Björk - Utopia (9th Album)

[shadedeflector]

None of us used those words except for you tho.

"Earth Intruders" and "Stonemilker" were what I would like to hear from her. Explore pop music and take it where it never went before. Instead of exploring your ass with your head. So yeah, what @strangekin said.

I love that she would blast shit like Beyonce and co. when she would dj for years while she was doing avant-garde albums.

 

[Psycho]

Ok but those would be flawless lyrics @Björk

The bridge would be a Vogue-style rap about avant-garde 20th century composers, of course.

Penderecki and Messiaen,
Arvo Pärt, Stockhausen,
Steve Reich, Ben Jonhston
all day on Deutsche Grammophon
Berio, Nono, Gorecki
Gubaidulina and Ligeti
Ben Britten, Philip Glass
John Cage will come whoop your ass
They had style, they had poise
Let Xenakis give you good noise
Varèse, Partch and Mahler too
Lutosławski, we love you
White men with an attitude
Modernists that were in the mood
Please just stand there, we don't care
If serious music is your nightmare

HOLY FUCK this must be voted as THE PJ POST of the Century.

I've never gotten the love for that album. It puts me to sleep and not in a good way. It was the beginning of pretentious Matthew Barney all-about-nature Bjork. The albums subsequently had "moments" but nothing matched the brilliance of her first three. I enjoyed "Vulnicura" if nothing more than its Matthew Barney send-off and finally no more Mark Bell, may he RIP. Happy to hear strings again.

Poor Homogenic.

What a bjöp!

Poor Homogenic.

Homogenic is album #3.

 

[Deleted member 12509]

I'm curious what a day in the life of @Psycho is like. Where does he go? What does he do? What does he eat? Where does he find the time and resources to constantly educate himself and to consume all this underground film / music / literature / art he so easily references? Does he talk to normal people who don't have murderously leftfield / avant-garde interests? Like you and me. What would he think of me if he saw me coming out of the gym, living my mainstream life in shorts, Nike leggings and baseball cap? Would I be invisible to him? Would he spit on me?

This is zero shade. I'm in awe. And I wonder.

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning

That's better


Or she could do A House cover

I hope you recognize Stockhousen from his beef with Aphex Twin

"I think it would be very helpful if he listens to my work Song Of The Youth, which is electronic music, and a young boy’s voice singing with himself. Because he would then immediately stop with all these post-African repetitions, and he would look for changing tempi and changing rhythms, and he would not allow to repeat any rhythm if it were varied to some extent and if it did not have a direction in its sequence of variations." Stockhousen

"I thought he should listen to a couple of tracks of mine: "Didgeridoo", then
he'd stop making abstract, random patterns you can't dance to" Aphex Twin

I love how everyone at Bjork.com voted for MILF Bjork as the theme for her new album.

 

[JacobTheMiro]

Bjork has almost killed me like twice with Innocence.

I almost crashed my car once because I was listening to a low volume recording of Roisin performing a song live and then shuffle put Innocence on. That first note on max volume.... Then last year I was bopping so hard to Innocence I threw my neck out.

That said my favorite Bjork album is Medulla. I have fond memories of singing Where Is The Line? to my extremely hot high school history teacher and him being utterly confused.

Is this an exclusive extract from your next book?

Not when this exists.

This is the worst post I've ever read in this forum.
