Oh boy! Icelandic group Sigur Ros may produce the most ethereal, melodic and startlingly original music (right down to creating their own language to sing in), but they certainly weren’t in the mood for this interview as part of NPR’s Bryant Park Project. Sullen, unfriendly and uncommunicative, the band shifted uncomfortably in their seats for five minutes as the increasingly desperate host tried to coax some responses out of them. Yup, some things just weren’t meant to be.

It certainly doesn’t help that the interviewer is completely asinine and obviously hasn’t spent much time in familiarizing himself with the band, their records or the background for either. For Bryant Park’s sake, I hope this is an old interview, because there’s so much information out there about the band at this point, if the interview is current, there’s really no excuse for his being such an idiot.

“When you started with journalism, did you expect to sit in a studio one day asking a band boring standard questions?”
