music recommendations for the day:
so i was talking to ryanabout music. he had mentioned a couple of artists in which i am dying to listen to. one of them is sigur ros:



sigur ros

"if you like radiohead, you would like these guys,"says ryan

excerpt on them:
all of the vocals ( ) are however in hopelandic. hopelandic (vonlenska in icelandic) is the 'invented language' in which jónsi sings before lyrics are written to the vocals. it's of course not an actual language by definition (no vocabulary, grammar, etc.), it's rather a form of gibberish vocals that fits to the music and acts as another instrument. jónsi likens it with what singers sometimes do when they've decided on the melody but haven't written the lyrics yet. many languages were considered to be used on ( ), including english, but they decided on hopelandic. hopelandic (vonlenska) got its name from first song which jónsi sang it on...

THEY MADE THEIR OWN LANGUAGE??? DAMN...

next is Joss Stone



joss stone

"mark my words Joss Stone will be to soul music as Norah Jones was to jazz...If there is one thing you can take away from my friendship, it's that this girl will blow you away--ryan
