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.
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 haven't seen the latter, but I've seen Havoc. You're not missing much. About bored high school girls who get mixed up with a gang and get gang banged.

Been there done that. Why see the movie when it's already my life?
Last year was my first roo and I didn't buy tickets until 85 days out from roo. This year I'm going insane waiting. My life is consumed with pinteresting bonnaroo related items, working on craft projects for roo, and so forth. I have never been so excited and ready for something in my life. Can it be june yet??
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.
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.
Interesting take for sure. I'm a big classical music fan, so I'll try approaching it in a similar way. I am admittedly picky when it comes to classical pieces though, so we shall see. I definitely want to give it another try.
You guys get a big storm and shit is shut down for three days afterwards. As JimmyRoo said, this happens what - once or twice every year or two? I know you get snow a couple times a year, it's not that foreign.
So the government should invest in a higher grade of infrastructure for something that happens once every year or two? Sorry, kids. No reduced cost lunch for you. We gots to buy a snow plow. As such a staunch defender of government oversight, I'm surprised you'd be the one to sign off on this kind of excess spending.
We're talking about Tennessee here. Shit's getting outsourced to private contractors on the cheap. It's not like you need 600 something plows like Connecticut's DOT does.
Like I said, I really don't listen to the regular radio that often. Usually it's in Heather's car, because she doesn't have the fancy shit (Sirius / USB port) like I do. The CT presets are basically carried over from when I was living in Danbury.
I do to have the fancy shit in my car. Both Sirius and USB. So there.
