i'm not sure if that link that someone sent had to
do with this or not... but bjork has a lot more to
do with the production process than people give her
credit for. vespertine was, reportedly, about 70 to
80% done before she took on any collaborators... and
besides that, bjork was into idm when most of you,
myself included, were still into whatever silly and
embarassing stuff you guys were into before idm and
more out there music.
i think that, for seriously sexist reasons, most
people
assume that she's some kind of moldable pop star
that's
more personality and image than vision. i know
someone who worked on vespertine with her and
according
to him, he's never met someone so full of life, ideas,
passion and respect for music.
without bjork, i might have never gotten fully
absorbed
by this music, and i bet the same could be said for
many of you... people dismiss bjork for whatever
reason, i don't know if it's because she's on a major
label or because she's got a broad appeal (my 10 and
11 year old sisters love her and watch volumen with
disturbing regularity)... whatever though, "that is
the sort of errant snobbery up with which i will not
put" (btw, not that this is much of an incentive, but
for anyone who can tell me who that quote was from,
i will mail you a copy of my demo).
