This is exactly the problem with way forum works. People only check the POTD, but when nobody posts to a thread and you close your visit, thread vanishes when next you visit. So you have to bump a thread continually to get attention.
True, maybe this issue will be solved with the next 4um release.
I don't see how it could be solved. The POTD is a feature (and an awesome one), not a bug, and it's only supposed to highlight new replies. Bumping a thread continually to get attention, now that's a bug and not a feature.

everyone simply has to answer the survey to keep this thread alive.
not 100% sure, but as the moderator of this forum is very keen on receiving answers to this thread, I assume, that this info will be used for the Björk retrospective at the MoMA New York...
haha
you're cleverer than i thought

but you're not 100% right
alas, i cannot say more...

I think that one thing that would help in the new 4um is a "general" section. Sometimes I have to look for threads in the news and :album11: sections for a lot of time before I'll find what I'm looking for. There just isn't a place for general purpose threads about :logo: .

thanks for sharing further info re. this survey... in times of mr. Snowden and the NSA it was good to slightly abandon the "can't tell you more"-secrecy-policy... :mrgreen:
maybe the subject title of this thread could be adapted or what about a pm to all 4umers with an invitation to participate?

Uh, that´s interesting and superexciting! :mrgreen:

I add the fact that I use a Björk Mii with blue dress&blue make up as a tribute to her in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8 fun room tournaments and online mode. A 2011 tribute to her blue :album11: dress and I still love that Mii. :mrgreen: Of course it´s called ÆM☆ßJÖRK :naughty: :love:

Various! Only a few examples from :album2: & :album4: :

And when it lands
Will my eyes be closed or open?

Uncertainty excites me, baby
Who knows what’s going to happen ?
Lottery or car crash - or you’ll join a cult

All these accidents that happen
Follow the dot
Coincidence makes sense
Only with you

While you are away
My heart comes undone
Slowly unravels
In a ball of yarn
The devil collects it
With a grin
Our love
In a ball of yarn

I’m no f**cking Buddhist
But this is enlightenment

I thought I could organise freedom
How Scandinavian of me

Leave me now - return tonight
Tide will show you the way
If you forget my name
You will go astray
Like a killer whale trapped in a bay

Etc.

(official / promotional)

Also various (she's so beautiful):

Etc.

photo shoot: Craig McDean - Another Magazine, 2003

An Echo A Stain, Harm Of Will and especially Heirloom - good songs but Generous Palmstroke should have replaced Heirloom on Vespertine (just my opinion though...) 8)

^^ I don't think Generous Palmstroke should have replaced any of the songs but it should have been included. Vespertine is a 10 as is. With GP it would have been a 10+. JMO.

GP shares more musical DNA with :album8: than with :album6: imo. According to the theory that one song from each album highlights the direction for the next one (obvious examples are :aifol: -> :album6:, TOAH -> :album10: and even MJ -> :album11:), then GP is definitely part of :album8:'s foundation...

Playing with the idea of clogging POTD with posts that end with me as last contributor. So far it's working.
I feel like you're hanging on to the idea that people aren't seeing your posts and that's why you're not getting the feedback you want/you think you deserve.
More often than not, they go on off topic tangents and that's why people don't really give them a lot of attention (imo).
Why don't you just try to make your own thread in Off Topic, about things that you feel you need to educate people about? As its own contained thing that's not spread out all over the place, I'd certainly be more inclined to contribute and engage. Maybe others feel the same way...
It doesn't even have to be just one... it could one be an Off Topic one and then an On Topic one about things that :logo: is into that you also find interesting and important. That way, you'd only need to bump two threads, not a lot of topics that may be less relevant, just so that people see one post in them.

i really don't get what you point is ... You can clog the first page all you want, I still can see all posts that happened since my last connection . You just made it longer to read , but I never miss anything on the 4um ... I'm really confused about what you're doing

For one brief moment I seemed like the only one on the forum with 10 threads ended with my contribution. That so seldom happens it was amusing and disconcerting all at once. Plus it repeats what Moderator and I were saying about bumping worthy threads.
oooh i thought you did it on purpose to prove some kind of point, childishly... Sorry :shifty:
but i don't see what conclusion you can draw out of it... and i don't remember moderator agreeing on something about this topic? Bumping threads is useless.. you can pin them, if you really don't want them to be lost, but most of the time, worthy threads are fueled by content anyway..

YOUR FAVORITE

album: :album2: Post
(based on the songs)
Why? Debut was classified as some kind of undefinable music back then.

When Post was announced, I couldn't imagine there would be another album changing my acoustic perception as much as Debut had done to me.

Craig McLean's article in The Face Magazine described several songs (Isobel as "Broadway on breakbeats" and It's Oh So Quiet as "A Blast"). Because of that I was impatiently looking forward to listening to the album. When I finally listened to Post for the first time, I was so disappointed. Isobel. Breakbeats??? I couldn't hear any breakbeats. It's Oh So Quiet a blast??? It was only horrible.

BUT Post was like the point of no return. Once I got into it, a life without Björk's music was not possible anymore...and she still opens new musical chapters for me.

album: :album2: Post
(based on cover + artwork)
I adored MeCompany. I loved the Björk logo and the photo shoot included in the booklet.

live cd: :album10: Voltaïc (Live at the Olympic Studios)
(based on the songs)

live cd: :album10: Voltaïc
(based on cover + artwork)

live dvd: :album10: Voltaïc
(based on songs)

live video: :album1: Vessel (video cassette, not the dvd)
(based on cover + artwork)

Created by MeCompany. They did an excellent job.
tour: :album11: Biophilia Tour
(overall)
Because of the tesla coil, the pendulum harps, the sharpsichord, the hang, the choir. I didn't like the wigs but got used to them. Then the center stage, she was so close and in the middle of everything. One more reason I enjoyed it so much was the return of Björk's crystal clear voice after surgery.

tour: :album10: Volta Tour
(based on setlist)
She had so much power. Hyperballad made the audience go crazy every time!

tour makeup / outfit: :album11: Biophilia Tour.
There were quite a few surprises to offer. The sea urchin masks for example.

live performance: Pluto (Biophilia tour)
(song)
Pluto has always been one of my favourite (live) songs.
Pluto with the tesla coil was just so perfect.


live performance: :album6: Vespertine (Sainte Chapelle, Paris, August 25th 2001)
(concert)

live performance: Big Time Sensuality, with Fluke (MTV Europe Music Awards 1994)
(tv appearance)

single: Isobel
(song)

single: Wanderlust
(video)

single: Big Time Sensuality
(remixes + bsides)

single: Bachelorette
(cover + artwork)

song: Hidden Place
(studio version)

song: Army Of Me (Voltaïc)
(live version)

remix album: :album3: Telegram
(based on songs)

remix album: :album3: Telegram
(cover + artwork)

remixed song: Human Behaviour (The Underworld Remix)
The Human Behaviour remixes were like an entrance ticket to the world of remixes for me. Some 4um members know that I'm fond of remixes, don't they?

b-side: I Go Humble
(released)

b-side: Trance
(unreleased)

cover version: It's Oh So Quiet
(by björk)

lyric: All my body parts are one as lightning hits my spine.
(phrase)

photo shoot: Jürgen Teller 1993

Cover Version

It's Oh So Quiet
by Björk

Mat Weddle - Who Is It
of a Björk song

Lyrics

his wicked
sense of humor
suggests
exciting sex!


I don't know my future after this weekend
and I don't want to


every morning I walk towards the edge
and throw little things off
like: car-parts, bottles and cutlery
or whatever I find lying around


how could I be so immature
to think he would replace
the missing elements in me
how extremely lazy of me


through the warmthest cord of care
your love was sent to me


every boy is a snake is a lily
every pearl is a lynx is a girl


untouchable
innocence
it's still here
but in different places


your generosity will show
in the volume of her glow


... to name a few

Anyway, I didn't mean to make it such a long reply, that's why I didn't elaborate on my choices, because every one has a story haha.
That's the best part of this thread for me. Reading all the random anedoctes you all have is really interesting and in some way heartwarming. :hyper: <3
