That biatch is a whole lotta crazy wrapped up in a small, weird package... she attacks reporters on a regular basis - just do a search on youtube, if you don't believe me.

I have been part of the army of Bjork since 98 and finally she gives us our objective.

/Vespertine is an amazing album

she is actually quite beautiful and her music rocks

Um, subby...? Yeah, uh, protesting against ethnic cleansing during a song called "Declaration of Independence" is not a "random non-sequitur."

I like Bjork's stuff through Vespertine, not so sure about the newer stuff I've heard since then. I don't know if I'd want to go to the crazy concerts she puts on these days. Visually cool, but the music there is representative, I might pass.

That said, this is kinda cool. Obviously China would have a hard time doing anything to her, but it still takes guts to pull that. You never know what might happen...

/if she said "Chechnya" in Russia she'd probably get polonium'd

Bjork is hot as hell, I think, and she is an amazing musician.

Was that really "shouting"?

She chanted "Tibet, tibet" a couple times...

What about the part of your brain that said "I'm going to watch a video of an icelandic chick yelling random stuff." Maybe that's what owes you a minute and two beers.

Damnit, did I just bother to post on fark again? Someone owes me 30 seconds and half a package of starburst.

OK all you punters need to stop looking at that video so I can see it. Stop it! Right now!

 
Bhasayate [TotalFark] 2008-03-06 12:59:15 AM  
Just watched the vid. That's AWESOME. "Declare Independence" is a great song, and to say "Tibet, Tibet" at the end is very fitting.

Well, it's pretty much been established that Bjork is crazy out of the sack too. So the sack doesn't seem to matter.

Shes definately one of those chicks thats probably awesome in the sack, but you'd never want to hang out with her as shed drive you farking crazy in the daytime.

I had the opportunity to see Bjork perform this past summer when I was at V Fest Toronto. I went to the bar instead.

/no regrets

 
RobThomas PowerHour 2008-03-06 11:42:48 AM  
First of all, I would love to bjork the bjork out of Bjork because she gives me such a raging bjoner.
second, Vespertine is my favorite album evar.

But man, did that live performance look and sound like shiat. I could think of a million things better to do than see her live... one of them being typing a commentboard talking about how i wanna bjork her.

 
Bhasayate [TotalFark] 2008-03-06 11:55:44 AM  
For all of you guys that have a hard on for Bjork, watch her MTV unplugged video.

It's circa Post, I think. Anyway, she has a good set. And she's wearing this nylon/plastic like dress thing, and no shoes. And I swear she's not wearing anything else. You can't tell for sure, but she looks all aroused and such. Quite a turn on.

 
I_Love_Cheesecake 2008-03-06 12:08:19 PM  
Nice shout-out by Bjork for the genocide being conducted in Tibet by the Chinese government.

It's farking awful that the world turns a blind eye to it in favour of doing bu$ine$$ with Beijing.

Yeah... I'm pretty sick of Bjork and her silliness. She's so overrated. Music nerds eat her up. Her and Joanna Newsome. Ewww.

THANK YOU for that, awesome w/ the gamelan and tabla and WOW i think she's completely beautiful inside and out but i've never seen her look that hot.

ya know subby i just noticed, you said she shouted "tibet", did you even watch the vid you posted??

"She and Joanna Newsome."

 
CoachBlack 2008-03-08 12:22:33 AM  
This biatch is irrevelant and stupid. If you pay to see her perform you are getting ripped off. Instead pay $8.00(Milestone,Charlotte NC) to see Alabama Thunderpussy. Straight rock, no stupid biatches.

/She wishes she was Sinead.
//Also irrevalant and stupid.

 
Olympus Mons 2008-03-10 08:58:01 AM  
I can;t say I love her as much as I did once...but she is not cookie cutter for sure. And to be a more-or-less household name being so unconventional is a testiment of sorts.

Vespertine though was one of the most honest, human, brilliant CDs I have ever heard. Very risky and different. BTW Sigor Ros is another acquired taste but can be beautiful beyond the norm of what you are use to hearing. I'm very glad for a few of Bjorks CDs

Would have loved seeing how the chinese would have taken her....

 
assegai 2008-03-10 04:36:03 PM  
i have been asked by many for a statement after dedicating my song "declare independence" to both kosovo and tibet ( amongst others ) on different occasions.

i would like to put importance on that i am not a politician, i am first and last a musician and as such i feel my duty to try to express the whole range of human emotions. the urge for declaring independence is just one of them but an important one that we all feel at some times in our lives. this song was written more with the personal in mind but the fact that it has translated to its broadest meaning, the struggle of a suppressed nation, gives me much pleasure .
i would like to wish all individuals and nations good luck in their battle for independence.

justice !


warmth , björk.
