musings of an ohioan who was supposed to be icelandic...

Og hér ert þú.
Today I was finally able to watch "Heima", the Sigur Rós documentary. Filmed in the summer of 2006, the documentary chronicles their return to Iceland after extensive touring around the world and is centered around them playing free, unannounced shows around their native country. Heima (Icelandic for "at home") helped me rediscover my love for this band and also incited an obsession with the country of Iceland. I've been image googling, checking plane tickets, doing research; I have to travel there. Won't you come with?
Until then, Sigur Rós on September 23rd in Detroit! That should be enough to hold me over.
