She's talented, fine. Agreed. But, fuck...whats the deal? I personally find her music to be quite random and unpleasant.

In fact, she's started to piss me off a bit. Vespertine was a bit cack, and she was disappointing the last time I saw her in concert. I want her to make music that's for loudspeakers, not headphones, but from what I've heard of the next LP she's going the other way. Ah well.
PS Hardcore Tori fans are infinitely more crackers.

I saw that footage of her smacking shit out of that journo that was pestering her, and she immediately shot up in my estimation.
A few years later, when Princess Di had her crash, I found myself wondering whether she'd still be alive if, very early in her public life, she had done what Bjork did...

Oh dear, that'd be me. Tori fans kick ass in the rabid obsessive stakes vs Bjork fans, though.
Wasn't Peaches booed when she opened for Bjork once as well? That's quite strange, any gig with a combination of Bjork, Will Oldham and Peaches would be nigh-on perfect for me.

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Icelandic singer Bjork, who famously dressed up as a swan at the 2001 Academy Awards, has been voted the world's most eccentric celebrity in a recent British magazine poll.
The 40-year-old, who also had a run-in with a reporter in Bangkok 10 years ago, beat out former world boxing champion Chris Eubank and goalkeeper-turned-commentator David Icke, who came second and third respectively.
Bernie Herlihy, editor of the BBC's "Homes and Antiques" magazine which held the poll, said readers had crowned Bjork the most bizarre star thanks to "her quirky dress sense and very individual type of music.
"She's known by the public for pretty crazy things like having an altercation with a journalist," she added.
Former "Doctor Who" actor Tom Baker was ranked fourth while the reality television star and former rocker Ozzy Osbourne came fifth. Nearly 6,000 people voted in the poll.
"I thought someone like David Icke might (come) top actually," Herlihy said of the man who proclaimed himself the "son of God" during a television interview in 1991.
The top 10 also includes John McCririck, Patrick Moore, Vivienne Westwood, Jimmy Savile and Uri Geller.

Inside an article on Iceland by Michael Lewis, this:
Because Iceland is really just one big family, it’s simply annoying to go around asking Icelanders if they’ve met Björk. Of course they’ve met Björk; who hasn’t met Björk? Who, for that matter, didn’t know Björk when she was two? “Yes, I know Björk,” a professor of finance at the University of Iceland says in reply to my question, in a weary tone. “She can’t sing, and I know her mother from childhood, and they were both crazy. That she is so well known outside of Iceland tells me more about the world than it does about Björk.”
This matches with the experience I had when I was at UCLA -- took a class in Norse sagas from an American professor there who regularly went to Iceland for research, this was in 1990 or so. I said to him at one point, "There's this band I like from Iceland called the Sugarcubes," to which he responded, "Oh yeah, I know them all. Great folks."

Wow! I love that! I don't know if that's just how bjork acts or that just how icelanders roll but a great deal of her magnetism is how strange and unique her personality is, and it's not a fabricated quirkyness like most popstars, she's naturally interesting.
I have the sickness.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 25 August 2016 19:57 (seven years ago) link
Yeah I mean I think on balance I like Bjork and her oeuvre and her persona, it's just that Brand Bjork has started to get a little overbloated with all these pompous art retrospectives and whatnot.

was a big fan up through Vespertine but man I cannot stand how she sings now. the over enunciation, the same breathy loudwhisper on almost every song. just strikes me as super pretentious and not fun.
