I really love it how Björk can explore so many genres, but still sounding so Björk.
The only 3 albums i fully know this far, (Homogenic, Vespertine and Debut) are all very different from each other, but they are still great in their own way.

Dude...wait until you hear Medúlla

Listen to Homogenic. That song seems to be pretty popular around here.

I know you particularly enjoy her very "stringy" songs, have you ever heard Sod Off? It's beautiful. I think you'd like it.

Is it a B-side or something?

I love Bjork, especially this:

Declare Independance Live on Jools Holland, and although it has its flaws, watching all great musicians in the audience whitnessing this piece of energetic art is beyond awesome.

Yeah, it's on the Joga single. It's beautifully aggressive.

I just watched Dancer in the Dark again. There isn't any other movie that hits me as hard as that.

Since last time the thread was bumped I got Volta. Stupidest packaging ever, but the album is good. Declare Independence is fantastic.

sonatafanica · « **Reply #80 on:** January 31, 2011, 02:44:17 PM »

Oooh, you should get the Voltaic DVD. The live version of Army of Me is even more

than usual.

I had a dream last night that Bjork's son was on a field being a little cunt and whacking golf balls into a crowd where I was sitting with some friends. So myself and a friend went down to the field to sort him out and started hitting him with his golf clubs, which turned into screwdrivers, but it was one of those dreams where your strikes have no effect, so that sucked. So anyway, after beating on Bjork's son for a little bit we hear a voice from the top of a hill, which turns out to be Bjork. She comes down onto the field, and she's clearly livid. She starts throwing screwdrivers at us like throwing knives, it was scary as shit. We're running away and everything but she says "I can see your heartbeat!" or something like that, and throws a screwdriver that pierces my friend's forehead. It was creepy.

Thank you for your time.

Orbert · « **Reply #84 on:** February 02, 2011, 01:23:40 PM »

Björk is cute and all, but you have to admit, she's pretty nuts. I would not want to piss her off by attacking her son with screwdrivers or golf clubs.

Orbert · « **Reply #85 on:** February 02, 2011, 01:29:37 PM »

Do you enjoy grapefruit?

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #87 on:** February 02, 2011, 01:36:35 PM »

I watched WAY too much of that. How long does it go on?

Orbert · « **Reply #88 on:** February 02, 2011, 01:41:02 PM »

Too long IMO, but it's entertaining.

glaurung · « **Reply #89 on:** February 02, 2011, 04:54:25 PM »

The horns at the End of Earth intruders go on for way too long. 10 or so seconds would have been fine. But it goes on and on for over a minute and just gets to be really annoying. Great song otherwise!

It reminds me of the BE BE BE BE BE BE BE BE BE BE of Violently Happy. That goes on long enough it starts getting annoying.

Zantera · « **Reply #90 on:** February 03, 2011, 02:46:43 AM »

I don't think Volta is getting too much love, I think it's amazing.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great record! I was just listening to Earth Intruders and the ending got on my nerves enough I felt like complaining.

Ok. I'm deciding to give Björk some listens.

I listened to the first album. I don't know what to think.

sums it all up for me

Do you mean Debut? You'd do much better to start with Post...

jsem · « **Reply #95 on:** February 03, 2011, 04:52:06 PM »

I'll listen to it tomorrow.

sonatafanica · « **Reply #96 on:** February 03, 2011, 05:03:26 PM »

I started with Debut, and look at me now.

glaurung · « **Reply #97 on:** February 03, 2011, 05:05:01 PM »

Homogenic is the best them.

Strings everywhere in that bitch.

Lowdz · « **Reply #98 on:** February 04, 2011, 12:45:51 PM »

I can recognise the genius/madness in it but it's not my thing. At all.

And I'm pretty sure she would be the most mental girlfriend you ever had.

Time for some Possibly Maybe appreciation up in here

go for it

Listened to Post. This was

just like Debut. But I'm beginning to like this crap more and more. It's growing on me...
There's something that rubs me the wrong way with the music, and that's what attracts me to it. Really strange. I can't explain it. It's just

It's Oh So Quiet is just an epic track. I love swing, and always have. Easily the best song that I can accept with my "normal" ears.. Her vocals on it are

Argh. I'm turning into sonata.

Also, can someone tell me the deal about her and her accent? I know she's icelandic...but in some interviews she speaks radically different from other interviews. Like.. WUT!?

sonatafanica · « **Reply #103 on:** February 06, 2011, 06:14:04 PM »

If they're from different album eras, that makes sense. She moved to London early on and her accent became more and more English as time went on. It's still an Icelandic accent, but it gets mixed more.

glaurung · « **Reply #104 on:** March 15, 2011, 02:00:39 PM »

BUMP

Chris, why didn't you force me to listen to listen to Medulla sooner? It's great! Completely unlike anything I've ever heard, but great!
