Filling My Bjork Quota

Posted by KATHY F. MAHDOUBI at 04:13 PM

I love this woman. Damn. I was sixteen when the video for “Human Behavior” began circulating MTV. Hmm… 1993. And ever since I have admired Bjork for her ability to manipulate conventional pop music with relentlessly imaginative experimentation, while keeping in the confines of accessibility. This live performance at Canal Studios in France features the awesome beatboxing of Razhel… and I dig that funky girl and her tribal growling… she happens to be Tanya Tagaq Gillis, an Inuit throat singer.

Awesome.

Did you ever hear this song in its Vespertine tour form? Or even better, the long-fabled but only recently released original version she worked on with Bogdan Raczynski. Well, it's really too bad you don't work in the Stranger offices with us. I've got both those and pretty amazing Björk collection on the network iTunes share. Tons of old versions and remixes, especially from Medúlla, which are generally hard to find.

Drop me a line if you have a hankerin'.

Network iTunes share? I'm suddenly such a little island out here. And funds keep my personal collection a laughing stock. Believe me, you will hear from me eventually. Thanks!
