Bjork, what the deuce?

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.

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...

I need to give it a good, solitary listen with no distractions- which won't happen for me until the weekend.
