Bjork, what the deuce? (http://exclaim.ca/News/bjork_details_ambitious_biophilia_project_announces_three-year_tour_documentary?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+NewsExclaimca+%28!+Exclaim.ca+-+News+%29)
Not content to just put out an album and tour, she's going completely batshit insane. iPad apps, academic essays, lengthy performance installations, video, music, and everything else you can jam into an internet. The article does a great job of explaining everything, and there's a hell of a lot to explain.
Don't get me wrong, I look forward to getting my hands on some of this, but the sheer scope of it all is just purely beyond insane. Your thoughts?
I hope Lady Gaga is feeling really inadequate right now.
:lol: @ tim
That 8 city 3 year tour part sounds grueling.
???
WOW. I'm pretty excited about it. I love this new trend toward really involved musical experiences, and this, well, this takes the cake and runs away to Iceland with it. Possibly space. Leave it to Bjork to embark on something SO wild and SO intense. I'd been seeing murmurings of the project in various corners of the tubes, but none of it could have come close to suggesting THIS.
Just wow.
ETA: I really hope one of those 8 cities is within reasonable travel distance. I have my doubts, but here's hoping anyway!
The songs come with their own academic essays?!? I think that's one of the most pretentious things I've ever heard.
That being said, "Crystalline" reminds me very heavily of the Homogenic era, which is always a good thing.
If I get to see her, I want her to play Hyperballad...
But the whole Idea seams a bit much... I mean, it could be really cool. Or pretty shitty...
the new song sounds great, and im looking forward to what this could possibly offer fans.
Omg I <3 bjork and all her craziness ^-^
downloading it right now!
i think i need more time with it. the first listen didn't do too much for me.
2 listens in and I like it a lot. Reminds me of medulla without the throat singing
Omg mutual core ^-^
I need to give it a good, solitary listen with no distractions- which won't happen for me until the weekend.
i ;liked it really enjoyed the variations n genres. njotrk can do no wrong. i'm drunk now thonso take it as you wuill.
yes, i know it looks like a trainwreck of a post, but we're all better people because of it.
