Fuck fuck fuck. Bjork canceled one of her shows and rescheduled it for King's Theater, and I can get a ticket. Do I do that or get a day pass to Gov Ball? AHHHH
Just remembered that I got Ticketmaster giftcards for Christmas.
I can't imagine if we had to wait that long this year.
Haha, just wait until next year. This year's early release is going to really throw people for a loop when they have to wait 13 months for the next lineup.

I still don't get Bjork. I know that all of her songs are good, but after 2 or 3 minutes, I feel like they should be "going somewhere else"... and they don't. Maybe I'm not patient enough yet.

I love her. I am not sure what there's not to get. Granted she is a bit strange, but I also feel she might be a bit more geared towards girls though. Also, for me, its all about the lyrics, maybe if you read the lyrics while listening? And to totally grill you, what album have you listened to?
Ok, so this is one of those stupid FB share things... except it's not so stupid. According to the responses on my friend's post, there are a lot of varied answers:
Why is it that regardless of the color shirt I'm wearing, belly button lint is always the same color?
The same reason lint in the dyer is usually the same grayish color? Only red really stands out. Maybe it is your special brand of sweat that pulls all the color out?

Both. Then duck out of Gov'nuh's Ball early to get to Bjork on time.

You're right. Lights or darks, doesn't matter. Dryer lint always has that same grayish tint. What's eating all my colors?!

I really wish she would go on a full tour instead of just hanging out in New York. I need to see my inspiration again.

the song itself isn't bad. verse/chorus are pretty standard rock song structures, but the bridge makes it not a same old same old type of sound. I used to be in a band and recording was the hardest part, because stuff that would sound good in the studio room sounded like shiz on tape. vocals are the hardest part. if i can offer suggestion, buy a good vocal mic; a nice condenser goes a long way (and also works great for cymbal and bass drum recording). I think the vocal track is holding you back the most because the song really needs to be equalized and mastered better. I also think that, unless you are going for that particular guitar tone, that you could make it either more raw/garage-y or put more effects on top. right now it sounds like it came from my little peavey practice amp, which is fine if that's what you are going for, but I think some tone adjustments would do wonders (the caveat being: its kinda mixed unevenly, mostly due to the vocals, and so this could just be a side effect of that).
these are just my two cents. you wanted some feedback and didn't get much, so I thought I would help. when I was in college I made a ton of recordings with my band and it is a tedious, self-doubting process. good luck to ya. and I did dig the song, it has lots of potential, it just sounds like a really rough demo.
I appreciate it that. All the recording was done in my basement and I'm learning as I go. I'm using audicity with a dent little module and my equipment is sub par. This is a new experience for me. I've written these acoustic songs and I'm finally trying to get them out with a full band sound. tedious is the right word. For the last few weeks I've been jumping from instrument to instrument trying to get the sounds I want and it's tough.
check out Reaper. it's a really powerful DAW that works way better than audacity, IMHO. there are lots of plug-ins available for it (free or otherwise). Reaper itself you can download for free and "evaluate" for a while before you pay them. It only costs $50, which is remarkably cheap compared to Logic or Pro Tools or Live, and doesn't sacrifice sound/quality. I actually have Live and I prefer Reaper for recording all my guitar and bass tracks.

Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

I think the music lacks a rhythm and melody that I can "feel". I appreciate it, and respect it, but don't "get it". I usually don't care about the female/male aspect of music. I admittedly am unfamiliar with her lyrics, but I usually don't dive into that until I can feel the emotion of the songs, which I just don't. I expected to be grilled when I posted that, so no worries. When I give artists a chance, I don't mess around. I've listened to every one of her songs at least once. I gave her many chances the year she played Roo. Perhaps I need to see her live.

.... I don't either.
Well, I'm glad it's not just me around here. Girl can sing, but it just doesn't give me the feels.

I fell in love with Bjork twice in 2013 - once when I started listening to her music prior to her playing at Roo, and then again after seeing her show. Admittedly, it took me a while to get into; I don't think anyone just throws on Bjork and goes "Oh, this my jam!". She sounded quite weird to me at first, with her accent, odd way of elongating syllables, and use of unusual rhythms and time signatures. But over time - and after really getting a feel for the lyrics - she grew on me. Her lyrics are completely next level to me. She crafts metaphors and themes throughout entire albums, using them as a vessel into her mind (which I'm quite convinced operates in higher dimensions than yours or mine). For example, in "Moon" she uses a 17/8 time signature, which I read somewhere that the number 17 had something to do with lunar phases, but I did a quick Google search and didn't find much so it might be bunk). She's also stated that the rise and fall in pitch in that song is meant to correlate with the lunar cycle, and the song ends (both lyrically and symphonically) with the cycle returning to its beginning so that it can begin again. It's wonderful. She relates love and the human experiences through the changing of tides and the merging tectonic plates, all with music (and visual art, if you check out her videos) to support her ideas.
Listening to her is reminiscent of reading Shakespeare or listening to classical music - it can be difficult at first, but after becoming accustomed to it, you can start to absorb it on the fly and appreciate its beauty.
And her live show is just amazing. Fucking amazing.

I'm much more of a "feels" person than a "lyrics" person. maybe that's my challenge. but I want to understand what the hype is about, but I feel like it will take a lot more time & commitment.

I am a weirdo, but the first time I heard Bjork I fell in love. I remember when Human Nature and Army of Me came out and I was blown away and I did think that was my jam. I went out an bought the album immediately and the Tank Girl album. I think that following her since the 90s has help me since I already knew what to expect and loved her already. I could image it being more difficult to get into her now, then 20 years ago. But even 20 years ago people had a hard time getting into her. She is sort of an acquired taste for most, but AMAZING live it right.

haha two totally different reasonings here. one of them being I actually am interested in giving bjork more of a shot, but she's a lot to digest. I got enough beyonce for a lifetime from 2nd grade - 6th grade.
