Disambiguation

This probably needs a disambiguation page so as to avoid confusion with the beverage of the same name from General Mills.

Með blóðnasir

"Með blóðnasir": I would have said this meant 'Having a nosebleed' rather than 'With a nosebleed' - after all, 'Ég er með blóðnasir' would mean 'I have a nosebleed', not 'I am with a nosebleed'. I have changed it to reflect this. Correct me if I am wrong. Benny 13:01, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

However, when I put it into two separate translators it said 'My Truth' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.221.205.196 (talk) 17:19, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hopelandic

I know that 'Milano' contains Hopelandic, and I'm fairly sure that 'Hoppipolla' does too. Anyone else help with this? Benny 11:07, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. I updated the article with more information about this. 134.84.96.60 04:30, 12 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks 134.84.96.60. There's more than I thought on this album. Benny 17:50, 12 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Glósóli

Please Note: Glósóli does not mean 'glowing sole(s)' (Guardian journalist's error) or 'sunshine' (too loose). The nearest I can get is 'Glow-Sun' although feel free to shout me down on this one if you are a native speaker. Benny 17:46, 12 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In Icelandic, sól = sun and sóli = sole. The band members and the official website have confirmed this. Ghotistix 08:47, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In the last couple of days, it changed from 'Glowing Sole' to 'Glowing Sun'. I've changed it to 'Glowing sole' to conform with the official website. I also changed 'Thanks...' to 'Thank you...' wbm (talk) 11:58, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't the Label Geffen?

I believe the album belongs to the Geffen label, rather than EMI. The website http://www.sigur-ros.is/takk.html states that it was published by Universal Music Publishing Ltd, which "is now part of Universal Music Group." according to Geffen_Records. However, my US copy of Takk... has a label on the back that reads: "The copyright in this sound recording is owned by Sigur Ros under exclusive license to Geffen Records in the USA and Canada." Would it be appropriate to change the Label from EMI to Geffen?

The tiny print on my copy of the CD says "The copyright in this sound recording is owned by Sigur Rós [with an acute] under exclusive licence to EMI Records Ltd". I bought the CD in Australia, but the only evidence of regionalisation it has on it is "Made in the EU". It's quite possible that there's a North American release (by Geffen) and a separate rest-of-the-world release (by EMI).

Glósóli video

When the children reach the cliff they jump off and fly away.

Is it just me, or does the last kid fall down rather than fly away? --Qviri (talk) 12:43, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that, officially, he flew away, but it's still OK for viewers to interpret it otherwise. (It says this somewhere in here). --Dave ~ (talk) 13:13, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, thanks a lot (that was fast!). --Qviri (talk) 13:23, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Track Names & Capitals

On my copy of Takk... 'Heysátan' is uncapitalised and 'blóðnasir' does have a capital. Should I change the tracklist or is there a more 'official' version somewhere on the internet on whose authority it rests? --ZephyrAnycon 02:59, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the capitalisations on the cover are just stylistic, and part of the cover-art. I don't think it's supposed to be an official guide to capitalisation - ie. I don't think that Sigur Rós meant for the capitalisation/lack of capitalisation of the titles to be significant. I'd be in favour of leaving the tracklist as it is. --Dave ~ (talk) 13:03, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd go with the official Icelandic standards (first letter uppercase, the rest lowercase except names). --Gika 23:16, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I actually asked about this here yesterday, in light of articles for Svefn-g-englar and Viðrar vel til loftárása being moved to uppercased spellings. I have also discovered [1] which contains scans of booklets for most if not all of Sigur Rós' CDs, which is useful for checking case as presented by the artists.

I capitalised Bloðnasir in this article today based on those. Didn't touch Heysátan... not really sure what's going on with that. --Qviri (talk) 03:46, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Beeb gets viral?

Anybody thought that the BBC is orchestrating a highly thought out viral marketing campaign for Takk... with its placement of the two recent singles? Although this is only a semi-serious comment, you have to wonder what effect the high-profile usage of the songs has had on their chart position... Nikevs 21:15, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Analog Recording

Shouldn't someone put in here that Takk was recorded 100% analog instead of digital? Maybe put it near the vinyl sentence? Endlessmug 04:17, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

takk..

does anyone knows in which languages is the word takk, because in icelandic it would be þakk, and the others languages that have takk as "thanks" are norwegian and faroese..thanks:)

I'm not a native, and it's a while since I've spoken any Icelandic, but as far as I can recall, takk is "thanks" in Icelandic. The verb þakka means "to thank", but the word for "thank you" is takk. --Dave ~ (talk) 20:34, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fifth Album? I disagree

Takk.. is the fourth studio album. They say so specifically on their about page on the .uk site. I don't think that the Van remix album is counted as only one song is performed by them, and is not really a typical studio album. Analagous perhaps to Interpretaciones del Oso by Minus the Bear. I am changing it now. --Eriot 0:03, 23 August, 2007 (UTC)

tracklisting

Is there a source for the "Hoppípolla afturbak" and "Gong endir" parenthetical titles? As far as I recall these were only used on pre-release leaks obtained off the internet. --72.142.191.144 16:14, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Svo hljótt

Is "Svo hljótt" in Icelandic or Hopelandic? It's not listed among the Hopelandic tracks in this article, but I can't find any lyrics or English translations for it online. Jphillst 19:42, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Svo Hljótt begins in Icelandic, then switches to Hopelandic around 4:20. There's a (long) discussion about the lyrics on Takk... in this thread on the Sigur Rós message board. --Malfidus ~ (talk) 09:41, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
