I could not agree more.
It's pretty much my favourite Sigur Rós piece. The impact listening to ( ), up in the mountains, during the evening (dawn included or not), has on me is also close to indescribable.

Hooray for James calling AC "dance music with repetitive rhythms". I think James was lying when he had heard one of their songs, because for christ sake, they are not even dance music. Also, something about prog fans being as bad as mainstream music fans. Am I the only person that thinks it's embarrassing to say "prog fan" or to call myself a prog fan?
I would rather say it's embarrassing and highly pretentious to flaunt one's open mindedness as if it really matters.
Kepp that in mind, pl0x.
Never did I say I was 'open minded' anywhere. How the f**k did you get that out of my post? I hate country music, I hate techno, I hate most pop music. I'm not exactly one of those who preach 'be open minded to everything' kinda people dude.
I inferred. If I was wrong then sorry. Mainly the last 2 sentences made me think of proggy closemindedness and elitism, which I can agree with in a lot of way. It could never, ever, ever be as bad as hipster elitism, though.
At least prog has some sort of justification, even if it's overhyped for mainstream prog, but in my view indie is almost a distinction without a difference most of the time because of the strict adherence to repetition and pop structures. They want it a little weird so that it doesn't sound like normal rock, but get a little too weird and it's too inaccessible. f**king Pitchfork.

I hate everyone, so at least I'm consistent.
Yeah, but indie encompasses a lot of different genres though. It covers post hardcore and post rock, and neither have strict adherences to pop structure. Half the point of post rock is that it is entirely devoid of 'normal' structure, while post hardcore, depending on the band, can do both regular rock structures or something else.

Why do so many judge AC by only listening to Merryweather?
Cos it's the only one they've heard of and they don't like digging deeper to find more cos it's not 'teh porg rawk'
No one ever said AC/MPP/Xbox is "porg rawk".
That wasn't what I said at all. Read it again. By the original post, I mean, in the same way 'mainstream' music fans don't want to dig deeper into other music to find the other stuff that isn't already easily presented to them, the hardcore prog rock fan is only going to listen to Merriweather because it is the one most easily presented to them because everyone talks about it, so they aren't going to bother digging deeper and seeing what the rest of the discography sounds like, since apparently you can judge a band based on one song. As James does, apparently
^I would have to agree with that. Many proggers seem to treat AC the same way as mainstream music fans treat prog - i.e. listening to the songs or albums most easily presented to them and not digging deeper.
But of course many don't. And I'm over-analyzing anyway.

Dude, I don't ever watch TV, I didn't even know that show was back on. My TV gets used for playing DVDs, that's it, for everything else there is the internet:P

Yeah, it's hilarious, considering for how long it said in my location stats that it was Melbourne, Aust and it's like people forgot that I'm from Aus in the short time I changed my location to Ukraine.
