Sigur Ros is a band from Iceland that’s sold 2 million records of music that contains made-up, gibberish language. (That’s a story in and of itself, since it proves once and for all that lyrics don’t matter. Just kidding. The music is beautiful and atmospheric, and must be any video producer’s dream, since there aren’t any actual words that may conflict with the premise of a video sequence.) You may remember "Staralfur" from Life Aquatic, and other stuff from Vanilla Sky and other films.
Anyway, it’s no wonder these guys sing gibberish, they’re not the best public speakers. Taylor pointed out a recent and cringe-worthy NPR interview with the band. I dare you to see how far through it you can get…
