who's excited

Sigur Ros, you bring me joy and sadness. One minute I am devastated at your New York show selling out instantly while the next I am bulgy-eyed at my computer as I read your new album is set to be released on June 23rd. You slay me with your slaps in the face and then your generous gifts. But I can't blame you...your new song, "Gobbledigook," is fucking awesome.

FURTHER: Sigur Ros has added a new show to their wild storming of North America (see ya in Guadalajara!), which will take place at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Tickets are $18 and I am taking bets on how quickly they will sell out. If I manage to procure one myself, I'll be letting this blog know. Here are the important details:

June 17th, 7-11pm (tickets go on sale June 10th at noon)

Interestingly enough, Brooklyn Vegan has taken DOWN his post talking about this show. After reading the post and the subsequent comments, I've concluded the reasoning behind this was to have as few people as possible in the know, thus increasing the sell-out time from 15 seconds to 17 seconds. Oh and by the by, the show is 21+ so if you aren't old enough to get your drink on, you're not old enough to get your Gobbledigook on.

AND: Sigur Ros (just this morning!) has posted a link to stream their entire upcoming album right here.

I haven't and won't listen to it because I am a Sigur Ros purist. Or maybe I'm just a fool.
