Bjork is an avant-guard singer from Reykjavik Iceland. With punk rock roots and a career of varied collaborations that ranged from jazz to rock, Bjork showed up on US radar in the late 80s as part of the Sugarcubes after the band appeared on SNL.
A bit of a Maverick, she came out with the early 90s album entitled Debut on her equally renegade UK record label, One Little Indian. That album has put the tiny company on the big map.
In 2000, Bjork appeared as Selma in director Lars von Trier's film Dancer in the Dark for which she wrote many of the soundtrack songs.
Bjork tours the US from mid-April 2007 and her recent tracks can usually be heard at her official myspace site, www.myspace.com/bjork. If ou have news or want news on Bjork, if you want to report a Bjork sighting or want to discuss her work with other Bjork fans, join this portal.
The best films of Lars von Trier, a sadistic Danish jester, face up to their flaws and nastiness and hyper-self-consciousness unblinkingly. Their unashamedness becomes their virtue; and von Trier can be called one of the most interesting directors of his time because even if he's an asshole (and the evidence suggests this is so) he doesn't try to hide the fact. In an artist, dishonesty is a greater sin than villainy, and von Trier takes his adventures and experiments to their logical extreme, rarely trying to hide what he's doing. Sometimes this results in a work of gripping sincerity: Breaking the Waves has been ...

This year's Austin City Limits Festival lineup may dissapoint some longtime atendees, due to the high percentage of repeat performers, but for folks like me who have never been, it's a perfect year to go. And it's cheaper than any of the other big name festivals of a similar ilk and has a killer lineup. I'd just like to say that I am proud of myself for not including Yo La Tengo in the title of this post. YLT are performing at ACL Festival, but apparently not everyone else thinks of them as the most important band in the world like I do, evidenced ...

This is the video for Dull Flame of Desire ; I really love that song. The video, starring Bjork and Antony Hegarty, is a bit too quaint for my taste. But then again, Bjork is anything but pedestrian. The woman has her own unique style and flair. The single is scheduled to drop on October 22nd. My favorite video by Björk is definitely Wanderlust. That mofo is really fantastically beautiful. Check it out after Dull Flame of Desire Wanderlust

MONDAY: Singer-songwriter Lenka has said her music is a mixture of the Beatles, Burt Bacharach and Bjork. Like the first two she shares a good ear for bouncy melodies, but Lenka and Bjork are alike only in that they both evoke pixies. But the Australian singer has a voice as cute as her face (that is, very), and her sweet 2008 debut, "Lenka," spawned the ultra-catchy pop song "The Show," which Old Navy used in a major campaign.
