f your newspaper-reading English grannie suddenly has a jones for some Sigur Rós, go ahead and blame London's Independent. Following in the newspaper CD giveaway steps trod by Prince, Ray Davies, and, um, McFly, the Independent will package a Sigur Rós disc into their inky pages this Saturday, January 31. But it's not a new album or anything-- in fact, the nine-song CD, dubbed We Play Endlessly, doesn't even contain any new songs. It's a quasi-greatest hits collection featuring three songs each from last year's Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust and 2005's Takk..., two from 2007's Hvarf/Heim, and one from 2004's Ba Ba Ti Ki Di Do EP. (The disc is being presented in association with Q magazine.)No word yet on whether the Icelandic band are busy hording their riches in light of Iceland's economic collapse, but they currently have no shows lined up. Fans will be able to relive all those heartbreaking crescendos at home soon when a new live DVD hits stores later this year. As previously reported, the concert film was taped at London's Alexandra Palace last November and directed by the guy behind Arcade Fire's interactive "Neon Bible" video and Miroir Noir film, Vincent Morisset.read more

Icelandic dreamers Sigur Rós are still making videos for their Valtari Film Experiment, in which every song from their new album gets a video treatment from a different visual artist. The latest, for “Dauðalognm,” is a slow, tender, atmospheric thing, in which one man carries another man — a naked man — ...
Even though Sigur Rós’s ongoing Mystery Film Experiment has given the world some pretty odd footage — like, you know, the clip where Shia LeBeouf gets naked — the clip for “Ekki Múkk” might be the strangest yet. And that’s not to say the result isn’t completely entrancing an...
