This last Monday, Emily and I had tickets to see Sigur Ros in Portland. We decided to head down a day early and spend the night in the lovely city to the south to get away from the regular pace of life, if only for a short while. Thus, it only made sense to have a Portland theme for this week’s...
Went to Montreal this weekend. It was fun. I'm sure people were looking a little down on me because I don't speak french, therefore made me look like I didn't not belong there. But its ok. I just ignored it. Just like a child ignoring a nagging parent. Whatever, they got my money. Old Montreal was...
i love when people say 'this song makes me feel like home.' it means a lot to me. there have been so many different songs in my life that have truly made a difference for me, whether for their positive or negative messages or tones. i distinctly remember i point in time where i was obsessed with...
with some Sigur Ros.
I had a slightly better night's sleep last night - still not great, and it was more dozing than sleeping, but at least I didn't wake up feeling like I was dying. Our regional manager can be a bit of a stick-in-the-mud sometimes, but actually on reflection is a pretty nice guy who cares about his...

Although at it's core, it is really just music, it feels something much more than that. They go through your ears, skip your brain leaving you of all thought process, almost in a...

"Listening to Sigur Ros is like falling in love for the first time. You feel flustered, and you know it's going somewhere good, but you can't exactly explain why. It's light, fun and endearing. Then when you finally realize what it is, all your senses blank out for a moment or two with this amazing...
