Exclusive Sigur Rós playback on Myspace
disnews by DiS News September 9th, 2005
For those of you who haven't already broken the law and spoiled the excitement by downloading the new LP from a peer-to-peer service, Icelandic post-rock beauty-mongerers Sigur Rós have made their entire new album available for listening on Myspace.

The event marks yet another exclusive for the website, which now receives more monthly hits than Yahoo! or MSN. Others have included Weezer whose most recent LP was given a three-month early showing on the site.

Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp recently bought Myspace's holding company Intermix Media for $580m, but the site is currently subject to a legal wrangle that may involve that annoying Tom character who instantly becomes everyone's friend when they join.

Click here for Sigur Rós on Myspace (and DiS Recordings).
