A short article entitled "Visiting Dignitaries: Björk Ed," in the "Talk of the Town" section of the latest New Yorker (2-27-12) about Björk's Biophilia residency in New York City (I pasted it together from the digital edition, hope it's still readable):

Who is going to see her in NY?? ^___^

Bjork Voltaic by ~HYFCOOLCLUB on deviantART

ever since her greatest hits tour I've been dying (DYING) for a decent (or even semi-decent) mp3 of the early version of "where is the line"

can anyone help me out? PLEASE?


for those not in the know, this is the version I mean:

I've only listened to thunderbolt so far I just found out about the stream right now. Its definitely more polished sounding, but the change isn't drastic at least not on this song. Heres the link.

http://www.npr.org/2011/10/04/140926565/first-listen-bj-rk-biophilia?ps=mh_frhdl1#playlist

And I don't like it at all. The lyrics sound like she literally sat down and was like this songs going to be about crystals and this ones going to be about tectonic plates. Its like shes using a bunch of metaphors that don't mean anything. I would be more forgiving but even the production sounds like crap, and I hate how there isn't much song structure just a bunch of randomness. I hope this is the old version and not the version she had more work put into, but either way I don't think I'm going to like it at all. Idk maybe it will grow on me.

... going on now on bjork.com shop; I think USA's is only through nonesuch.com? Anyway, ordered "manual" version. I'd love the super-deluxe "ultimate" one, but I'd rather save my bucks to see Björk in concert.

And this pre-sale ends tomorrow! I was just lucky to catch up on my Google Reader...

Hmmm... Why haven't I seen much about Biophilia here lately? There is so much marvelocity going on! Is this LJ group dead? Has everyone gone off to the Fbook?
