Was listening to Philip Glass' Glassworks album on my headset, and ever since Sam's "sneek peek post":http://mog.com/Sam_The_Artist/blog_post/161040I have been digging deeper in to Sigur, and must say that the connection here runs pretty deep... Hypnos, God of Dreams, eases forth and makes me glad that I chucked work to the side this Holiday Weekend (I mean, we all fall victim to the Workaholic...

Glossolalia is the term used for fabricated and non-meaningful speech. It can cover everything from the simple babble of a baby to the gift of speaking in tongues associated with certain religous faiths. In either extreme, it is often attributed to an outpouring of joy or extreme emotion. Something easily heard in the song Glosoli by Sigur Ros. I don't know Icelandic; so, the words sound li...

One evening of sophomore year at college, I had my dorm room to myself as my best friend and roommate Colin was in the library studying. Instead of working on more insipid pre-calculus homework, I took a well-deserved break and turned on Colin's television, as I didn't have one of my own at the time.
