Sigur Ros

[entelein]

I saw them tonight at the Chicago Theater (lovely venue).

Amazing.

I sat very still and drank it all in, and wished I were in thousand other places at the same time, while still being able to hear the music.

Hearing that sound live is one of the better things in life. Hearing that sound and being able to drown in it, completely sober, is also a wonderful thing. I can still feel it thrumming in my bones and swimming in my eyes and tingling on my lips.

Reflective, absorbent, full of light.

i'm seeing them here on Oct. 1, and i really can't wait. yours is another in a long line of glowing reviews. i'm savoring the anticipation.

in my own concert experience tonight, i saw Dead Can Dance, which was also breathtaking and utterly absorbing. it's something i waited 15 years for, and i wasn't disappointed. if there's any way you can get to see them, i highly recommend it; best show i've seen in a long time.

Ooooo. Lisa Gerrard was in Chicago solo some years back, and I was *this* close to going.

Hi, Krystyn!

Woody - I thought I had dropped my car key at the store, which is why I said goodbye so quickly. I then had to call my brother back, and so I never got to call you back. I am sorry! It was nice to talk to you! We'll have to chat again soon sometime!

hey! was that YOU who sent me a note about Sigur Ros via wireless web???

[entelein.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I texted you from my phone!

That text cost me $0.78!!!

I am not set up for the texting. It came through via wireless web. I have no idea what that even means apart from $. You are forgiven because of hazelnutty-goodness. :)

Am I gonna have to make fun of your phone like I make fun of Ozy's phone??????????

That's not a phone. That's a paper cup with a string that the phone companies charge him for.

I do not need a stupid technologically-current phone because all the important messages I need to know are either BEAMED DIRECTLY INTO MY BRAIN by my robot masters or TATTOOED FORCIBLY ON MY FOREHEAD by roving bands of marauding pirates.

I have ALWAYS wanted to see them. I got to see Mogwai a while back and they're beautiful, but SR is beautifulest.

I do not really know Mogwai, I don't think!

Yeah, I keep thinking back on the concert, and I like the experience more and more, the more I think.
