Beauty Happens.

Balam acab - See Birds. One of the more interesting electronic EPs this year

Sigur Ros "Heima"

Chances are, you are not an indie hipster. The kind who knee jerk purchases everything on the pitchfork best new music list in between sips of your modified several times over starbucks beverage. In which case you might not have heard of Sigur Ros.

In which case now is the time educate yourself of the Sigur Ros experience. And do by watching the film Heima, showcasing the beautiful country of Iceland in context with the music of the band.

One can't help but consider the power of music in this venue, stripped down from the recording business, RIAA, ticket master, and MTV, even if that transition is of an economical necessity. But in this raw form, with free unannounced concerts by a world renowned band in their homeland, and sometimes including local musicians we come full circle in the musical experience. Not only is the film about a band going back to its own roots, it brings music itself back to its roots. Unconventional, a collective forged by pure individual desire, more primal than the depths of any religion or creed.
