If ever there was proof of the existence of elves, Bjork is as close as I've ever seen.
'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.
I love Bjork, right down to her swan dress. Just not sure I'll love the newest record is all. As far as voices, hers is amazing.
Bjork's "Bachelorette" is one of those songs that makes me want to get a giant billboard in downtown Seattle proclaiming it to be the coolest song ever.
We did a cool-ass dance piece to "All is Full of Love" in college. It was a modern piece and while we were brainstorming, one of us looked at the ceiling, where a ten foot snake puppet was hanging, and said "We should put that in it." The end result was three disgruntled techies on their stomachs on rollerboards, with the snake strapped to their backs, slithering all over the stage.
Moral of the story? Bjork makes people do strange things.
Bjork makes people do strange things.
And her ideal man is David Attenborough!

For some reason, I read that as David Lynch, and my head damn near 'sploded.
So 'splodey, in fact, that I posted twice.
Last night was the second day of North vs. South in Lawrence. A "hard-pop music festival" highlighting bands from Austin and Minneapolis. I got to see a very animated Ol Yeller (Minn.) play for a crowd of a decent size (I've seen them several times in front of five people and they deserve a lot more than that) and very fun set from Grand Champeen from Austin that ended with an all bar sing along of "Can't Hardly Wait." Good times.
I recommend both bands to Austin and Minneapolis-istas who have not seen them yet.
Tonight's Grant Hart from Husker Du. Yay.
For the record, The Streets album did not make me cry but I do like it.
I just got a burn of the Streets album last night and haven't listened to it yet.
I like ol' Grand Champeen, Tina. Glad you enjoyed them.
Anyone know if The Wallets Take It has ever been released on CD? I can find used LPs but that's about it.
(The Wallets were a mid '80s Minneapolis band. They were on Twin Tone.)
