Yah they're awesome. I'm not overly fond of the male singer but oh well, Bjork more than makes up for it.

You can go even further back in her punk/post-punk roots on youtube as well:

I immediately downloaded BIRTHDAY, REGINA, and HIT and have had them on repeat for days. Bjork's vocals are amazing and some of it is even better than her early solo work.

Yeah, the guy vocalist is a bit weird (but I guess in a late-80s progressive way maybe?)...and I think it's REGINA where he keeps shouting how he doens't really like lobster...it's bizarre to say the least, but the rest of the song is just so damned charming that I can't help but bounce around.

Had a ceiling to paint this morning, so I looked up Welcome to Nightvale and put it on through the speakers.

Got through about 6 episodes, another great recommendation from the forum! Funny, weird, creepy stuff, perfect for listening to while working!

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

You're right, it's a very born-of-the-late70s/80s post-punk style of singing. For the record, I also don't like Fred Schneider (of the B-52s) much either. It's a personal preference against yelping. But also, yah like I already said, Bjork's voice more than makes up for it.

Got a "You were perfect, we just picked someone else!" feedback from an interview yesterday. In my intense frustration I went and did a couple of hours wallpaper stripping with friends at their new house. Amazing how much better it made me feel Posted Image

Wut wut! Hello!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Is it really buzzing and active though? It seems like the inn used to have way more activity. Maybe I am projecting because I am less active than I once was.

I was slightly distracted by the patter of small to medium sized animals raining down just outside the window.

Fresh ground java making me happy now.
