I was moved...

I've been told by friends that I would like the band Sigur Ros. I had no idea what sort of music it would be, though, and I was put off by the information that they sing in a made up language. However, knowing their music would be used in a dance performance I'll be seeing next week, I decided to sample some of their videos so as not to be too surprised. I punched the name into YouTube and watched a couple videos: Glósóli, and Hoppipolla.

The lyrics certainly didn't matter and the music was delightfully enchanting. Even better than that, the videos are, well, as the subject suggests, I was moved. I shall have to browse more of their work as I think there is definitely something beautiful to found in there.

@alibakes Haywire is a sparse little covert thriller featuring a smooth jazz score. I can't think of anything else to say about it.

@kumailn Funny, at first I thought you were referring to the now defunct game studio.

@dcorsetto For the record, I'm more grossed out by pooping. And war. War and pooping, mostly.

@wired I only use Gmail to manage my Contacts. Today was the first time I had seen the new interface. I couldn't find the Contacts.

Twitter ran out of "who to follow" recommendations for me. I should probably turn the Internet off now.
