yes, in a barking mad way
what he said
She's what's known in this neck of the woods as 'pots for rags'. Still one of the best live acts I've ever seen though.
Anyone who can make you think a bit differently about music today (given who and what has gone before) can claim genius I'd say.
(that's a yes)
Ok...that was a random ending to the song
One of very few musicians who actually deserve to be called an 'artist' imo.
does not float my boat
YES!!!!
Always has been as well.
Wonderful women.
I've tried listening to some of her stuff and didn't get on with it at all, I used to refer to her as Bjollorks.
That said, she's trying something new which can only be applauded.
The concert's opening song Thunderbolt featured two Tesla coils - electrical columns that shoot out small bolts of lightning to generate musical notes.
I think I have to see that
I liked the Sugarcubes.
The apps also include a brand new system of musical notation devised by Bjork
Okaaay..!
it is a concept album about nature with songs inspired by such themes as DNA, tectonic plates and crystals.
what?
i'd always assumed that iceland was quite a barren place, not just geographically, but also with regards to mind altering drugs. maybe the barreness of the place encourages you to push the boundaries inside you head.
Is she fit in a corrrr so of way though?

Amazing cheek bones and quite unique features. I think she's just ace.
mad as a box of frogs but absolutely delicious with it.
Sugarcubes at newcastle Uni in about 89 is still one of my top five gigs. After a long gap between the support act and The Sugarcubes coming on, her first words were, oddly 'Sorry I'm late but I have been shi77ing'. Still to this day not sure if she was plucking up courage to come on stage or actually, well you know.
I once saw a video of her trying to pull off a wheel clamp on her car, with her bare hands 😯
Choir to bjork: can we please wear shoes?
Bjork to choir: No! but you can wear pants, on your heads if you wish, just like me!

I think it's fair to say that insanity, is often mistaken for genius.
99% of mad people get locked up or die trying to make friends with a Lion. The other 1% end up creating the Nazi party, inventing the helicopter 500 years before anyone else does or using Tesla coils as musical instruments.
From this I think there's a fair degree of luck for people taking part in the insanity lottery
I'll get the chance to judge for myself in a few weeks she is headlinging at Camp Bestival!!
Samuri - that's the 100th Idiot theory, isn't it?
She's cute, but I'd still be nervous around her by the kitchen knife drawer

She is amazing live and is a real artist for sure. The detail she puts into her work is amazing - some of the interviews on her live DVD's are very insightful.
Jesus tonight! She's a bit Susan Boyle in that picture chunky's posted.
* rethinks my opinion of bjork's physical aspects*
Yes! Going to Manchester in a couple of weeks to see her.
I wouldn't travel up there for just anyone!
Last saw live in the Sugarcubes and was blown away, so really looking forward to it.

Breakinginger news: People get older.
I have always thought she is beautiful and especially love 'Oh So Quiet'.
Breakinginginger news: Not everyone reads Heat magazine
Stood outside the venue now. Sounds pretty good actually 😀
Lucky bleeder.
I've registered onto a "Live Gig" website that's going to send me an email when further dates are announced, just seems strange to be arranging a tour in the middle of a tour.
Nowt for That Lunnon, yet...
got a lot of time for bjork..
good looking.. pushes musical boundaries and interesting if slightly icelandic poetry in her lyrics..
what's not to like..?
20yrs ago I wanted to rush onto the stage and cuddle her to death. She's quite similar to my missus. Both I'd class as bonkers
Bonkers and rhymes with pork, what's not to like?

I have... you do...
It is just incredible
Breaking News: Publicity shots are usually Photoshopped shocker.
IMO an artist in the same way Tracey Emin or Damian Hurst are artists - con artists selling ridiculous rubbish to the gullible and credulous. But hey ho - what do I know and they are all rich
She's a bit Susan Boyle in that picture chunky's posted.
Not many 46 year old women without make-up, look much better close-up in harsh light, than Bjork does in that pic.
IMO of course.
Great! Thanks for that, TJ.
TJ jumps into a thread full of appreciation from people who like something, to let everybody know that he thinks it's rubbish.
What shall we call this tactic? I know - how about "The Edinburgh Variation"? 🙄
to let everybody know that he thinks it's rubbish.
Well he went a bit further than that......he informed us that anyone who likes is Bjork is [i]"gullible and credulous"[/i]. Which is nice to know.
And qualified it with
🙄But hey ho - what do I know and they are all rich
Merely answering the question anyway. Not allowed any more?
hey tj, why don't you show us something you've created, being the art expert you seem to think you are
EDIT - bit of a pointless post that one, because the kind of dullard who posts that kind of blanket dismissal usually reckons Hallmark cards and pics of Princes Diana framed with a rose are real "ARTWORKS". So don't worry tj, I'm not holding my breath
IMO an artist in the same way Tracey Emin or Damian Hurst are artists - con artists selling ridiculous rubbish to the gullible and credulous
I'm sure we've done the one about the artistic value of some of the work of Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst.
But, seeing as you are in the mood for answering questions, which artists or artworks do you like and why?
Magritte, Escher, Paolozzi, Moore probably my favourite visual artists.
