Lesson 2: Ágætis byrjun by Sigur Rós
In this episode, José and John talk about the 1999 album Ágætis byrjun, by Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós. Apologies in advance for butchering nearly all of the names. But if you've ever wondered what the English translations were, we've got you covered. And like all discussions about Icelandic ambient post-rock, this one eventually shifts focus to Starscream's barely controlled contempt for Megatron.
