Bjork adds Montreal date to fall tour!

[AD]

Small error in the article, as they maintain Montreal is in BC, but other than that, AWESOME!

Anyone know anything about the venue, Jacques Cartier Pier?

Will that Björk ever quit? We sure hope not! Following tours and new albums and singles alike, you'd think she'd wanna take a nap or hang out with her kids or something. Not our Björk, though; when it comes to her public, she just gives and gives. And it's a good thing, too, 'cuz from her, we'll gladly just take and take.

She's added a few North American dates to her continuing trek in support of the colorful Volta. Atlanta, Detroit, Montreal, and New York, you're in luck. But don't you weep, continent: we have a feeling there are more dates on the way.

Björk:

07-13 Bilbao, Spain - Guggenheim Esplanade

07-15 Segovia, Spain - Palacio Real de la Granja

07-18 Madrid, Spain - Plaza de Toros Las Ventas

07-21 Udine, Italy - NoBorders Festival

i dunno. link doesn't work either. i'm assuming it's a pic of bjork's kid or something.

Maybe that site is blocked at your office? I see the picture.

[Kanada Kev]

must be something goofy going on with your connection? Both work for me right now. Hmmm.

[AD]

it's not my connection. oh well. as long as it's not a graphic telling people the montreal show is cancelled. D+ for effort. :blush:

[meggo]

you're not alone AD! didn't work for me either. but i'm sure i will survive.

[Kanada Kev]

nope, just a cute pic of Bjork when she was a little kid.

Hey AD, what recent Björk songs would you recommend to somebody who was a casual fan of her first two discs, but lost track of her since then? I kind of didn't like her music after I saw the movie "Dancer in the Dark", but to be fair I haven't listened to anything recent from her.

[AD]

do you like the more dancey / beat oriented stuff, or the ballads, or just everything?

all is full of love is a great tune. joga, bachelorette, those three are all on homogenic.

i dunno. this is hard. i usually listen on headphones without the names of songs. it's all good dude.

the new album is very strong.

i've seen a lot of shows in my limited time, and there are 2 bjork shows in the top 5. or top 3.

she put out a live box set, featuring all her albums performed live, give or take. i'd recommend grabbing stuff from it. very different from the normal cds, very cool. the 4 cds in it were offered individually as well.
