...at apollo, london yesterday. was anyone there? 3 new
songs...
the fans posting reviews at http://www.bjork.com/unity/ seem
to be horrified by his set :)
lets see if he's the opener tomorrow at shepherds bush too.

unbearable white noise which fankly disturbed you mentally.

"Last night was my first Bjork gig and to say I was
excited would be putting it extremely mildly. Upon arrival
we were told that a "DJ Smorgface" or something similar
would be playing from 7.30 til 8.30, and Bjork would perform
from 9 til 10.30. Instead, we were battered by an incessant
cacophany of screaming, swearing, white noise, machine gun
fire and what sounded like the inmates of a deranged
monkeyhouse. Until 9.20, with no respite and no damn let-up.
I almost went mad from the noise, people around me had coats
over their heads and generally I think that we were all very
upset by the lack of a live band and simply by the sheer
crude violence of it"


hahahahahahahaha

of a let down on the melody front

» » Good good stuff. I hope he's there tomorrow night.
I've never had the chance to see Aphex live.

» Neither did anyone at the gig last night. He was hidden
away from stage. We could only hear him and if you was lucky
then you could get a glimpse of his hand

"seemed alot of bods were getting a bit fucked off with
the music that woz going on before the start of Bjork's
show. True, it got a bit hard to listen to after about half
an hour, but the anticipation of seeing Ms B after it all
woz more than enough to make me un-annoyed. A few were
getting annoyed..... Oh well


------

"I found it a bit disturbing sitting there for Bjork to
come on and listening to that dreadful rackett, it totally
lost my excitment for bjork to come on."


------

" From the absolute horror that came from the beyond
appalling support DJ (I am all for art but that offensive
noise does not constitute it in any form, it sounded more
like a live feed from the Iraq battlefield!)"


--------

"thanks Bjork for a great concert it was our first time
seeing you and you didn't disapoint, but the support was
unbearable white noise which fankly disturbed you
mentally."


-----

"The support act was,excuse my language,absolutley
shit!There was no purpose to such noise,and when the
audience started shouting "off,off,off" the guy peered
around the curtain at the side of the stage to wave his arm
in the air!"


----

"I am sure anybody who had been at the concert last night
will understand my disappointment with the first part of the
event (the abominable 2 hours of torture from the supporting
DJ, which were a truely miserable experience). I do agree
that it was an insult to the fans and I cannot help
wondering how could Bjork ever agree to have it as a support
act. It felt like being a part of a nasty psychedelic
experiment and I if it had been for any other artist but
Bjork I would have left the place after the first half an
hour. "


man i wish i had been there!

And so what if the DJ was a little dodgy, he was loving it!
(and it wasn't matmos you dumb ass!)
The DJ only made Bjork sound even better.

uhm our last names are based on the name of the father. So
it's hardly likely that you'll be stalking anyone related to
björk. Her father name is Guðmundur

dóttir = daughter

Guðmundsdóttir = Guðmundsdaughter

bah, i bet the audiance reacted just like it should have...
i mean playing the set he played he knew the overall effect
it would have on bjork's fans...
audio destruction of people's mind, look at all the angry
reactions on the forum, and imagine the purpose of these
tracks is to upset people and make them angry?

it's tricky when you feel
that someone has done something
on your behalf

it's slippery when
your sense of justice
murmurs underneath

and it's asking
how am i going to make it right?
how am i going to make it right?

with a palmful of stars
i throw them like dice
repeatedly
repeatedly
on the table

i throw them on the table
until the desired constellation appears

how am i going to make it right?
how am i going to make it right?
how am i going to make it right?
how am i going to make it right?

and you're asking you
how am i going to make it right?
how am i going to make it right?

repeatedly
repeatedly
you're asking yourself
repeatedly
