Hello.
Sigur Ros and YouTube make a little bit of history this Friday (Mar 7) with the band taking over the entire front page of the site around the world for a whole day, becoming the first group to ever have a feature-length music DVD streamed on the channel, with their acclaimed 'Heima' documentary shown in its complete 97-minute glory.
All 12 available slots on YouTube's home page will be devoted to the Icelandic quartet for a full 24-hours, putting them before a global audience of hundreds of millions. The link-up follows the success of 'Minn Heima', a competition hosted by YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/group/MinnHeima) for fans of the band to create their own little version of 'Heima', using audio and video clips posted online. The 10 best entries, as judged by the band, will be featured on the home page, alongside the film itself, as well as a special message from the band, taking time off from recording their new album in Reykjavik.
YouTube has only previously hosted a handful of long form presentations, none for music DVDs. It is the first ever UK home page "takeover" since the launch of uk.youtube.com - the localized home page that allows for country-specific video rankings and comments.
Simultaneous with the YouTube promotion, the band will launch www.sigurros.com, giving away a free audio-visual download clip of the song 'Ny Batteri' filmed live in Reykjavik in the summer of 2006 as part of the Heima tour. 'Ny Batteri' is just one of a dozen additional songs not featured in the film that the band are intending to make available via the site in the near future. Information about the forthcoming album will also be revealed via www.sigurros.com…
Heima is great... but don't waste your time watching a low quality stream from Youtube... go out and get the damned dvd, now. Or "acquire it" by some other means.
It's so good, it deserves to be viewed in the highest quality possible.
That could work, and it would be good, as far a late night conflicts go... but they NEED a late night spot more than anyone on the line up, in my opinion.

Exactly.
Latenight.
Just close your eyes and try to picture it any other way....
you know thinking about it i think a pre-headlining spot would work for them.
sigur ros>Pearljam>MMJ?
I think my brain would melt if this were to happen. Three of my fav artists in a row, I dont know if I woul even be able to handle all of that musical goodness....

sigur ros will not pre-headline anyone...i guarantee it. if you don't believe me, watch their "Heima" dvd. and NOT on youtube. go out and buy it...its completely worth $20.
the visuals for their show are meant to be seen at night...not in the evening. i think it should be PJ>sigur ros>disco biscuits to bring us into the morning
Yeah, it would... but there are so many acts this year that are almost too logical to play late night: Levon Helm Umphrey's Bisco Ghostland MSTRKRFT Kanye Talib Sigur Ros ZPZ !!! MGMT
not to mention the confirmed late nights in MMJ and Phil Lesh.
Some of these people are gonna be pushed to late afternoon sets, unfortunately.

I think it would be cool if everyone sat down and chilled on the grass during Sigur Ros' performance. I realize this is unlikely, but I just think it would be cool and different.
^One could only hope... there are gonna be some people out of their minds standing staring at the stage like zombies, I could be one of those people, but I'm thinking of getting a decent spot on the outskirts of the tent and chill on a blanket or in a chair.
