Bjork Weekend - 1997 Documentary

Happy Birthday, Bjork - 50 today!!

I first heard of Bjork back in 1992 when she was with The Sugarcubes, specifically Birthday, Hit and Cold Sweat. I revisited her stuff in 1995 and her music spoke to me, somehow.  Specifically in 1997 when Homogenic came out, I produced a lot of art work and made a lot of things whilst P2 was in nursery.  In 2003, I saw her at the Hammersmith Apollo and as tiny as she was, she was incredible, live.

I haven't kept up with a lot of her stuff, but I do listen to some of her newer music now, finding fresh joy in what I hear.  This documentry from 1997 especially inspired me.

Happy Birthday, Bjork - and many more of 'em xxx

My ipod randomly played Björk on her birthday, I alway enjoy her output, it's difficult to be surprising, but she often is.

Today, I listened to an interview with Jefferson Hack (think it was'Wired' magazine) from 2013. She details how she had worked on apps for'Biophilia' and how she had structured music to correspond with tangible things. Fascinating.
