I'll never use aluminum foil again after watching the film "Nattura" featuring Bjork, Sigur Ros and other famous icelandic artists. The musicians used their international clout to bring awareness to the environmental devastation happening to their green isle by holding a concert and making this documentary.The film starts with aerial views of the stunning and complicated natural features of ic...
As much as I enjoy listening to her music, watching her videos, and attending her concerts, I'm of the opinion that Icelandic techno-sprite Björk is certifiably nuts. Brilliant, but loony.I might feel this way because of her bizarre whisper-to-a-shriek vocal delivery; or her strange repertoire choices, such as her almost straight-from-the-shoulder cover of the vintage big-band number "It's Oh S..
What I would give to be five and play dress-up in Bjork's closet. The "Where It All Began" The "Not Another Poor Little Bird!" The "Mandarin" The "Genghis" The "Monarch" The "Horton Hears A Who" The "Olympic" The "My Crayolas Just Attacked" The "This Is Me On A Mellow Dress Day" The "Silly String" The "Little Red" The "Wanna Be Startin' Something"

How is your skeleton? Scorch and flirp? Reindeer uprising of 2012? The costume! Here's a little laugh amongst all the Grammy write-ups. Kristen Wiig's impersonation alone deserves an award.Careful Wiig, Bjork's been known to bite when she's not home brushing the tails of her my little pony collection.
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 opp...
Music fans, politicians, officers of the law and freedom fighters are divided this week over issues raised by a Bjork concert in Shanghai last weekend. As I reported earlier this week, Bjork ended her concert in China with "Declare Independence" off her latest album, then chanted, "Tibet! Tibet!" Since then, there has been heavy news coverage, negative comments from fans and statements from b...

Today (October 27th, 2008) Bjork released the one-off single "Naturra" (see a pattern here?) digitally everywhere. The song is quite angry, despite backing vocals from soft-spoken Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke, and, according to the Nattur...
