Happy Sigur Rós Day!

As we mentioned yesterday, Sigur Rós spent today taking over youtube, becoming the first band ever to be featured on the internet’s second busiest websites.

Their acclaimed ‘Heima’ documentary is being shown in its complete 97-minute glory. The band will also choose 10 videos to be shown on YouTube’s home page for a full 24-hours, putting them before a global audience of hundreds of millions.

The takeover follows the success of ‘Minn Heima’, a competition hosted on YouTube, for fans of the quartet to create their own version of ‘Heima’, using audio and video clips posted online.
