Sweet Jesus.
Up there with ‘Salmon Fishing in the Yemen’ as a puke inducing title
I wouldn’t be surprised if these titles are designed by some AI uber middle class title generation software

Chiswick. Just spent two hours here and I’d forgotten how much I hate the place. Nothing against West London, I lived in Shepherds Bush for years. But Chiswick is an awful place full of awful people. Literally heard a bloke talking to his two very young kids about owning shares “in a £2bn company”. Anyone who fancies a real laugh, head down to the Antiques Place in the old cinema and go to the vinyl section. No word of a lie, they are selling Lionel Richie’s solo LP, the one you see in every charity shop still to this day, for thirty quid. Copies of “Rumours” on sale for £60. Presumably people buy them? Take me back to the suburbs.

Has Bjork gone full Nathan Barley?

I think Bjork is massively overrated.
Distinctive voice and interesting collaborators but vocal melodies all sound the same to me now
(Birthday rmx still stands up mind you)

I’m not a fan of musicians being asked to DJ and then playing a wacky experimental (trainwreck) of a set that evokes whoops and hollers from the fawning fans. Put any regular spinner on and try that shit and people would be throwing things at them in disgust.

lost interest in Bjork a long time back but am open to anything I might’ve missed in recent years. I doubt she could ever top Isobel, Venus or Hyperballad which all still sound amazing imo.
Vespertine was the creative peak for me, then it all started to sound so contrived. Maybe it always did, and it’s me who’s changed.
Post still sounds amazing to these ears though.

Why my Vinted account keeps going into French when my language settings are English 
“It was sick, mate. she played an 11 hour set of one beat that contained every polyrhythm from every continent in the world and it was so deconstructed it was just one kick every drum 1 hour and 8 minutes. And she wore a Gilbert from Gilbert’s Fridge costume that effectively made her deaf and blind. Sick.”
Vespertine is a masterpeice though. Top 5 for me.

JFC.
Will almost certainly include 1 or all of these:
- twee pop song they loved as a child
- mainstream gangsta rap curveball
- Nina Simone/Billie Holliday/Ella Fitzgerald type song
- overplayed 80s pop banger

The comments make me feel like the people who hate her are the real villains here…
