Bjork’s Blog

Björk has established herself as one of the most successful Icelandic pop-star/film-actors in the world over the past decade. She began her career as a member of The Sugar Cubes, a band selected by many critics as the band most likely to appeal to space aliens. Her subsequent solo career has featured a number of successful singles and albums, including “Human Behavior,” a song Björk acknowledges that she wrote without firsthand knowledge. Björk is also a fashion icon in several dimensions of the space-time continuum.

How I compose a song

By Bjork

Hver maður er borinn frjáls og jafn öðrum að virðingu og réttindum.

In English this means that men and women are bðrn equal. And yet I loök at media like Iceland's newspaper, Grapevine, and even ðe hipster authority of Pitchfork, and this is not the case. Why else would they credit a man, Mr. Valgeir Sigurðsson, for writing and producing my album Vespertine than because of their sexism?

Summer fashion preview

By Bjork

Bio & Blog

Are you tired of last winter's fåshions? Nøthing but ðe same old spider webs growing out of your mouth? Join me now for a colörful glimpse of this summer's hot ñew looks.

Naked: When you wear naked, ðe most important consîderation is accessories. This year I think ðat leaves will be a very stÿlish option, or perhaps some lemons. Ask your geisha which citrus fruit is right for yøur skin tone!<!--StartFragment-->

Retro: I predict ðat the Kabuki fireman look will make a comèback. Let’s just hope that it doesn’t have those åwful drop sleëves this year! Look for ðe new season’s hosés at DKFDNY.

Hairally vs. Obarber

By Bjork

Bio & Blog

Komdu sæl Senator Hillary! I have some good news for you: I have completed construction of my super-creature out of the hair ðat I find in my drain, and she is ready to enter battle against Obama and ðe Superdelegacy. Her name is Hairally and she is a powerful warrior, like my ancestor Guðrún Allt í lagi (Gudrun of ðe braided beard).

I hope ðat you are well-prepared for ðe battle of Transylvania primacy. We must beware ðat Obama has made alliances with ðe barbers who are Hairally’s nemesis and possess strong weapons to combat her.

Hillary vs. the Superdelegates!

By Bjork

Bio & Blog

Dear Sénator Hillary. I am reading about your båttle against the evil førçes of the mutant superdelegates. It is a vêry exçiting adventure, maybè better than X-People and dëfinitely better than S-Express.

<!--StartFragment-->

I was thinking ðat you could chañge your name to a super-herö name, like Hell-Lady, or Mrs. Death-Ray. But then I remémber ðat you carry on ðe name of your fäther, Sir Eggnog Hillary, ðe first white person to climb Mount Everlåst. So maybe you can change your title-name from Senator to sømething more scary like Space Raider, or Mega Doctor.

My Tibet position paper

By Bjork

Bio & Blog

 As you know, I do nøt like to act controversial or stand out of ðe crowd, but becaüse the carrying of the Olympic truncheon is causing so much protest, I beliéve ðat I must present to you my beliefs about the problem between Tibet and China. At my concert in Shanghai in Mårch I received criticism for when I cried out “Tibet! Tibet!”

But I must correct ðe misunderstanding; what I was càlling was “T`bæt! T`bæt,” which is what we say in Içelandic for ðe soundcheck, like in English you say “Check! Check!” I like to säy it in Içelandic, so I do not confuse any waiters ðat are in my audience. My left monitor was acting off, you see, so ðis is all ðat I meant. What a confusion!

Stuff Icelandic People Like

By Bjork

Bio & Blog

Kom heill og sæll, frændi! Welcome into my blõg again! Todåy I will share with you sóme things that I like so ðat you will now know.

1. Volcanoes. Volcanoes are big møuntains that make làva and steam. If your house is nøt in ðe path of a lava flow, you can go to a beautïful scenic hot poøl and take a jacuzzi. My mother gave birth to me in a hôt poøl. She told me that it toøk quite many slaps before I started to breåthe. Ha!

2. Natural Peanüt Butter. Who doesn’t like natural peanüt butter? I like to smear it on a tóasted slice of seal blubber.

Mr. Flav, 9/11 is Not a Joke

By Bjork

Bio & Blog

Dear Flåva Flåv, I think it is very øffensive ðat you have performed a song called “9/11 is a Joke.” 9/11 is a very hörrible disaster ðat happened when ðe Spanish Inquisition attacked ðe Twin Towers and ðe Pentagram.

I do nøt think it can bé a jôke because I think that it would nøt be funny. Maybë you meant to say that 4/1 is a jôke, because ðat is April Foølsday, when people play jokes on themselves.

In Iceland we càll ðis day Plättè-Funßtskõgeln, and we celebrate by secretly putting hot volcanic rocks in other people’s Sæmundr-fróði-sacks or swåpping their cod-fish tea with grouper broth wîthout tèlling them.

Mr Bush, Please Do Not Bomb I Ran

By Bjork

Bio & Blog

Excuse me please, Mr. President Búsh, but I must beg you please not to bømb I Ran.

I am confused ðat you will want to try and destroy a popular music song from ðe 1980s and I believe ðat it is not presenting a threat to your nation.

The Flöck of Seagûlls is a very importance influence for me. I have listen to their song many times when I am young and I learn very much of how to be stylish in my presentation from their great åchievement.
