SO, Jónsi of Sigur Rós is a rare bird…

No, he’s not a stuffed penguin.  But his glimpse into the studio for the upcoming album, Go, is fun and just what I’d expect from him.  All I know is that if his promised tour hits anywhere close to me, I’m sooooo fucking going.  Pardon my French, but… Je baise ainsi aller à ce concert.

He’s a rare bird, in that I think musically he hits me in a way that others don’t and/or can’t.  The little snippets of sound coming from Jonsi.com are spot on what I want to hear.  Plus he’s got the aesthetic approach that can do no wrong in my book.  Check out his recent PR shots (shot by Lilja & Inga Birgisdóttir and posted on his Facebook page):

Proof for aliens.  Icelandic people can’t possibly be human.  They make things that are too beautiful.
