If I found any screws, I would take it apart to see if I could determine how it worked. Seldom one to accept things at face value, I can be okay if I grasp concept, but often get frustrated if I do not quite understand how things work.<br /><br />This morning I had the epiphany that this is not always the case. In the constant quest to understand myself better, I realized the when it comes to literature, art, and music I am very much okay with not understanding any hidden message. These are things that I enjoy very much and have an appreciation for, but never quite cared all that much to understand any deeper meaning.<br /><br />Case in point the musical group Sigur Ros. They released a new album called “<strong>Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust</strong>” Um… yeah… Me neither. They are Icelandic and I cannot understand a word they are “singing” but find the sound rich, layered, and intriguing. This being I believe their 5th release. I’d have a hard time identifying songs from one album or the next. I really enjoy the sound. Free song samples are available here: <a href="http://www.sigurros.com/main/AlbumList.asp?ArID=1&amp;AID=64&amp;lng=EN">http://www.sigurros.com/main/AlbumList.asp?ArID=1&amp;AID=64&amp;lng=EN</a><br /><br />I’ve always enjoyed music<strong> a lot</strong>. I've managed to collect hundreds of CD's over the years from an eclectic mix of artists. I have zero musical talent and have no real desire to attempt to produce my own noise. Recently been enjoying: Orchestra Baobab, Sigur Ros, the new Coldplay, Moby, Caribou, and stuck enjoying The Polyphonic Spree. Always looking around for interesting sights, sounds, and other things I don’t understand. I’m okay with that.Reflector Collectorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10476632080737052238noreply@blogger.com
