Stat zee skit, have a deaf recommendation (seeing as you mentioned 'Karakany' in 2008 int.) Paal Nilsen-Love - http://boomkat.com/vinyl/1230837-paal-ni...rean-gongs

yes, I listened to that

For the most part, he sounds like a late night drunk impatiently rummaging through a recycling bin for a lost key.

#373 shortlist...)

Björk - Vulnicura (One Little Indian)
http://www.juno.co.uk/products/bjork-vul...561307-01/



it'll probably be the Björk – "probably" because I bought it last week and haven't got round to listening to it yet

I just purchased this from http://www.emusic.com and will listen on the way to the gym.

Surprisingly for all the stuff I like/love from Bjork, I only have 2 paid LPs - 2008's 'Volta' (when I first became aware of her) and this one. Then I listened to her first album on YouTube, and of course I've heard the "it's oh so quiet" track, and "All Is Full Of Love" et al.

Where did you start listening to Bjork Stattoil?

argh edit my typo please and then delete this one

argh edit my typo please and then delete this one

what typo?

well, anyway...

Where did you start listening to Bjork Stattoil?

a long time ago

I have all her LPs

5 tracks from "Vulnicura" (1-4, 9) made it onto my Mp3 player disk, the rest will be listened to later. First impressions:

@bjork 's "Vulnicura" is like her careerist mantle, burning from the outside in - that is to say, high voltage and very interesting. #Bjork

An open letter to The Wire

Quite an intoxicating read to match the emotionality of Bjork's musical and amusical persona. I highly recommend reading it
(P55, The Wire 373, Frances Morgan), in capsule article format.

The LP is one of the most affecting collections of sounds I have heard since Bat For Lashes - The Haunted Man. It has a
similar emotional levity and breadth of style and artistic vision that really speaks to me. There is also a matched duality
between these aforementioned albums since both feature collaborators, but as Morgan notes in the review of "Vulnicura", the
ninth Bjork long-player, "there is no question who is the auteur here".

That's a sorely lacking quality in most songwriting music of the last decade - besides pop breakthroughs who use the crux
functionality of their format's context (Lady Gaga - pop expose, Sleater-Kinney - riot grrl gung-ho angst-dynamo, et al) the
Bjork vinyl stands out as an artefact of emotive purity that doesn't subscribe to triteness of indie lattices. Even as the
indie and indie subgenre-of-choice-at-that-moment juncture polarises clarity on the matters showcased, this
can indeed be seen as cross-threaded by LPs from the former musicians, who fundamentally to the point of this letter, take
their hearts and lay them bare. And that's something I can fully endorse, even if I don't become a donor myself.

Interesting to hear Touch Music are putting out a mixed media series focusing on books. More in the Roscoe Mitchell copy.

Also in that ussue: Robert Haigh (Omni Trio) in The Boomeramg, page 63. Definitely gonna listen to that one.

And I really have been enjoying the St.Vincent St on Spotify. Gonna get the CD.

Robert Haig Coxon has made it into my Spotify listening habits. Really good stuff.

Next is the Jo Johnson LP that oi jus red revoo of.
