Paparazzi attack incidents aside (and tbh I feel paparazzi deserve being mistreated half of the time) I feel like Bjork is very sweet. She’s also bonkers so it can go both ways.

Has Kurt Cobain been mentioned? From what I’ve read he was a stellar dude.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 16 November 2017 22:03 (six years ago) link
surely giving us Courtney Love's career is some kind of crime
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 16 November 2017 22:05 (six years ago) link
Grunge inherited a lot of cock rock imbeciles and Kurt was never happy about it. There’s also anecdotes like this:

Makes it look like he was a class act.

Björk I totally believe. Cobain is another story all-together iirc.

AURORA seems like a kind soul (though her fans are a little over-the-top with their praise. I'm pretty sure she isn't an angel or an astral being or "too pure for this world")

is Devendra as much of a sleaze as I suspect he is?his background as a pick-up artist doesn't really count in his favor, but Joanna Newsom seems to be cool with him so idk

that really sucks for that guy, for sure, but i feel like i'd need to hear both sides of that story. i mean there could be any number of reasons why she decided not to go through with that project (from his telling i can't tell whether she cancelled at the last minute or literally stood him up without offering an explanation).

yeah that story up above isn't too bad, she did record an album with him anyways and plans fell through for further recording in 2003. Quasi released "Hot Shit!" that year and Slater-Kinney was touring with Pearl Jam. imo she kinda did have better things to do.

re upthread Bjork's very guarded about fans, but don't hold that against her. Imagine she's probably quite a good soul

Cosign Bjork.
Mastodon mostly come across as lovable dorks in interviews.

I think Bjork started being more private after a fan sent him a tape of him commiting suicide.
