Following Bjork's perfomance in Shanghai earlier this year, in which the singer led the crowd to chant "Tibet! Tibet!" after performing "Declare Independence", China has cracked down on overseas performers who stand to "threaten national unity", "whip up ethnic hatred", "violate religious policy or cultural norms" or "advocate obscenity or feudalism and superstition." All performances must be approved before-hand, right down to the set-lists. This ban comes just in time f... MORE

Hey guys,I am new to the whole 'Mog' thing so thats why my page isn't that good at the moment. Basically i am eclectic so i listen to everything. The only thing i am not that into is screamo music, but if forced i will listen to it =)One of my favorite artists is Cher, which is quite weird for a 15 year old, i know. I was lucky enough to go and see her live on her farewell tour. I haven't been to many concerts because a lot of the bands i have wanted to see live are 18+ co... MORE
Bjork has always been outspoken about her beliefs and her most recent album directly expresses her political opinions. Throughout her world tour, she has performed "Declare Independence" from Volta and used it as an opportunity to show her solidarity for oppressed people around the globe. However, she recently chose to support oppressed communities while performing in the territory of the oppressors. Two such instances are making headlines today, one with severe consequ... MORE
Bjork is cooking up some special treats in her electronic kitchen! I mentioned awhile back that there were remixes in the works for "Declare Independence" including one by Matthew Herbert and one by Ghostigital. Well, Bjork has baked up a super Special Limited Edition Pack that is available in her own shop now, but not available anywhere else. The Pack comes with 1 record, 1 CD and 1 DVD all together! Check it out, in the words of the lovely lady herself:
We are gettin... MORE
Bjork covers Lennon & McCartney. (yeah, right, Lennon had nothing to do with it, really). She stays pretty faithfull to the original, rendering a pixie-ish McCartney imitation. WARNING! RANDOM THOUGHTS!
>>>>1) Blueberry picking is a relaxing way to spend a day. Picking them from a canoe? Priceless. >>>>2) I think Brian Wilson's "Smile" is the most over-produced, over-hyped piece of crap I've ever heard. I know, I know, work of a genius and all that, I thin... MORE
Bjork's website has the deets today about all kinds of ways anyone can enjoy her new 3D video for "Wanderlust" without resorting to the flat version. Apparently there are 6 different techniques ranging from making your own pair of 3D glasses to finding stores with kiosks that show the 3D video and give away free pairs of glasses for viewing. But it's the 6th option which is especially delicious! Bjork announces a brand new "Wanderlust Special Collectors Package" that fe... MORE

Modeselektor work their magic on this great Björk track that features Antony Hegarty and Lightning Bolt's Brian Chippendale. I especially enjoy the bridge and what Modeselektor does with Björk's and Antony's vox.
