A Modest Construct

Ben’s thought for the day

If a scruffy misanthrope wearing a dirty baseball cap and driving a pickup truck can be listening to Sigur Rós’ Takk… while he waits at a red light, well…. there’s hope for anybody.

  1. Sigur Rós are slowly but surely being forced upon the masses over here. The first time I noticed their music on the telly was for a trailer for the BBC’s Planet Earth in March (Hoppípolla), then bits of Ágætis Byrjun were used for Comic Relief in July, I think there was another trailer using another one from Takk… (probably Glósóli), then my parents saw the Glósóli video on Classic FM TV, and a few days ago I saw a trailer on Sky Sports that used Sæglópur or Gong. And it is good.
