New Bjork CD "Medulla" Released Tomorrow!

[Susang]

I can barely stand the wait!

[XNASA]

1. Did you say her new disc is called, 'Vendooza'?

What kind of a stupid title is that?????

[Susang]

3. How would I know?

I've never even heard of that word. Did you make it up or something? }(

[goodhue]

5. New album is called "Medulla," which is Latin for marrow

Vendooza is a Chicago rock band

[Susang]

8. Yes.

Of course. How could I have forgotten that? :crazy:

[XNASA]

9. What a relief.

'Cause Vendooza is a really stupid name.

[Susang]

12. Did you know that there's a rock band with the same name?

Shocking! :o

[XNASA]

13. I have heard of them.

I am one of about 10 people who have.

[Susang]

19. You and goodhue could start a fan club

You could get pimp cups made and everything! :evilgrin:

[goodhue]

21. Count me out.

I've never heard of them. I had no idea what in the world xnasa was referring to, so I googled vendooza and came up with rock band. I remain curious about xnasa-vendooza axis. Why vendooza on the brain?

[Bat Boy]

23. The Chicago rock band is actually more like a "cult"

They've obviously gotten to XNASA. This will take the kind of deprogramming only Guiness can accomplish.

[XNASA]

24. There are 2 N's in Guinness.

Where were you brought up? On a farm in Iowa?

[Bat Boy]

25. Sorry. Drunk.

And yes, I was brought up on a farm in Iowa, thank you very much. It doesn't mean I'm stupid.

It does however mean certain things about my relationship with animals that I'd rather not go into.

[XNASA]

26. Not stupid, just unable to spell 'Guinness' correctly.

It's a sure giveaway.

Badger.

[Bat Boy]

27. Badger....hehe

2. I've heard it's strange, even for her...

I love Bjork so much. I just think she is really quite possibly the most unique artist working anywhere within 1,000 miles of even the most moderate of mainstream music. But damn, can that girl get "out there" sometimes.

[Susang]

6. Did you see her open the Olympics?

The song she wrote, Oceania, is on this new cd. It was haunting and beautiful.

[goodhue]

7. most of the music is made with voices alone

4. I vote Bjork for "least likely to have a clothing line at Kmart"

And I mean that in a good way. Creative in an offbeat, fresh and interesting way. Still not sure the swan dress was a good idea though.

[Susang]

11. You'd have to define "good idea"

Then look at the Academy Awards for that year. I think she was right on the money with that dress. She should have chucked the eggs at all the industry people rather than merely dropping them on the red carpet. It would have made a much more interesting evening.

10. I have an advance copy.

It's messed up. REAL messed up. Makes Sigur Ros sound like ordinary pop in comparison.

[Susang]

16. I hate you

Not really, but I want an advance copy too! <said in my best Veruca Salt voice>

[asthmaticeog]

22. Wish I could hook that up.

I just tried ripping a couple of tracks into MP3 format so you could DL a song or two if you wanted to get a quick fix before you bought it, but the promo has really good copy-protection. Capitalist swine.

[curse10]

14. I love Bjork

I'll have to wait to get the cd, though- low on funds this month :-)

[Placebo]

15. I used to be Bjork CRAZY!

But luckily that phase passed in a week. One straight week of nothing but Bjork playing was enough for me!

I love her music, but I just can't deal with it. I'd much rather hear it in a movie or something. :shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

17. It is getting positive reviews.

[Susang]

20. She is review-proof

Particularly her live performances. On her last tour, I saw people who were obviously dragged there by their S.O.'s who ended up being fans by the end of the show. She was that amazing.

18. CHI WA WA WA WA

That is all.
