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 both Bjork and the British organization, The Free Tibet Campaign. While The... 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'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.

Yesterday, I posted about public reaction to Bjork's support of Tibet and Kosovo at recent concerts. Sometime shortly after, she made a statement on her website about the issue. The story received high-profile coverage yesterday, notably from BBC news (where I learned of it), and Bjork must have been contacted by numerous organizations for a statement. Here is what she replied: i have been asked by many for a statement after dedicating my song "declare independen... MORE

This super cool video interviews Michel Gondry and goes behind the scenes at the extreme film shoot of Bjork's "Declare Independence." This is the 7th music video that Gondry has directed for Bjork, and they really went all out - they even suspended Mark Bell in the air with an epic bass guitar that looks like it's strung with giant rubber bands! Check it:
I can't wait to see the finished product! Spinner says they will be premiering it on December 6.
