Cordelia ,'Potential'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Did anyone else find it weird that Bjork was singing at the opening Olympics ceremonies?
I mean, on the one hand, yay for having someone other than the Whitneys and Glorias, but on the other hand ... the only memorable thing about the song was the line "your sweat is salty." And really, that just made me giggle.
I might have enjoyed Bjork's performance at the Olympics more if Bob & Katie had SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR MORE THAN 5 SECONDS.
ahem.
In other news...
I'm listening to the new GBV Right Now! AI.....OK. But then, most of the last bunch of albums haven't blown me away. There's a few good songs and a pile that go right past me.

Why am I now thinking of Faye Dunaway and William Holden's sex scene in Network?
I am going to no shows; having missed Dar Williams at the Birchmere I must observe a period of sulking for a month.
Booooo! If you want, you can read my detailed account of seeing her last year and pretend you were there.
The new GBV is sounding a bit better to me now. Not their best work, but given how prolific they are, that's hardly a dis. I'll probably air a couple of songs from it this a.m.

If by weird you mean weidly brilliant, then yes!
Looking forward to the new album; as far as I'm concerned the more ethereal the better, Bjork is after all not to be judged by normal human criteria.
Bjork works on my last nerve.
Björk has just about the most amazing voice of anyone I'm a fan of. My fave Björk song is still "Birthday" by the Sugar Cubes. Sometimes her singing on that song sends chills down my spine....

Maybe we should judge her as a swan. I firmly believe she could break a grown man's arm with one beat of those... forelimb... thingies.

So she wore the corpse of her own kind to the Oscars?
