Sigur Ros - Live In Minneapolis
>> Friday 26 September 2008
Mykael here, blogging Ell-Eye-Vee-Eee from Magicial Minneapolis USA where there ain't a recycle bin in sight, where that lovely magical potion we call alcohol is dirt cheap, and, oh, where Sigur Ros just blew the minds of everyone at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown Minny.Opening act Parachutes were great and were sorta like the first born child of Sigur Ros and Mum, if they reproduced. In fact, the male singer had a Jonsi-ish falsetto wail while the female singer cooed childlsly like Mum's ex-lead singer Kristin.
I wound up buying their EP and 10" and can't wait to drop the needle on the latter.
Sigur Ros were, well, transcendent. While I didn't love the show as much as when I saw them in 2005, they were utterly intoxicating, playing a healthy mix of new material peppered with select tracks from Takk, (), and Agaetis Byrjun. I was particulary blown away by the spirited "Gobbledigook", which featured members of Parachutes pounding on drums, and "Ny Battery" off AB which is still resonating, even though the show ended almost three hours ago.
I am *so* glad I made the trip. AND I just discovered Hanson (yes, Hanson) is playing tomorrow night. Their show is currently on the "possibile, but highly unlikely" list for tomorrow.
Wish you were here.

"Gobbledigook" was definitely the highlight of the night. I feel sorry for the person(s) that have to clean up all that confetti.
Agreed.
I suspect they'll be finding bits of confetti for weeks.
I was married for 16 years to a loving mother and wife. We had 2 children together who are now 11 and 13. I reconnected with an old girlfriend from college on Facebook and we began an affair and I left my wife. The woman I had an affair with is a wonderful woman and I love her too and our kids had begun accepting the situation and my wife has kind of moved on, but not in love with the man she is seeing. I thought I fell out of love with my wife and I felt terrible about what I did to her - she is a good woman and I don't know what came over me. I decided to try and get her back and I was recommended to Lord Zakuza for help to get reunited with my wife and within 48 hours after I made contact with Lord Zakuza my wife decided to work things out with me and now we are back together with our children living as one happy family. I really don't know the words to use in appreciation of what Lord Zakuza did for me but I will say thank you sir for reuniting I and my family back. For those in trying times with their marriages or relationship can WhatsApp Lord Zakuza for help with this number +1 740 573 9483 or you can send him an email to Lordzakuza7@gmail.com
