Coachella: something of a logistical nightmare, with us being stuck in the horrendous 10E traffic for about... oh, five hours or so? Add on an extra hour trying to park, and the end result was, we missed out on all but 2 of Jesus and Mary Chain songs. But, one of those two was 'Just Like Honey' and...
Not much happened this weekend. We had a full weekend. Saturday was Sasquatch. It was both hot and then quite chilly, depending on the time of the day. The drive home was pretty tough because while I was wired a bit on caffeine, my body still would rather be sleeping. But we made it back in one...
Originally published at Synaptic Clog. You can comment here or there. Bjork - Volta Bjork could get away with murder. Seriously, half the time I think she derives her inspirations from the "Make Shit Up" school of artistic influence. The other half of the time, she surrounds herself with a capable...
I want to be able to say a lot more about this group but I just don't know enough about them. Back in 2005, I discovered them completely by mistake while I was searching for bands containing members from The Brakes (British Sea Power, The Electric Soft Parade and The Tenderfoot). Due to poor tagging...
Rating Countries for the Happiness Factor A study pulled together from sources and surveys found that good health care and education are as important as wealth to modern happiness Slide Show >>Feeling sad? Researchers at Britain's University of Leicester reckon you might just be in the wrong...
They've been pimping the new Rufus Wainwright CD on TV (I think during the Daily Show/Colbert Report block) and though I'm not too familiar with him I immediately liked the featured song "Going to Town." My standard procedure in such cases is to check eMusic to see if they have the album for...
Kvöldið í kvöld var tekið á rólegum nótum. Fórum að borða á æðislegum steikarstað reyndar, sama staðnum og við fórum á fyrsta kvöldið. Hrikalega góðar steikur þarna. Skemmtilegt nokk en við tókum allt í einu eftir því að þeir voru að spila Björk þarna meðal annars....
Last night Adam, Catherine, Tracy and I went to see Björk at Shoreline. We were lucky enough to get free VIP box seats complete with private parking, bar/lounge/food and bathrooms! Thank you Dori! Here's a promo photo for Björk's tour in support of her new CD: Volta. Remember her from the 90s? No?...
I made a Björk playlist on Saturday that is making me very happy: 1. Where Is The Line 2. Wanderlust 3. Hyper-ballad 4. Jóga 5. Army Of Me 6. Who Is It 7. Human Behaviour 8. Hunter 9. I Miss You 10. Crying 11. Heirloom 12. Mouth's Cradle 13. Pagan Poetry 14. Vertebrae By Vertebrae 15. Hidden Place...
I guess I'm a little late. I missed the point of time we cut off for introspection and reflection by a few days. I've always wondered why 365, but why not 365 right? Maybe it's good that we cut our time every 365 days. Then we'll have our commercial breaks and chances to change instead of one long...
Alanis' Official Website The importance of being Alanis A breakup fuels Morissette's new album, 'Flavors of Entanglement,' but as she once sang, you live, you learn. By Richard Cromelin, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer June 10, 2008 ALANIS MORISSETTE has felt heartbreak before, as anyone who's...
Do you dubstep? Last week, amongst a lot of old favorites (Death Cab for Cutie, N*E*R*D) was a cavalcade of dubstep artists in my weekly recommendations so I spent most of my eMusic dollars getting familiar. Amazon had been heavily recommending 200 and 10 Tons Heavy ever since I lost my mind over...
The last highlight of my trip to Colorado was seeing Björk perform at Red Rocks. It was my first time seeing her live and my first time at the venue. I was staying in Golden, so Red Rocks wasn't far away or difficult to find. I had to wait a long time in traffic before I could park the car, though....
It was a beautiful sunny day at Deer Lake Park in Burnaby (just outside my home) and me, my bro and his friends went to catch Björk. This insane Icelandic band opened for her (I don't remember their name plus I don't have any letters on my keyboard that has a slash through the 'o' or dots over a u...
björk was, quite simply, amazing... words cannot do justice. Live is better. Live is awesome. I think she played every song that has horns in it, and quite a few that usually have strings replaced by horns. I love horns. The venue was nice, the weather was beautiful, the trip to Canada went off...
I ran around town today trying to find Björk's new CD, Volta, at a reasonable price. I thought Target would have it for $9.99, but they were selling it for $14.99. I went to a few other places, but that was actually the best price I could find. I don't think any CD is worth that much, but I gave in...

It was about 12 mile point when my iPod shuffle picked up this song. I think podington bear sums up Bjork's position in today's music industry. Björk, who is fascinatingly able to sustain a massive following while releasing challenging music that often borders on the avant garde. A true visionary....
This is mostly just an excuse to listen to this song more: That cover art is about all you need to know about what to do with this mix. Use it to set your spirit free. Don't be scared. Be you. Dance. Laugh out loud. Wear a costume if it suits you. If you truly understand the appeal (besides her...
