sigur ros competed in the icelandic music quiz show popppunktur last night. on popppunktur two bands compete against one another answering questions about pop music. sigur ros minus jonsi (overseas at the time) went up against the 80s pop group ahoefnin a halastjoernunni and won 31-15, correctly answering questions about manic street preachers, dolly parton, eurovision, rolling stones, frank sinatra and simply red, to name a few. fun segments included kjartan making a surprisingly impressive long jump towards an easy question, and sigur ros having to perform an impromptu version of an old song by folk pop singer bubbi morthens.

sigur ros will compete on popppunktur again later in the summer when the semi-finals start. other bands competing this season include mum, fm belfast and sprengjuhoellin.
