I don't know what's going on with the folks at the Today show. In less than a week they have used small segments of Sigur Ros songs as background music for stories. Last week it was "Hoppipolla" and this morning they played the original version of "Samskeyti".

Of course the pieces were typical human interest stories and that's to be expected with the beauty of the music. But I think it would be kick ass if they used "I Gaer" or "Hjartao Hamast" for some piece about some bloody political uprising or maybe for that scene outside the Democratic convention last week. That would be awesome.
