Deep last night i was listening to Vespertine, by Bjork, one of the sexiest and most romantic albums i've ever heard; rivalled only by a few things in Trent Reznor's discography.
But this morning I woke up to my old rant at people who compare Portishead and Bjork, or worse, put them in the same category. Seriously, what the fuck? One prances around in gaudy costumes spewing high pitched, over-excited semi-icelandic gibberish about sex and wanting to explode, the other is a whole band fronted by a woman who sits in darkened rooms drinking and chain smoking, writing profoundly depressing suicidal songs to music that isn't any more uplifting. If someone can point out the comparison between the two, other than they are female (i mean theres a lot of people out there with the same gender as another person these days) that'd be smashing.
I think your biased based on physical attraction.
ReplyDeletebiased to who? i like both. They're both good artists, but then so was johnny cash and mozart.. doesn't make em comparable.
ReplyDeleteOk but now you suggest it, i say its time for:
ReplyDeleteBlog poll!

Oh wow anonymous + I just seen your last comments. You call em how you see em, huh?
ReplyDeleteEh makes lewd comments on blog posts, and doesn't afraid of anything.
