    • I wonder how successful campaigns like this have run before? I've found some of my favorite music from the CDs that come with Paste magazine.

    • Everyone should listen to Sigur Ros... But i don't want everyone to. Maybe not the best idea the independent has ever had.
      Went to see them in november at Ally Pally... Got the set-list, it was an amazing show, they had water that fell between the stage and the crowd during Sæglópur.
      Immense show, was filmed for the dvd i think...
      Best song was popplagid (untitled 8)

      I was at that show too and I agree - it was absolutely fantastic. The crowd were a bit muted but it's my favourite Sigur Ros gig out of all the ones I've been to. I didn't know they were possibly filming it for a DVD. Do you have any more info on that?

      Here's a pic I took that night on my phone.

    • They'll do well to give that dross away. I could well imagine stacks of free CD's being returned by newsagents who's customers have chosen not to accept the gift.
