The "they mentioned Björk!" thread

[Bijoruku]

Have you heard about Björk today?
__________________________________________

Today when I turned on the TV it was about Iceland. They said that 80 % of the people there thinks that they are good at singing. And then they said: "You won't find Björk here because the icelandic people doesn't like celebrities"

[poem_to_a_horse]

I watched this movie today called "Noi" which was filmed in Iceland.

[Karmacoma]

I was reading netradio woxy's Top 500 playlist and Björk was there many times. The list will be played on next week (tomorrow-Friday) and every day will be played 100 tracks. You can listen here.

Noi Albinoi is a beautiful, beautiful film.

I just want to tell you about a day my brother gratuated and our relatives were there:

(20 people sitting in a room chatting. Then my mom suddenly says to me: )

- Tell them who you are listening to

(everybody gets quiet, looking at me)
(i answer: )
- Björk

(everybody starts whispering and looking at eachother wondering)

- Björk? says my aunt Which Björk?

- Björk Gudmundsdottir!, (I say)

Now everybody looks like this:

- How old is she?

- 43 I think

- oh

It was a weird situation

[Karmacoma]

She's 40.

[Bijoruku]

She's 40.

That is right . And she is still getting better and better. I wonder how her party was?

[aermancer]

Yesterday I went bowling and played I Miss You (Sunshine Mix)

then i accidentally played the Lucy mix of Possibly Maybe and everyone in the alley practically shat themselves while the most fucked up song they had ever heard in their lives played.

[Bijoruku]

I have a soap now entitled Björktjära.... And tjära sounds like love in swedish... Washing with love from Björk?

[MaDSouL]

[Bijoruku]

Haha And I am allergic to Björk!

[seg]

i see björk's everyday outside my window

That makes no sense.

When people come over, my mom is always like "Karl's got some nice music. He's got... Björk." And it's weird cause she doesn't listen to Björk. The nice music I have to them is like, Feist and the Dears and Broken Social Scene. And then I listen to their nice music and it's just weird when she brings up Björk.

Umhum.

Yes, it was a weird situation. It is always like that when someone asks me which artist I am listening too...

When someone asks me what I listen to, I usually just give them a few names like Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil, Throwing Muses, Ultra Vivid Scene etc. -- the weirder the better. They just go away.

I watched this movie today called "Noi" which was filmed in Iceland.

Oooh very good movie!

[Aeroplane]

oh oh oh I watched a movie the other day that was set in Iceland...like 1950's Iceland....it was called something like...the call of the seagulls or seagull's cry or something....has anyone seen it? very good movie and the main actress so gorgeous and oh they were all so hot anyway...hahaha uhm uhm yes yes my björk experience for the day is super fun...ok so i'm living alone right now, (boo hoo poor me ) ok but that's a whole different sauce of a different taco, what brings me here is that, as we all know!!!! this weekeend is supposed to end the daylight saving time so we were supposed to set our clocks one hour back....huh only i didn't have any form of communication with a human being this whole weekend...(ok maybe a friend who called to go out on friday and then totally dissed me!!!! i'm still mad at him!!! arrrogh!!!! ) so I woke up this monday at 6:50 am (late as usual) and was running and hoping i'd make it to my 7:00 am class (to which i have to make a 11 minute run as I'm always late, but i already stated that, ugh, ) so i'm crossing one of the main avenues i have to cross only to find out there's not a single car on the street!!!!! what the eff!!!! (that's what i thought!) so by the time i got to the auditorium were classes are held i knew there was something smoky about the whole situation..(like, the whole place was deserted!!!!) i finally had a faint idea of what was going on...then .i remembered my sister saying something about the daylight saving time ending , this happened sometime around wednesday...but i didnt think she was talking about that same weekend!!!!! okay, so I got at 6:05 a.m. to my 7:00 am class. BIG DEAL! hahahaah ugh, i was so , finally, to end my frustration...i took my cd player out (i know, with your gizmos and whatdayacallit , so archaic of me) and started listening to a cd i burnt to a friend of mine (again, a whole different story) and then in track 8 Who Is It (Vitalic Remix) started playing and oh, the bliss...haha, my day turned back on track from there on....i wanted to dance right there...but the janitor would think i was a little coo coo...so i refrained. Anyway.. i danced, in my head...and sang and everything.... so...i hope it was a good story...whadayathink?!?!?!?

hugs to all

A few months ago in a local coffee shop they had written "How do I muster the perfect day?" and it was a promotion for reduced-price espresso.

[Bijoruku]

I searched for Bjork on youtube and this video was among the results: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR_OzfBeiSU Is it only me that gets IOSQ-vibes at 2:42?

edit: yeah it is really a IOSQ-video look-a-like The ending is almost the same and she wears an orange dress

[Bijoruku]

hm, apparently she was in a Coffee commercial here in Sweden

I was working with my friends about that Coffe company when we saw her in an image at this page http://www.kraftfoodsnordic.com/kraft/p ... 1&Mid=2511

Lmao. Cocteau Twins

If I'm trying to weird people out, I'll just say something like...Björk, and if they ask who she is, i just say "that lady who dresses like a swan and beats reporters up'. Maybe add Dead Can Dance, Enigma and Boney M into it.

Cum Bjork?

[Bijoruku]

Cum Bjork?

I just saw that too! But I was so stunned that I wasn't capable to post anything

[teh seg]

Bai ze wai, "Venus as a Boy" was used in a Polish TV station in a preview. I was talking to my father with the TV on, suddenly stopped, listened for a second and said: "Oh, it's Venus as a Boy!". And then I started singing. My parents think I am a Björk maniac .

[Valkyrio]

"Cum" = "with"

[stingo]

Cum = as

What book is this from? I think I remember hearing about it a long while ago?

[Bijoruku]

The James Herbert Book "Once..."

man, that is dire.

[Karmacoma]

She's 40.

That is right . And she is still getting better and better. I wonder how her party was?

Actually she is 41 or 42, she was born in 1965.

Actually her birthday is 21th November 1965, and those posts were made on last year's September.
Do the maths.

[Það Sést Ekki Sætari Mey]

Cum = as

Cum = the stuff in cakes

I've just came home from a show I am working as a "spotlight-handler" and suddenly at the end a girl stepped up to the piano and started to sing Björks "Can't help falling in love" It suprised me!

[Karmacoma]

I just read (watched) a book about cd covers and there was something about Me Company and Nick Knight. Homogenic is also on the cover of the book.

I have a soap now entitled Björktjära.... And tjära sounds like love in swedish... Washing with love from Björk?

Björktjära actually means birch tar.

Love = kärlek

I am in love = Jag är kär

We are in love = Vi är kära


I thought you were swedish Bijoruku, you should know better :p.

yes? I am not going to write that it sounds like "we are in love" because that would only confuse everybody

[teh seg]

Bijoruku has been lying to us all the time. I bet he is American and balding.

[Archimage8]

heheh..

In an issue of Playgirl I saw, there is a picture of two people in a video store (doing what you 4umers can only imagine), and in the background, there is a copy of Dancer in the Dark on the shelves.



maybe i'll scan it.....

[M/M ryan]

i just watched an episode of Scrubs last night and they were talking about this picture where Zac Braff's character looks like Bjork on a beach.
