our first update in 2009. welcome! time for a quick roundup….

on izotope there is an interview with birgir jón birgisson (aka. biggi) who is manager/engineer at the sundlaugin studios. he talks about goings on with the studio, recording with the band, recording heima aswell as some of the more technical parts of the recording process.

in the independent newspaper in the united kingdom this coming saturday (i.e. january 31st) there will be a free special sigur rós cd. its called “sigur rós: we play endlessly”, and will feature nine songs from three of the bands albums (presumably their latest three albums). more information here.

last year a photo of jónsi was featured as part of the “portraits of adventure” photo exhibition (and later book). the photo, taken by alastair thain, was exhibitied as a ten metre high print. the book can be purchased on amazon.co.uk (with a portion of the cost going to the british red cross).
