Happy New Year and all that :)

I made a purchase at the beginning of the December and it was a most excellent purchase at that. It was the deluxe edition of the Heima DVD by Sigur Ros. This edition consists of 2 Discs and a photo album that has many photos of Iceland. It's really cool packaging.

The idea being Heima is the following (As taken from the site)

"Last year, in the endless magic hour of the Icelandic summer, Sigur Rós played a series of concerts around their homeland. Combining both the biggest and smallest shows of their career, the entire tour was filmed, and now provides a unique insight into one of the world’s shyest and least understood bands captured live in their natural habitat.

The culmination of more than a year spent promoting their hugely successful ‘Takk…’ album around the world, the Icelandic tour was free to all-comers and went largely unannounced. Playing in deserted fish factories, outsider art follies, far-flung community halls, sylvan fields, darkened caves and the hoofprint of Odin’s horse, Sleipnir*, the band reached an entirely new spectrum of the Icelandic population; young and old, ardent and merely quizzical, entirely by word-of-mouth."

The first disc basically shows their tour around Iceland. The quality of the images are amaaazing...Iceland looks so pretty and magical. The music is also awesome (I really like Sigur Ros if you haven't guessed by now :P).

So I'd say that's one of my best purchases of 2007.
Here are some clips from the movie:
The Trailer (with the song I Gaer playing in the background. Purely epic song!)

That's it :)

Also, I went to one concert this year - The Dresden Dolls. It was great! You can read a review on Paw's blog. I never been to a show where there have been 2 opening bands, 1 acrobat and then the headliner. On top of that, the Dresden Dolls opened their part of the show with "In the Flesh" - Pink Floyd cover. What a great way to start a show. I love that song :D Youtube has a clip of them doing it on new years eve.

Until Next Time!
