Sigur Rós at the Fillmore, Tuesday Sept. 23

14 Sept. set

All the rain of the last couple days is nice for sitting inside, drinking tea and listening to the Cure and all that, but the humidity can stay down south. But in honour of it, a little nostalgic atmospheric electronic, and then the usual smattering of goodness.
