Björk or what?

Radiohead's been on the topic list too. I wonder how the
pop preferences constellate. What do you think?

Me, I think she's super. What hope have brainwashed youths
without Björk & Radiohead and Spaceghost to bind it all
together?

Even if you hate 'er, want to slit selma's throat, lemme
know. I wanna take a nap w/her.

bjork is very nice. i have debut, post, and the dancer in
the dark soundtrack. my friend thinks i'm crazy cause i
like debut more than post.

... doesn't get any better than venus as a boy, i'm afraid

i don't think I could pick a favorite album, not even an
un-favorite. song-wise, i'd go (at present) with "so broken"
and its flamencoey guitar, or maybe joga or one or another
of its remixes. Depends on how much melancholy I'm
harboring. And that's not taking vespertine into acc't…

vespertine is verrrrrrrrrry nice.. but she is so great....
can't discribe her. she's aphex twin big in my eyes. Her
voice.... *SOUND ORGASM*.......

Vespertine indeed, though I've not had as much chance as I'd
like to delve through it.

homogenic is my fav and i love pluto.... dont ask me why.
anyway debut is much better than post
bjork is very good but i think is time for her to
investigate a bit further

i don't really thinnk bjork, and radiohead are part of the
brian washed youth culture. as a matter of fact, that
statement kinda pisses me off.

i love bjork. she's hot. she's talented. and i was RAISED on
the sugar cubes, and have grown up with her... she's like an
aunt or some thing...

I'm equally interested in Björk as in Aphex and that says
something. Very, very good stuff I think...

i don't wanna piss you off thanksomuch, i was just being
silly. I'm (need I say it) very critical of "brainwashed"
pop culture, and think it's great that artists like
radiohead & björk have managed to infiltrate the choking
corporate system of commercial success with their artistic
and creative genius.

i have recently purchased several Bjork cd's and i'm
amazed....i appreciate her orginality and her voice is
certainly otherworldly. if she's gonna be a coachella i am
SO THERE....woo hoo =o)

I saw Bjork live some years back, and it's still the best
show I've seen.... she had the whole room in the palm of her
cute little elvin hand... (sssssiiiiiiggghhhh) Radiohead is
right up there as well, of course!!!

Bjork is far above Aphex on my list. I love everything she
has done, but Vespertine is such a huge step forward it
blows everything else away (excluding Dancer in the Dark
which isn't to be compared with her albums, imo). The whole
album is so intimate it makes squirm in pleasure!

The video is directed by a Japanese woman called Eiko
Ishioka.

It's not Chris Cunningham, but an asian woman whose name
(like most names) has slipped my mind at the moment. There's
a lot about it on the bjork.com site, though.

I like the cocoon video, but I really find it weaker than
many of her others. Pagan poetry, though, wow.

From bjork.com:

"EIKO ISHIOKA is a revolutionary artist whose
internationally acclaimed work for stage, screen,
advertising, and print media has made her one of the
premiere visual artists of the 20th century. Best known as
the Academy Award winner for costume design for Bram
Stoker’s Dracula, Eiko’s provocative and shockingly
beautiful vision can be seen on August 18th in The Cell,
starring Jennifer Lopez.

Eiko’s long list of credits includes the 1985 Cannes Film
Festival Award for Artistic Contribution for her production
design of Paul Schrader’s film Mishima, a Tony nomination
for the stage and costume design of the Broadway play "M.
Butterfly," and a Grammy Award for the art work for Miles
Davis’ "Tutu" album, to name just a few. Most recently,
Eiko brought her creative sensibilities to bear on the
conservative opera world with her costume design for Richard
Wagner’s "Ring Cycle," at the Netherlands National Opera.

Eiko Ishioka was born in Tokyo and graduated from the Tokyo
National University of Fine Arts and Music. Her work is
included in the permanent collection of museums throughout
the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
In1992 she was selected to be a member of the New York Art
Directors Club Hall of Fame."

I find out that some songs without the singing would sound
like heaven to me, although I have to agree that no one can
sing like her! Hei now what would happen if Björk and Aphex
Twin mixed! I can allmost hear it in my mind.

I despise her voice, and her sense of melody, it's just...
ugh, I can't stand her. I've liked the music I've heard from
her, but the singing just keeps me away.

I love her music... like Vespertine, Homogenic, and
Selmasongs are great... but I find her voice works better
with the louder more aggressive music on Homogenic then
Vespertine... her voice kind of annoys me on Vespertine,
which is a shame because the music is beautiful...

iono, i'd have to say björk's voice strikes me as one of
the most beautiful, well-used, and well-rooted (whatever
that means) voices ever used in pop music. Gives me the
willies, the goosebumps, the warm fuzzies, all sorts of
inspired melodic ecstasies…
