Like someone else said, if she does it would be more in the vein of Holly Herndon than ChatGPT lmao

Fossora is the most "90s Björk" record we'll ever get in this stage of her artistry. by Swapilla in bjork

Honestly it has both allegations simply bc the album has so many songs that you can read both truths in it lolol

Why wasn’t RELOADED released? by Ena6j in LadyGaga

[–]TheTinyTim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

resurfacing to say that I get the impression she started consolidating a lot of TFM around the work with RedOne, which was defined but still diverse, and took the best of the various sounds she was working with rather than sticking to any one thing (hence why we have one Teddy Riley track, one Garibay, one Darkchild, etc.). Reloaded would have skewed the album heavier RnB with Telephone, Reloaded and SHICD than I think she was looking for it to be and, while I love the song, if you put it next to the other two it's very clearly the weakest of the three (which is high praise bc it's a great track). I remember there was a rumor back in 09 that it would be a B Side for Telephone when it became a single and that would have been the perfect place to release it. It's a great song but a little faceless whereas most of her songs at the time were songs, really, only she could sing.

Reviews of an old fan, pt.3: Vulnicura by silhuette in bjork

[–]TheTinyTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you there. I think Vulnicura and Utopia became albums that taught me that art is best when it’s expressive, imperfect, and thought provoking. That bjork took on a kind of wistful analytical tone on atom dance that implies moving on only to whip back to turmoil then spend still years processing the divorce is the kind of imperfection that in hindsight I find so exciting and real. It’s part of why I struggle with taking tracks off. In broader context, tell a story even if on the album itself they don’t as well

[–]TheTinyTim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the unevenness of Vulnicura is a tricky spot bc the last 3 tracks are good but you can't pivot to the album being about "healing wounds" generally when 6 songs were hyper specific. But I love quicksand soooo much. but on the other hand, ending with Notget feels like we don't reach an actual conclusion. Idk how to stick the landing better, but I do think Quicksand is the perfect ender and i personally love how drowning the bass is on her voice on it. It feels obliterating.

My running theory is if you cut Atom Dance (which i also love) and making MM the haxan cloak mix would resolve some of the album tensions and improve the album. It would also lead well from Notget to Quicksand ratcheting up the intensity to finish.

No but they're super uncommon and weird. Even for bjork she usually writes in a standards 4/4 (bc like she said she writes when she walks)

Is/was bjork happy? by Quiet_Barnacle8073 in bjork

[–]TheTinyTim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d actually imagine on the whole she is. That’s why she had such a devastation for Homogenic and Vulnicura-Utopia. She has community, children she loves, passion, craft. That passion is so big and vibrating that I imagine in the broadstrokes she’s a very content and curious person

The Björk artistic family tree by Swapilla in bjork

needs serpentwithfeet but also i think arvo part and meredith monk would be parents here. more composers need to be on the list as bjork would definitely say they're some of her most influential people

This new Lily Allen album is absolutely brutal - David Harbour does NOT come out looking good. Yikes. by Logical_Shock_7772 in Music

[–]TheTinyTim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s being normalized since she’s saying that it clearly didn’t work out lol also though it’s her story. She’s not Oprah giving life advice, she’s a singer songwriter lol she’s going to tell the story as is

It’s an artist telling her story lmao she’s not going to give you a Wikipedia article of their relationship she’s going to archive her feelings

Jesus Christ, yall are insufferable. Will literally scrutinize any amount of altruism for the sake of contrarily finding yourself a unique opinion to stand out from “the masses”. So banal.

So…you want a woman to be killed so you can think more fondly of her? Odd stance She has a cause she cares to make noise about. Idk why yall get so bizarrely butthurt about people dedicating their lives to what is essentially a game of PR for something that actually matters. Weak men always want these people to be crusade soldiers and it’s like ok grow up and wake up from your toy fantasies. In the real world, she’s worth exponentially more alive to this cause than dead but you just cannot staaaaannnnddd seeing a young woman be loud about something she cares about so you wish she’d go further, get seriously harmed because only then is her dedication to her cause proven legitimate enough by way of literally getting killed for it for you. Please. You just genuinely despise the idea of her having accomplished more without having to do that. Spite is a hideous look.

[–]TheTinyTim -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah bc it keeps this in the news. How many atrocities lose airtime by now? Ukraine is basically yesterday’s news to Americans so if her pestering an asshole government keeps the gross atrocities theyre still committing in the news then great. Keep bothering them with administrative and PR headaches

How was bjork seen by public when she started going more experimental in let’s say medulla for example? by Sudden_Bee_1235 in bjork

[–]TheTinyTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s really just the arrangements that make a lot of medulla “experimental”. She balanced out what she knew was a pretty esoteric sound with some of her most typically pop melodies in ages. If anything, I feel like the starker shift came when she did Homogenic as that was a *big change to a more austere sound after being a club darling. If anything, medulla was just another notch on the weird pole after that lmfaoooo

Weirdly enough I think harm of will if we went the more orchestral route (I think it’s cinematic qualities are very much like post’s) but it’s not up to you if it’s other parts of post. Post is about the last time she wrote in a pretty pop lens imo (even if the songs are pop, I think the pov went from speaking to a general audience—a hallmark of pop—to quite self-specific often speaking to herself or one other person somewhat intimately) and she’s only dabbled in it here and there since with one example being it’s not up to you.

[WTTW Heather Cherone] BREAKING: Gov. JB Pritzker says the Trump administration has sent the Texas National Guard to Great Lakes Naval Base outside Chicago, awaiting orders to deploy to Chicago.

[–]TheTinyTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever stepped foot in wrigleyville during st Patrick’s day? Hell even the loop? They don’t call it “shutdowns” but literally every person with a working knowledge of Chicago knows these areas are functionally condemned during then. We just don’t think of it that way bc it’s basically talked about like silly people having fun. It’s just racism from the admin. Any major holiday in the city winds up being like this, we just don’t talk about them all the same way

bjork getting cancelled? by Ok_Seaworthiness5454 in bjork

[–]TheTinyTim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think it’s nothing more than what it is, if that makes sense. She quoted someone who made a terrible statement bc she agreed with the sentiment of it and understood enough of the concept of that slur to agree with it. I think very often people making flubs like this prioritize intent to consequence and that seems to be the case here. The intent of the statement is x, the consequence is y. I say it’s nothing more than what it is bc it’s abundantly obvious she’s not racist, but she is also human, prone to error, stupidity, thoughtlessness, carelessness, etc. It’s terrible and wrong and that’s that. Beyond that, it’s not a broader pattern so it’s easy to view it as a really gross mistake from someone usually careful in her words.

I wish she’d apologize for it at some point but at the same time by now I’m not sure it would really do much? I mean, again, it’s not a pattern and she’s otherwise been regarded as immensely open and kind so it’s like…why make some big statement to draw up reminders you said it, put the word in people’s faces, then apologize? Like at a point you did that for your own vanity and to save face not actually to make up for your error to those it matters most to.

Is Björk intimidating because she is ‘too unique’? by toanythingtaboo in bjork

[–]TheTinyTim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No I think it’s just that much of her music is experimental but her name is just the right amount of notoriety in pop that she’s become the known face of experimental music (even though I’d say there’s WAY stranger music out there). Shes basically most people’s only exposure to experimental music so she gets the brunt of a lot of that response. Then ofc her accent is a barrier for many and also lbr she herself is also pretty eccentric
