I don't write about music. Not because I don't love it, but because I do not have any musical authority, and feel like I don't really have a right to write about it. I spend hours of my day listening to it, but I do not know how to play it. I do not have a musical ear, nor do I know how to read musical notes.
But, I do know what I like.
Last week, I snatched up Best Buy's last copy of Jonsi's new album "Go." It is brilliant.
Jonsi is the vocalist for the Icelandic band Sigur Ros, whose unique ethereal sound captured my heart when I was in high school. Combine this phenomenal music with the terrifyingly beautiful photos of Eyjafjallajokull, and you will understand my recent obsession with the country of Iceland.
Needless to say, Iceland is on the top of my list of places to visit.
Oh, and when you have a minute, watch this:
EMILY!
ReplyDeleteyou blog! this makes me smile.
