Björk Is Back, And Ready To Attack

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comJuly 27, 2011 //


Raise your hand if you are excited for Björk‘s new album, Biophilia, which will drop in late September. Luckily, she has cut the suspense, releasing her first video from the album, “Crystalline,” this morning. Not only is the song thorougly embedded in my head now, the video is also dope. Not that I should be surprised—it’s directed by the amazing Michel Gondry. Enjoy. [Village Voice] Keep reading »

At the late fashion designer Alexander McQueen‘s memorial service on Monday, Bjork sang a moving rendition of Billie Holiday’s “Gloomy Sunday” for the glamorous gathered to mourn at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. For her performance, she wore a pair of “angel wings” created by McQueen, who took his life earlier this year on the day before his mother’s funeral. You can see a close-up of the singer’s wings here. Keep reading »

Bjork Enlists Moomins To Star In “The Comet Song” Video

Susannah BreslinAugust 24, 2010 //

If you ever read Finn Family Moomintroll as a child, you’ll surely recognize the characters who populate Bjork‘s latest music video, “The Comet Song.” The Moomins children’s book series was created by Tove Jansson and went on to gain worldwide popularity, primarily due to its main characters: soft, white, fluffy Mommin creatures that live in Finland. The song appears in “Moomins and the Comet Chase,” a new movie compiled from a stop motion Moomin TV series that ran in Poland from 1977 to 1982. It stars Moomintroll, Moominmama, Moominpapa, Snufkin, Sniff, a Hemulen, the Hattifatteners, and more. (But where’s Little My?) [Your Music Today] Keep reading »

Amelia McDonell-ParryOctober 6, 2009 //

My favorite thing about this photo, which is seriously making my ovaries coo, is that Icelandic singer Bjork has had the same hairstyle since she was three years old. Same fierce unibrow too! [BuzzFeed] Keep reading »

  • Josh Hartnett was hospitalized for some sort of gastrointestinal disorder. And, no, this isn’t another Hollywood excuse, like exhaustion. [Dlisted]
  • Bjork was spotted in one of her kooky outfits while shopping in New York City. Wait, she actually shops for those clothes? I thought she conjured them in a cauldron. [Perez Hilton]
  • Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer broke up reportedly because he has a Twitter addiction. But that’s not the only annoying internet habit that can doom your relationship. [College Candy]

    Fashion Slideshow: Fun (Non-Traditional) Fashion Icons

    Annika HarrisAugust 15, 2008 //

    When it comes to fashion, most celebrities play it safe, wearing what is expected and what has been previously accepted. If Gwyneth needs to walk a red carpet, then her stylist calls up Giorgio Armani for a vintage gown that is sure to turn heads, but not ruffle any feathers. And what we end up having is a bunch of hyper-stylized “fashionistas” that can hardly dress themselves. So we decided to put together a slideshow of famous women that have really fun, uniquely-cultivated styles. And sometimes they veer completely left, but that’s what makes them so interesting and admirable. Keep reading »

    Rock-A-Bye Baby: Hookup Music For The Kiddies!

    SimchaJuly 9, 2008 //

    When it’s sexy time, it’s also time to take off your clothes and put on some sweet tunes — like the Pixies, right? Cause you know when I put on the Surfer Rosa record it is time to get busy. Sadly, now my hip, hot record collection favorites are being marketed towards new parents so they can bring the classics of classic rock to their kids. Awwww…ugh. [Simcha, you know you think that baby with the headphones is a-dor-a-ble. -- Editor] Rockabye Baby is a company dedicated to turning the rock, metal, and pop songs you like to do it to into precious little lullabies. That’s right, the same jams that put you in the mood for baby makin’ have been remade for your little bundle of joy. Creepy! When the album you lost your virginity to is on the list (i.e. Nirvana’s Nevermind) it just seems like another sign that you’re are supposed to be squeezing out lil’ screamers by now. But alas, for those actually with mini-me’s the music series features great artists like Led Zeppelin, No Doubt, Bjork, Radiohead and yes, even Metallica, Tool, and Queens of the Stone Age all done over again soft and sweet for nap time. Nicole Richie and Scott Baio spin them for their celebuspawn, because after all, it’s never to early to teach your kid how to headbang to a xylophone heavy rendition of Nine Inch Nails’ The Hand That Feeds.
