hmm...I think that reporter deserved that beating by Bjork

The thing with the reporter was that Bjork came there and was really tired and did not want to give an interview and so the reporters were ask to take their cameras off but they did not. And because Bjork was not willing to talk to the reporter the reporter wanted to talk to Sindri and asked something like: Isn't it hard to have a mother as selfish as yours?
And that was the point why she went mad and hit the reporter.
Later she wanted to appologise to Sindri but he just said something like: It's okay mom, but next time first think and then act. Would have been better to hit the man with the camera first.
I know this from a very nice little book about Bjork by Evelynn McDonnel called "Army of She" (as far as I know is this the English title).

lol, sindri looks so adorable in that video hehe, he's all like "What a big crowd...woah! did mom just attack that reporter?"

hahaha, sindri sounds smart :D
ive heard of that book, ive been interested in readin it...

What? I can never understand any of your posts...


Rins-Chan gave a great explanation of the incident.

"what?" by itself is a rather rude way of enquiring about something,dont u think so? i prefer "huh?" but even "say what?" would suffice...

anyhow... translation :P
...
thanks for posting that video. i'd heard that she felt threatened by that reporter because sindri was there riding with her... i guess it's just maternal instinct wanting to protect her kid. she also looks well shattered* at the beginning of the video...

* british slang 4 "properly exhausted"

back2topic~ id read onda website dat shed b releasin a new alum dis year, but so far no news :( give us a tentative release d8 please bjo:rk-sama... onegai...

ugh, i love bjork almost as much as i love pie.

and i love pie plenty.

*gg* that's cool Rainmaker... ^-^

Bjork will also release a new mixed version of her old albums in 5.1 surround sound on DVD... I am really excited about that because I LOVE "Medúlla" as 5.1 version (there was an audio DVD playable on every DVD-Player with the Limited DVD Edition of Medúlla ^-^)

Did anyone watch her concert at "Vespertine" performed on the stage of Royal Opera House in London? I love this concert to death... it was the first concert I watched and listened to and I only bought the DVD because it was a special sale in that store o_O and then I nearly cried because it was sooooo great!
I would love to see her live in real live.
I also watched the "Medúlla" performce for CANAL+ and it was really really really great. But there she sad in an interview that she will not tour this album. She will tour some songs of it with her next album. But since she takes some driving lessons for a big ship (she plans to go on a journey arround the world by ship with her family) I'm afraid the new album will take a while and since there were no further information on it I am really sceptical if it will really be released this year... but good Bjork always has some surprises for her fans like the new versions of her albums... so wait and see :)
I'd be really happy about a brand new album release XD

i was there!! it was unbelieveably amazing!!!
i paid &75 for a ticket, but it was worth every penny, it was so intense, i got goosebumps when she performed "all is full of love" & "unison" (one of my alltime favourite songs of hers"
bono from u2 & pj harvey were also in da audience... bono turned up late n kept us waiting a bit thou hahaha...
she is one of the most incredible live performers thou, she is one of the only artists i know who is like a million times better live than the actual cd, it was an experience of a lifetime... still havent managed2get da dvd thou >_< i want it so bad...

T-T you really were there T-T how I envy you. I would really really really really like to see her live. But as I heard she doesn't like Germany that much and from her gigography I know that there were only a few concerts in Germany in the past (one year there was even none here) and when she tours here she is in Frankfurt or somewhere else where it would be too expensive to get and her tickets cost more than 100€ (approx. 66 British Pound) but going by train and so so on would cost double more T-T
I really believe that her concerts must be great. I was so impressed by the DVD and when I listen to her live recordings o_O GREAT!

her music aint to my taste but i do like its oh so quiet

i had no clue. i'll be on the look out for it. thanks. :)

How ironic that its the only single she did not write.. :P

I got her "MTV Unplugged" DVD for my birthday and I already watched it a little. It was really nice and she wore a short yellow dress. She was really young back then but her voice was grat a always. But I think I like the Bjork of today more than the younger one.

I'm a huge Bjork fan myself!

Been listening to her for years and years, though I actuaily hated her voice when I first heard her lol...

Now some of you on this here site may have mega Ayu collections... "you have my envy ;-)" But I doubt any of you have a Bjork collection as extensive as mine lol.

I have... well... everything!
Everything "Tappi" ever released, both KUKL's (though I'm still searching for the KUKL- ala france tape), everything of the Sugarcubes, Gling Glo, and everything Bjork released solo. Also have everything on vinyl!?! :D I actuaily prefer the Sugarcubes period though.

But if I had to choose between Ayu & Bjork... I'd have to pick Ayu :)

That's something I cannot understand because both are so different an unique that I would never dare to compare them or even make a choice. I think both have their time. Sometimes I cannot listen to Bjork and sometimes I am really not in the mood for Ayus music.

I like Bjork, and I love her song Human Behavior.

I love Bjork to death she's one of my favorite artists my favorite song is 'Play Dead'. She's just so badass and unique. you have to be pretty open minded to listen to her type of music because its pretty far out

lol, did anyone know that it's pronounced "b-yerk"?

It isn't... actually is is written Bj&Ouml;rk! I think for English speakers, non-German and non-Scandinavian it is a bit difficult. I try to explain how it is actually pronounced:

&Ouml; is spoken like [ø] or [œ] ->http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96
The R after &Ouml; is spoken like rolled R or rolling R or alveolar trill [r] ->http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_trill

so it is b-y[œ][r]k

You may also check this site for more information about pronnunciation ;)

Hope you understand what I meen. I am studying German grammar including Phonetic and so on but I think my skills in explaining it to others are a bit poor.
