Here’s official word on the album: *Sigur Ros’s We Play Endlessly will be given away free with The Independent on Saturday on January 31st. Offered in association with Q magazine, We Play Endlessly features nine tracks taken from three of their critically acclaimed albums, including the hugely popular ‘Hoppipolla’ and ‘Saeglopur’.*
Here’s the story: *Q challenged the super prolific Guillemots to write and record a song from scratch in just 24 hours. The band stopped by their East London studio to document the songwriting process - which, this being Guillemots, involved car keys, scissors, a camera shutter and a hoover pipe!* Watch the ‘making of’ plus a teaser of the tune below.

Waiting... One of the things that gets under my skin is having to wait for a music download to finish. I usually end up playing something silly, like online bingo or some other flash game, while I'm trying to kill some time. It's an easy way to kill 10 minutes while waiting.
