"Gobbledigook"

Sigur Ros's new video, Gobbledigook, makes me believe in fairies, elves, and nymphs--creatures that will be saved through recycling, hybrid cars, and other attempts at minimizing our carbon footprint.

It looks like a camera man went on a nature hike (with his camera of course...what kind of camera man goes on nature hikes through virgin forests without his trusty gear?) and stumbled upon a fairy celebration complete with bonfires, stick-banging, a wooden swing, body paint, and skinny dipping. In fact, everyone that's participating in Ros's version of a woodsy rave is frolicking, jumping, and rolling around stark naked. While there are plenty of boobs and butts, the innocent glee on faces and childhood games like hide-and-seek depicts innocence instead of perversion. It's all good, clean fun without the danger of someone's eye--or anything else--getting poked.
