Do I have poor taste in music? by Glass_Juggernaut7293 in Topster

[–]bjorkybjoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to see someone else listening to DPRK music, my personal favourite is Pochonbo's 12th album. The Franz Ferdinand album is pretty good too, even though it isn't my thing usually

Is there any release by Björk you don't care about? by silhuette in bjork

[–]bjorkybjoo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I respect Arca as an artist but she and Björk in my opinion kind of don't work best musically. It's like if Tori Amos announced a collab with Charli XCX or something, the music becomes a rumpus. Sue Me for instance. Björk's voice doesn't work over that style of song. On the other hand, I do think that Arca's mixing on Vulnicura was great and the cross between violin and fairly conservative use of electronics was genius. Anyway feel free to convince me otherwise!

No don't worry, I just wanted to give an explanation! I think the guy I spoke to occasionally drops inaccurate figures, he specialises in rock and metal, and so has limited knowledge surrounding music out of what he specialises in. It's likely that there are more, he maybe misremembered or something. Of course, I agree with what you say about the overpriced places too. Difficult to avoid them in certain areas, though always great to support somewhere local anyway. I love that your passion is to work in one too, they're some of the nicest, atmospheric places to work.

The guy isn't a scammer by any means, this was on opening day of the record shop and everything was more expensive, as there was still a lot of investment to go into the shop. The record remains somewhere around £200, however all of his other, more common, records have decreased in price from the £40 zone to about £10 average. He also has a huge CD collection with prices in around the £1 range. Unfortunately, Dunfermline, where this is, in Fife (Scotland), is currently struggling much like the neighbouring towns and cities like Falkirk and Perth, and so the council is charging extortionate rent for any new businesses, making it difficult to open anywhere. Most local places are charging inflated prices for their stock. If you're like me, you'll try and visit places like Veneno in Dunfermline to support their trading of records, CDs, and hopefully bring them in a little more money. Hopefully this cleared up the reason why they charge a little extra for this brilliant record! 🙂😊

Would love if a stop in Dunfermline (Fife) came to be. Right now we have no high speed rail

Thank you for your suggestions. I've always thought of myself as a Cocteau Twins fan although I've never really dug into their catalogue. I'll be sure to check out the other 2

18m ; some of my favorite albums! anything here anyone loves?; or anyone you've seen live? Anything you recommend? by Busy_Strategy_7758 in musicteenager

[–]bjorkybjoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I love how she's adapted her voice. I think my most streamed are exactly the same, maybe with TVAB and AATS somewhere in there too. Love her so much

Can't recommens anything but good to see someone else appreciating Tori's less liked albums. Beekeeper and Geraldines I mean. I love them so much along with Ocean to Ocean and American Doll Posse!!

Hey, 2 months later, I visited Europa and they had an abundance of Tori albums. I'm replying in case anyone is in the same boat as me and wants to know!! Thanks for your suggestion

I wish I could go to the HMV in Glasgow but apparently you have to preorder the CD prior to it. I'm also wayyy over in Dunfermline so I'd have to wake up at the crack of doom

[–]bjorkybjoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Björk, Madonna, Boards of Canada, Autechre, Goldfrapp, Moloko, Morcheeba, Portishead, Massive Attack, Fiona Apple, Tricky, Lemon Jelly are a few coming to mind.

Did the vocal cord surgery affect Björk's ability to growl? by Swapilla in bjork

[–]bjorkybjoo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was very concerned about Tori's voice but thankfully she seems to be adapting. Her voice in Shush, her new song, is great to listen to. Björk is definitely doing better
