you *could* start by not putting everybody's
back up with asinine comments, jon.
...what gonzi said is pretty much near the truth.
bj*rk gets the urge to use a string sound, picks up
the phone to her record company. A dozen calls, and
twenty minutes later a seven piece brazilian band is
being flown over.
if mr cylob (as an example) wants a string sound,
he has to NICK IT! very punk, very right on, very
underground.
but, lets move on...
[Disclaimer]
This is my personal experience, that of mr
massey, mr hooper, mr bell, mssrs handley
and turner, may well be different.

Band 'X' - the flavour of the month, has a good
groove that she gets to hear. She raves about
Band 'X' to the music press. Band 'X' are very
flattered. Band 'X' get invited to her studio,
probably full of bigtime dreams about working
with her. Their manager tells them that they
will sell a lot of extra records as a result
of it. The silken web is woven.
They then enter into a pact with the devil, basically.
The sounds are siphoned out of their synths, and
downloaded into mr hooper's [or whoever's] (s)hit
machines. They may get asked to hang around while
mr hooper [or his team of experienced engineers]
sugars their original muse beyond all recognition.
Six months of this sausage factory, then you pop out
the other side, out of favour, like (poor old) plaid,
goldie, and tricky. haha, worth it, was it boys?
I would like to see an album written 100% by Bjork.
It's not too much to ask. I believe she is capable
of it. *then* and only then, would i give her creds.
Not that she'd "give a fuck" what we thought about
her, anyway.

One little indian would probably put out a record of bjork
farting, if they thought people would buy it. When major
labels have a 'star' of her quality, what she says, GOES.
There is a huge amount of pluggers, tweakers, and general
dogsbodies that work at selling *EVERYTHING* she puts out,
propelling it up into the charts. it's big business, mate.
People (Djs, radio stations) buy the records, no matter what's
on them, because "she's a star, isn't she". One little indian
see this, and think..."aha, we're on to a winner here....do it
again", and the whole sorry fucking cycle continues.
Ad Nauseum.

Druk> are you trying to say anyway?
She wanted to work with black dog, mr massey,
and mark bell, because we have *credibility*
something which she skates on precariously.
like people have said, plaid ain't on it.
Seeya,
Ken
