Tomorrow Is Record Store Day

When's the last time you want to an actual record store? Like where you have to walk through a door and can't just click "download"? Yes, we live inside a blog, but record stores are pretty great. Brandon worked at...  CONTINUE READING TOMORROW IS RECORD STORE DAY»

New Björk Video - "Wanderlust"

On this most Björk-y of days, Iceland's favorite daughter is also premiering her video for Volta's "Wanderlust." We've mentioned it previously, offering a few stills of the luxurious Isaiah Saxon and Sean Hellfritsch-directed landscape (yes, of Encyclopedia Pictura, the folks...  CONTINUE READING NEW BJöRK VIDEO - "WANDERLUST"»

The 'Gum Drop Volume XXVIII: Hear Dirty Projectors Cover Björk, Win An iPod Nano

On Monday 3/31, we launch Enjoyed, our song-by-song tribute to Björk's Post. (Click here for complete tracklist.) When we asked her about about the 1995 album she told us: I was very aware of it at the time that I...  CONTINUE READING THE 'GUM DROP VOLUME XXVIII: HEAR DIRTY PROJECTORS COVER BJöRK, WIN AN IPOD NANO»

Björk Talks Tibet And Kosovo, Releases "Wanderlust" Video Stills

"Declare Independence" is undoubtedly one of the best tracks from Volta. Unfortunately, the technically complex Michel Gondry video fails to tap the track's emotional power, but when Björk performs the anthem live and does something as seemingly simple as give...  CONTINUE READING BJöRK TALKS TIBET AND KOSOVO, RELEASES "WANDERLUST" VIDEO STILLS»

Big Day Out 2008

This past weekend a couple Big Days Out took pace down under (Friday in Aukland and Sunday at the Gold Coast) with LCD Soundsystem, Björk, Rage Against The Machine, Battles, Kate Nash, Billy Bragg, Silverchair, and Arcade Fire, among others. Rage's set (along with Tom Morello's solo turn as the Night Watchman) was expectedly political, but doesn't sound like Win Butler was caught making Obama orations -- or, at least not in the clip we found of "Black Mirror." As far as Björk and Co., they kept the ass-kicking on stage. The next Big Day stop's this Friday in Sydney.

New Björk Video - "Declare Independence"

Well shit, this is pretty great. Michel Gondry tag teams with Björk for the seventh time (and first in a decade, taking it back to B's "Bachelorette" days) and he conjures a concept for the Icelandic queen and her army...  CONTINUE READING NEW BJöRK VIDEO - "DECLARE INDEPENDENCE"»

Björk "Declare Independence" Video Preview

After letting a fan conjure the atmosphere for mechanistic, hyper-percussive "Innocence," Björk enlisted old standby Michel Gondry to transform punky, flag-planting Volta standout "Declare Independence" into video form way out there in Long Island City. The French director, who's now...  CONTINUE READING BJöRK "DECLARE INDEPENDENCE" VIDEO PREVIEW»

In Case You Missed It: Last Night's Party (Feat. Radiohead Covering Björk)

So Radiohead hosted a party yesterday (hosted, get it?). Everybody was invited, but not everybody could get in -- or get online, as it were. But here's some good news for those who found the party crashed due to tech/bandwith...  CONTINUE READING IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: LAST NIGHT'S PARTY (FEAT. RADIOHEAD COVERING BJöRK)»

Foo Fighters, Jon Bon Jovi Get Punched Just Before Eating (And Björk & Charles Barkley Do Iconoclasts)

This week's SNL got off to a rocky start when a cross-eyed and painful-to-watch Ritchie Sambora lost his next-to-only line during host Jon Bon Jovi's monologue (Sambora smiling blankly, mouthing "Oh shit, I lost it." To his credit, intended or...  CONTINUE READING FOO FIGHTERS, JON BON JOVI GET PUNCHED JUST BEFORE EATING (AND BJöRK & CHARLES BARKLEY DO ICONOCLASTS)»

Björk @ Madison Square Garden, NYC 9/24/07

New Björk Video - "Innocence"

There's a winner! Yes indeed, Björk's fan-made video contest has been won by the French duo Fred&Annabelle (their lack of spaces, not ours), whose visually explosive take on Volta's über percussive "Innocence" beat out almost 500 other entries to be...  CONTINUE READING NEW BJöRK VIDEO - "INNOCENCE"»

New Björk Video - "Earth Intruders"

Björk handed the reins over to French director Michel Ocelot for the first official Volta vid, sorta like a mashup of the "Human Behaviour" forest during A Nightmare Before Christmas. Unlike Gondry's take, Ocelot keeps it linear, horizontal, two-dimensional ......  CONTINUE READING NEW BJöRK VIDEO - "EARTH INTRUDERS"»

Born Ruffians Cover Grizzly Bear (Studio Version), Ed Droste Reveals His Ideal

Last year we posted about Warp Records' Born Ruffians in-studio performance at KEXP, covering Grizzly Bear's "Knife," giving the standard-in-the-making a pepped-up, jangly-guit R&B shuffle. The track got the Ruffians' some well-deserved blog love, and now they've memorialized their take...  CONTINUE READING BORN RUFFIANS COVER GRIZZLY BEAR (STUDIO VERSION), ED DROSTE REVEALS HIS IDEAL»
