Bjork writes all her own stuff, she doesn't ape anyone else's sound, can't think of anyone else who even comes close to sounding like her actually! and as for her choosing other people to mix and work with her, your implying that Bjork chooses other people to lend some "cutting edge musical genius" as if she's not sussed up enuff herself, Bjork is the only other woman I know of, who I regularly see down Metalheadz, Anokha and all of the Rephlex/Warp nights ... she's been into all of this from the start, gettin deep in on the dancefloor alongside the rest of us ... she aint no bandwagon jumper onner! I saw her at the Blue Note last Wednesday where she was playing her new stuff and she aint aping anyone man, she was singing and yowlin her heart out, and I think her mate Tom Jenkinson would be aghast to her you dissin her like that! it's not like I despise her or anything - but i do take

ohh flippin eck! Underground, Overground, Wombling free ... who gives a flyin fuck??? I reckon Bjork couldn't give a toss about such terminology and'd choose the Womblin free option anyways! Aless Saw Schooly D last night, down Logical Progression, wot a geeezer! e rocked da house! tho think his vocab is a bit on the limited side,seems his fave ever words are 'motherfucker' and 'pussy'! twas a top night, Bukem gettin deep in besides us, but where oh where were all the breakdancers? Met Melle Mel there and he was a total sweetheart and went and put me and my mates on the guestie for the Breakdance Championships at Shepherds Bush Empire on Sunday where Grandmaster Flash and Scorpio from The Furious Five are gonna play, with Crazy Leggs from Rock Steady Crew hostin ... awwww Melle Mel, what a top gent! Better get me bit of lino ready and practise spinnin on me head then! ps: hey, where's your Aphex review then Gonzi?
