Busy as Bjork. I’m going to start coining that phrase. Coz when she’s busy, nobody can out-busy her! Last week she finished filming the video for “Wanderlust” in NYC, played two shows in France, did an interview with Spinner and then was heading to the UK for some big music festivals. I thought that was the end of the road trip for her, but it turns out Bjork just doesn’t stop! Energizer batteries need to sign her up as their new mascot! So, while our heads were whirling with this information, Bjork was secretly recording a special Live Session album at Olympic Studios with her current live band. I hope it includes the reacTable synth - that thing is wiiiiiiicked!
She also did an interview with Q Magazine and now she’s been nominated for two categories in the 2007 MTV Europe music awards: Rock Out and Solo. The awards event takes place in Munich on 1 Novembre and you can cast your vote on the MTV Europe website.
The visual is a bit pixelated, but this is a great example of her live band at Electric Picnic last Friday:
From the Spinner interview:
Well, I’ve never been into the establishment and the hidden rules that come with that; you’re supposed to dress a certain way, sing a certain way, be a certain way, cook a certain way. I don’t believe in that. We’re all very different. I don’t think anybody fits. It’s not only me.
