On Saturday, we went to see Sigur Ros at the Hordern.
An amazing show. Musical genius and ninja skills. Unique voice, and he plays his guitar with a cello bow.

WOW.
in other news,
I just found out that a mate whose indy rock band dissolved three years ago has formed another band called The Glass Ceiling and they're launching their debut EP in september at the Gaelic club. So i looked up their stuff on myspace and youtube.
Turns out they were the runners-up in this years Toohey's Extra Dry Uncharted comp for unsigned bands on MTV. For months, they were all over MTV. How cool is that?
I had no idea....
And here is a series of Glass Ceiling youtube clips. (My mate is the one who is almost embarrassed to admit that he's doing a PhD in chemistry. Would you have guessed?)
