Post by: High On Lullabies on March 18, 2003, 05:42:17 pm: I've been wondering what that 'off the chain' meant for ages. I never wanted to ask cos I thought I'd seem really dumb. People making whole threads of people who are 'off the chain'. I thought it meant they were crazy or something!
Title: I LOVE
Post by: CaliGirl20 on March 18, 2003, 10:21:05 pm: Bjork! She's sooo awesome!! I've got a nice size poster of her on a wall in a shiny silver hammered frame.

Post by: David Hart on April 13, 2003, 10:19:50 am: She's dating the artist who has the exhibit "The Cream Master Cycle" at the Guggenheim...It's a great exhibit that everyone should see if their in NYC.

You went to a Bjork show???? I'm so Jealous...what is it with Europeans and traveling...Americans don't travel like you guys! My best friend is German and she is always traveling...I'm so jealous of her...
Title: Bjork
Post by: rosieposy87 on April 13, 2003, 11:11:02 am: ooh no, i haven't gone to one of her concerts - i phrased that so wrong! When we went to Iceland on a school trip we visited the place where she had done a concert, nonetheless it was veeeeeeery cool! But also extremely windy, ah that trip was the best i have been on. hee hee

P.S i guess Americans don't travel cos your country is so big, England is so teeny. I would reccommend travelling though, i really would- its just the best experience. And although you can experience different weather conditions in america etc, its just not the same as experiencing a totally different culture

lol you really don't have to be brilliant, with some of the stuff I heard...

"hey lets get a chick that can't sing, let her say random words, put some strange music behind it, its a guarantee number 1!" is what someone told the record company i bet.

Post by: CaliGirl20 on April 20, 2003, 05:00:31 pm: Bjork at Keyspan Park August 22 & 23

Title: Bjork
Post by: David Hart on April 20, 2003, 05:04:32 pm: I'm so going!!! Are you going Katy? We could go together!
Title: Bjork
Post by: CaliGirl20 on April 20, 2003, 05:07:14 pm: I wish I could David. But I'm sure I won't be in NY at the end of August. According to my schedule I'm going to be doing a lot of work then. Which totally totally sucks. Because it's like, WHEN IS Bjork EVER IN THE US?? Barely ever. So hopefully she'll come to LA next time around, and hopefully I'll be in LA if and when she does.
Title: Bjork
Post by: David Hart on April 20, 2003, 05:10:31 pm: oh no...That would have been so much fun to go together! We would have had such a great time! Yeah I haven't seen her in the US much, and it's weird that she's touring...I haven't heard too much about her recently, but I went to see the Matthew Barney exhibit at the Guggenheim (they are dating) and it was AMAZING!!! I couldn't believe it
Title: Bjork
Post by: CaliGirl20 on April 20, 2003, 05:12:11 pm: I'm going to whine....

It's not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol......Ok, I'm done. I just bought the DVD Volumen with a lot of her videos on it. I love it to death. They're all sooooooo creative.
Title: Bjork
Post by: David Hart on April 20, 2003, 05:15:15 pm: yeah she is brilliant...and beautiful! Is she actually touring, or is it just a random show that she is doing?
Title: Bjork
Post by: CaliGirl20 on April 20, 2003, 05:16:45 pm: She'll just be in New York for those two nights. So it's totally random.

Post by: eclv on December 11, 2003, 04:49:23 pm: Good god, did you hear about her stalker?

The crazy dude from Florida had a journal, and video journal or months or years. I think they said his obsession started in 93. He made a homemade bomb, put it in a book mailed it to her, came back home shaved his head and shot himelf in the head while her music was playing. Fucking whacko man. I guess they discovered his body 4 days later, found all all the evidence, and intercepted the bomb in time. She commented on it but I forgot what she said... something like she couldn't believe it or something, sorry. I will see if I can find an article link.

Okay, apparently this happened in 96. I just saw it on two different channels so I thought it was new. But anyhow he was still a fucking whacko!!
Title: Bjork
Post by: badsrx7 on December 11, 2003, 07:15:11 pm: Oh my.. that is crazy!
Title: Bjork
Post by: Lucy-san on December 12, 2003, 05:55:49 pm: yeah I heard about that lol...kinda scary...I can find out what she said!
Title: Bjork
Post by: Lucy-san on December 12, 2003, 06:01:29 pm: "The bomb incident changed my life definitely. But not in the way that people probably think. Because the biggest test has been to my relationships with my friends and my family.

I've got a brilliant job - I can wake up in the morning with a song in my head and before I go back to bed it's on vinyl and I can get almost any person I could dream of to play that song with me. And it's literally a dream come true. And I'm ready to take the down side of that, which is being hassled and people thinking I'm things I'm not.

But what's difficult is that it affects my friends and my family. And that's kind of where I draw the line. The bomb incident, for example, my only son's life was in danger because I happen to sing through a microphone sometimes. And that's scary. I can take it myself and the effect it has on my life but the fact that my granny gets calls to make waffles for the Daily Mirror; and all my friends are asked if I'm going out with so-and-so. It's been a test and I've never appreciated my friends more than I do now"

Apparently, notes MTV, the guy objected to her mixed-race relationship...

"I didn't take that so seriously. The guy was called Lopez, which is Latin, and he doesn't want a Icelandic person to go out with a guy who's half-Scottish and half-Jamaican? I'm sorry, that is definitely not the root of the problem. I just think it's very, very sad. The guy obviously suffered but I have to say that I'm emotionally healthy enough not to take it personally. But still it affects me and I cried and I couldn't sleep for nights, just thinking of his face. It's really, really sad."
Title: Bjork
Post by: Lucy-san on December 12, 2003, 06:02:57 pm: "When he decided to...leave, he filmed himself with my music in the background. Four days later he started to, you know, smell and his neighbours called the cops."

Bjork was on a plane flying back to London from Miami when he sent the package, and had to phone Sindri explaining why he couldn't open any mail. She tells of another obsessive fan who harassed her, but he ended up "leaving" too.

Bjork says she "cried her heart out" when she found out, but insists all she does is make music and these men obviously had huge problems and were wrong to try to bring her into them.

"What I do is make music. It's all about love to me. If I start looking at what I am doing too closely, I will lose the kick I get out of doing it. Then I may as well go back to Iceland and work in the fish market. "
Title: Bjork
Post by: Lucy-san on December 12, 2003, 06:03:16 pm: "It happened right before I started the record and - apart from the drama around it - it felt like it was symbolic for what was happening in my own life, professionally as well as emotionally. I was obsessed as well. By something completely different, mind you, especially by new and exciting challenges, but still. I suddenly realized how something like that could escalate. So, yeah, I've learned a great deal from that incident. It was as if, all of a sudden, I was back into reality and, during my continuous search for kicks, had been acting so fake for four years. A humbling experience. It made me feel quite down for a while."
Title: Bjork
Post by: Lucy-san on December 12, 2003, 06:03:56 pm: "It was really, really scary. At that time I'd been traveling for four years and I was actually in Florida when he shot himself. Just three blocks away from him and he didn't know. It was a night where it was thundering and lightning. So he sends the bomb to England and I fly over to London while the bomb is on its way. I'm coming home and it really fucked up my whole life and the idea of what my home is. Forty media people were hanging outside my house with a lens on my toilet seat. I didn't feel very welcome at my own home. Of course, I cried for the man and I was very upset over his death. I couldn't sleep ...for him. But for me it destroyed my home. I had to rediscover everything. Me and my son, Sindri, talked a lot about it. Now home is when we meet, wherever we are. Home is where the heart is. "
Title: Bjork
Post by: Lucy-san on December 12, 2003, 06:04:37 pm: "Overall, my fans are quite sweet people," says Björk with a weak smile. "Whatever that means, sweet. But last year was terrible. The boy died. And all these things happened in the space of five days. Looking back, it was completely mental."
Title: Bjork
Post by: Lucy-san on December 12, 2003, 06:05:12 pm: "Things were happening all around me, and I realised that I'd come to the end of the extrovert thing. I had to go home and search for myself again. My job is essentially about generosity and when I went to London, I had a lot to give, and it turned out I had given it all. If I'd tried to give any more, it would have become bad energy. So I left at just the right time. I'm not saying that I was responsible for the letter bomb, or that I saw it coming, but it didn't surprise me either, because something definitely wasn't right. I am much much happier now."

Songs such as Oceania, Where Is The Line, Desired Constellation, Triumph Of The Heart, Who Is It and Pleasure Is All Mine are massive stand out tracks! I think Bjork's voice is just so unique and unlike anything I have ever heard, which makes her wonderful!

Title: Bjork

Post by: itsthefiveofus on March 26, 2007, 07:29:25 am: I checked her out..strange music.. but cool. But its not someting I would listen to just to listen to it. I Like the music but I dont...Its weird ok.
Title: Bajonka Love
Post by: liquidblue244 on March 26, 2007, 07:04:24 pm: It's not "weird", it's Bjork, I believe her music trully defines who she is, because you'll never get annything that sounds just like it, totally unique...That's what's so great about her, she is BJORK, and that's you get, in her style, her art, and especially her MUSIC.

Agreed. I used to think she was weird. The awesome thing with her is that each of her albums have a TOTALLY different sound and I love almost all of them ("Post" not as much, but whatev). My favorite is "Homogenic" because I love strings and I'm pulling out for "Volta". She's one of the few singers out there who truly is an artist. I don't know if I would even put V in that artist category, no offense to you Holics. We'll see with this new album.

Post by: Jophess on May 08, 2007, 12:34:55 pm: Bought the album today and it's (of course) amazing. Bjork is un-friggin-real.

My favorite tracks would have to be: Earth Intruders, Dull Flame of Desire, I See Who You Are, and Hope (upon two or three listens).
