet remix) on #2. Other followers are Sigur Rós – Starálfur, Amon Tobin – Easy Muffin and Cannibal Ox – Pigeon.
Yeah, I like all kinds of music, except country music of course, being from underground hiphop to post rock and from metal to indie electronica.
