  2. Oh, #MusicWomenWednesday again! Luckily, I came prepared!

    Today, a trilogy of songs, the Isobel Cycle by #Björk:
    - Human Behaviour youtube.com/watch?v=p0mRIhK9seg
    - Isobel youtube.com/watch?v=n7DTG7fD_Es
    - Bachelorette youtube.com/watch?v=JNJv-Ebi67I
    from her first, second and third album, respectively. Very Björk, but still very easy to listen to :)

  3. @MetalheadDana #Björk #Hunter #Homogenic 1997

    I picked this up in the late 90’s - it’s filled with samples taken on a recorder in native Iceland.

    “Björk explained her vision for the Homogenic cover, which carries a resemblance to "someone who is put into an impossible situation, so impossible that she has to become a warrior. A warrior who has to fight not with weapons, but with love”

  4. The weirdest album you will hear today:
    Gling-Gló by Björk (Guðmundsdóttir) & tríó Guðmundar Ingólfssonar

    You will never hear Björk singing jazzy/lounge songs like this:

  7. Música en junio. No tenía la costumbre de escuchar soundtracks, este mes fueron los de Linda Linda Linda y O Agente Secreto, que me llevó a Morricone Segreto Songbook (que a su vez me hizo recordar la época en la que me puse a ver un montón de Westerns). Björk, Sex Pistols y lo nuevo de Fatoumata Diawara y Duman.

  8. In immersive exhibitions in Iceland, Björk works across painting, video and music.

    The National Gallery of Iceland is hosting two major new exhibitions celebrating the multi-faceted craft of the singer, musician, artist, conceptualist and fashion-forward being from another dimension.

  9. I'm not too proud to admit it.
    I had never until today looked up the history/origin/background of Björk's "It's Oh So Quiet."

    I knew vaguely it wasn't like a 100% Björk original or had some other associations, etc…

    And god damn. If it doesn't make EVERYTHING MAKE SENSE that this was first a big hit for Betty Hutton. Context, context, context. I get it now. I get it. I pretended to get it before. I actually get it now.
