Los Angeles - The homepage of Google's (NASD: GOOG) YouTube tomorrow will be taken over by the Icelandic band Sigur Ros, whose feature-length documentary "Heima" will be offered for streaming in its entirety. The rest of the page will feature the band's selections of the 10 best entries in its "Minn Heima" competition, which asked fans to create their own version of the film -- which features the band performing in far-flung locales in their home country of Iceland -- using audio and video clips posted online. The online screening is the first full-length music DVD to be featured by YouTube.
