We're spread a little too thin. There are like 10 Bjork threads in my current posts list and I've taken it upon myself to propose the idea that we put all of our fammings-out, reviews, new tidbits, concert info and such in one place. If we're lucky, they might even make it a sticky once the album leaks. So please, make it easy on me (and everyone else) and post your hyper-geekness here. I'll do the same.

New Music: Bjork: "Innocence" [MySpace]

Seems Björk has stepped out of that big-footed bauble-suit for a moment to serve up Volta's first course on her MySpace, and it's got spice. No full-length "Earth Intruders" yet, but we do get snippets of that and two other songs-- "Wanderlust" and "I See Who You Are"-- as well as the whole of "Innocence", posted in conjunction with her just-announced music video contest.

The latter tune has our Icelandic enigma leveling extremes, proclaiming "The thrill of fear/ Now greatly enjoyed with courage!" in the crevices of rock'em sock'em beats and pesky synth squelches. It's herky-jerky and relentless, lean and masculine, aggressive and confident-- heck, you half-expect Timbaland to pop up and take 'em to that ethereal bridge. Um, is this Björk's "SexyBack"?

Can't wait for her "My Love"...

On the news front, "Earth Intruders" debuted on the Billboard 100 at number 84, making it Björk's highest charting single of all time in the US! Her only other chart entry is "Big Time Sensuality" at number 88.

And I agree with this review. "Innocence" is so joyous it makes my teeth ache. This is like "I Go Humble" for the Noughties.

Love it! And I know several people are having their wish come true. Looks like that bigfoot statue is going to make its video premier soon.

Bjork wants you!

And this is all based on iTunes? I'm still praying for remixes and b-sides on a physical single.

GangstaFam said:

Yeah, I don't think she's getting big airplay.

Moonbeam said:

Her dreams of a "Sexyback" or "Maneater" are dashed. :shucks:

And don't forget to catch her on SNL tomorrow night!

I'm resisting downloading this. It comes out in Oz May 4th.

Moonbeam said:

I thought I would too, but my willpower is zip right now. Just get it!

Moonbeam said:

Well, it hasn't leaked yet. But you can go to her myspace and hear "Innocence". It's super duper happy!

GangstaFam said:

Moonbeam said:

Just do it. And thank me later. She's offering 'em up!

GangstaFam said:

i have a feeling it'll be like the last album. no physical single for the first one, and then a couple of remixes for EI will turn up on the Innocence single.

I'm super-excited about this album.

SNL tomorow night!

Tessa said:

There a world beyond the USA (thank god for that!)

It's getting a physical release

MikeMatronik said:

Oceania had no single release even outside the US either.

Dayspring said:

I think one of the "Who Is It" singles actually said "Oceania" on the side.

I guess this isn't working.

GangstaFam said:

Just listened. Wow. She's gonna work me over big time!

Moonbeam said:

Cool! So you love it then?

GangstaFam said:

And those other snippets are tantalizing too.

Moonbeam said:

I haven't played those yet. Not a big fan of snippets.

GangstaFam said:

One of them sounds like "Cover Me".

Moonbeam said:

I think Mike mentioned that. Is it "I See Who You Are"? I knew I was right about the Post vibe!

GangstaFam said:

So far it seems like Post and Homogenic.

Moonbeam said:

Are you getting the "I Go Humble" vibe from "Innocence"?
