WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Sigur Ros' New Video Is NC-17 But On A Hippie Note

Posted about 1 year ago
You still can't understand what Sigur Ros are singing in their native Icelandic in the band's latest single "Gobbledigook," but it sure does echo the title of the album Með Suð í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaus which translates into "with a buzz in our ear we play endlessly."The video takes the bands peaceful buzz to a mystic forest where people run free wearing nothing...kinda like in the cavemen days. (Iceland looks like so much fun!)Unfortunately, the video has been taken down from YouTube for nudity (yes, it goes full-frontal). If you want to see the video head to the band's Web site, sigurros.com or click "here.":http://www.sigurros.com/dvd3.aspThis brings up an interesting question...should YouTube air the video if it has nudity despite it being more artistic than porn-centric?

  1. laura27 says I'm pretty sure that's not in Iceland. Their landscape is more of an arctic tundra rather than woodland. Not to mention the fact they'd probably end up with hypothermia after filming that lol. I'd love to know where it is though. It is a great music video. I think it suits the music perfectly - the tribal, earthy feel.

  3. laura27 says YouTube should host it, simply with one of those 'confirm date of birth' buttons. It's understandable why they're strict on it though. One man's art is another man's.. porn.. I guess.

  5. GarageRock says I understand why Youtube takes the anti-nudity stance, but I think it should be allowed in some instances...such as this one. Then again, if they changed their bylaws they would be overwhelmed with porn...tricky issue.

  6. Groon says Wish I could watch it, but for some reason all I'm getting is a blank, white screen.
