Yeah, [url=http://www.hearya.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/thom-yorke.jpg]this[/url] was probably my face when I opened that one. It's like they have no idea who I even am.

Also, we're moving back to Maine soon, so that's kind of a huuuuge gift for all of us.

My parents aren't music people, so they really have no idea what kinds of gifts I like. I got a pretty cool sweater (I actually really love it, but a sweater is the quintessential lame Christmas present, haha) and socks and a couple of movies. AND they got me a Green Day shirt because they got my brother a shirt and they wanted to be fair and my mom "remembered me listening to them long ago" (even though I never actually listened to Green Day... ?). It's just been weird. But still a GOOD FUCKIN CHRISTMAS.

Cool shit? Not really... this has actually been a really weird Christmas. Today has just felt... off, for some reason. Still a good day, just weird.

Speaking of Heima, I almost sent you a message the other day when I saw Hvarf/Heim in a record store... I thought about getting it but I wasn't sure if it might be better to acquaint myself with their studio albums more first. Would you recommend it? Or would you recommend sticking to the studio albums for now?

That sounds amazing, I'll definitely watch it. I've been blown away by everything I've heard so far, thank you so much for introducing me.

Sigur Rós' music sounds like it was meant to be heard at the top of a place like [url=http://wallpapers.free-review.net/wallpapers/42/Snow_Mountain.jpg]this[/url]. It's incredible.

I'm so glad you like it! I actually had a sort of epiphany the first time I heard "Lately."

No worries, I really loved it. I thought if my mom noticed and asked about it I'd just explain that it was "a lyric from a Why? song we both like," haha. She'd have no idea anyway. And your artistic ability is incredible!

Of course, eventually I'll have to learn how to write all my letters to you in Icelandic.

Haha, I was so excited and eager to open it that I just kind of rushed into it while my mom was still in the room (she was looking at something outside the window) and when I unfolded it and saw "MERRY FUCKIN CHRISTMAS" I was so happy but I quickly folded it back up and put it under the envelope just in time for my mom to turn around and be all "so what does it say?". I just showed her the picture and she was just like "oooh, cool!" and then she left and I continued to enjoy the complete card. I love it so much... my internet replies do my happiness no justice. So I'll be sending you a Christmas card soon, along with a birthday present. You da best.

Today I had just put ( ) on the stereo and was starting to clean my room when my mom came upstairs with a letter that had a return address whose first line read "Sarah LaPotin"... I had such a huge smile on my face. I opened it up with the beautiful sounds of Sigur Rós in the background and it was truly magical. Thank you so much Sarah, this card is amazing.

Wait, I've got it. After the show sneak backstage and start talking with the members of Mogwai and follow them onto their tour bus. Convince them to play a surprise show in Maine, and ride in the tour bus with them up here, where we can enjoy a concert and then ride back to Austin for a second concert (third for you). By then, after all the traveling, all of us will be such good friends that they'd have no problem in driving me back up to Maine. It's a FLAWLESS plan.

Either way, I'm serious when I say that actually somehow getting this to work would be my dream, as ridiculous and far-fetched as it may be.

Exactly. I should get a ticket to see Mogwai in Austin and spend the rest of this year figuring out how to get there.

I wish we could hang out in real life and play Portal and listen to Sigur Rós all day.

Will do. Man, I don't understand how I could put off listening to this band for so long. They're amazing.

Party at my house, yo. Also, if there's one thing to know about me it's that I have a terrible addiction to buying CDs... and I happened to find Takk, ( ), and Ágætis byrjun today and picked them up. My journey into Sigur Rós bliss starts TONIGHT.

It sounds amazing, and I can't believe how many gigs you've been to in the last year. I don't think that many good bands have come to Birmingham in the past 10 years let alone in a single year. If you haven't seen Broken Social Scene before they're brilliant live, Kevin Drew stood at the edge of the stage and sang Ungrateful Litle Father (admittedly not one of my favourites), pointing at me, probably cause I was at the front and grinning massively and then when he didn't get much of a reaction cause I didn't know what to do, laughed and went along to the next person.

Has Simon introduced you to [url=http://www.last.fm/music/Nick+Drake]Nick Drake[/url] yet? I really think you'd like him. Simon could describe him so much better than I can... but you should definitely check him out sometime if you haven't already.

Yes, he is. Why did it take me so long to realize this?! I love City of Daughters so much... I listened to it while falling asleep last night with snow falling outside my window and it was so perfect. How did you get introduced to him?

It's so beautiful, it brings me pretty close to tears (yeah, I'm lame). It took me a while to start listening as well, a few people told me to listen to it but I'd been put off by the song titles, which all seemed really pretentious to me... but then when I heard the songs themselves... I was blown away, it's pretty much a perfect album. I'm really glad you like it.

On a final note for now (sorry for so many shouts at once), Godspeed You! Sarah LaPotin. Safe travels on your way home!

I'm not just saying that, though. City of Daughters was amazing. I still can't believe how long I've had some of his albums on my computer without listening to them more often... I'm going to stop this madness now, and start listening already.

I really need to get Oaklandazulasylum and Elephant Eyelash as soon as I stop having no monies. I also need to get more into Destroyer. SO GOOD.
