Sigur Rós

If you didn't see it last night (and you have the good fortune to live in the UK), you can pop over to the BBC IPlayer to watch last night's excellent Culture Show. The whole programme was devoted to the band Sigur Rós. I've never found them enormously accessible, but it transpires that they're a band whose music ought to be seen as well as heard.

We're now determined to see Heima somewhere...

Acoustic Highway

Vincent Browne's summer absence has been tempered somewhat by a new nightly music programme on RTE 1, Acoustic Highway. Tonight, they played tracks from Waltzing Alone from the Guggenheim Grotto and Natalie Merchant's Motherland. Both to be checked out further!
