    it's refreshing that you have pop culture blind spots too and haven't heard literally everything

    You really can't go wrong with any. Headphones is the ultimate song to listen to late at night in bed.

    My favourite song on Post (and favourite song of all time) is Hyperballad. My first memory of enjoying music is listening to my parents copies of Debut and Post and Hyperballad was the song I enjoyed the most at like 4 years old.

    If it makes you feel any better, Sin City is nowhere even close to being as good as Illmatic or The Sopranos haha.

    I could also have gone with "I have never seen a Tarkovsky film" or "I haven't seen 8 1/2". Those are my biggest critical sins. Sin City is likely my biggest cultural "everybody's seen it" one.

    I think Hyperballad is probably my favourite Bjork song. Unravel, Play Dead and Pluto are up there too.

    You really can't complain with any favourite picks.

    Domestica, which was bafflingly cut from Vespertine is an absolutely perfect song, and probably my second favourite of hers, so those that haven't heard, I implore you to listen.

    It's so rare to find a song so confident about being content. It's a song about fuck all in one sense, but it encompasses so much in another sense. It's the enjoyment of mundane and happy adulthood, with all it's little mini dramas set to music, and it's perfect.

    That last few moments of the song where the "ba ba bas" drop off into just a little happy sigh is probably my favourite tiny little bit in music.

    Gonna be cliche and say Post is my favorite album from her, and actually Enjoy REALLY shot up for being one of my favorites on it.

    Listened to it early today. It's the most sensual and delicate album I've ever heard.

    Missed this at the time, but she did a Reddit AMA; [AMA] I’m singer and songwriter Bjork, and I’m here to answer all your questions! AMA! • /r/Music

    It contains some absolute vintage Bjork answers;

    Alright, alright.

    Saw her last night in London for the first time, and it was wonderful. She played with a ~30 piece string orchestra, so songs like Joga and Stonemilker sounded absolutely phenomenal. There was no electronic elements to her live, so the setlist was catered more towards her more orchestral stuff. There were a few deep cuts, she played Aurora, I've Seen It All and sang The Anchor Song in Icelandic, which was cool. Played about 7 or so from Vulnicura and then 5 or 6 old ones.


    She ended the night with Pluto, which obviously is this big pulsing, aggressive electronic song, but adapted for a string orchestra, it sounded pretty odd, but brilliant. Bit sad she didn't play hyperballad, but you can't win them all!
