I'm a big Bjork fan. I love her "Homogenic" album, I think its her best one. I wasn't too crazy about "Vespertine". It did have a lot of odd and cool sounds, like footsteps in snow, but I found it too...well, dry is the word I'd use. It wasn't as fun, explosive as her other work.
I have almost all of her CDs, except for "Debut", but I would be adding that to the list, soon.
I also saw the movie "Dancer in the Dark". I thought she was fantastic in it, and the soundtrack is pretty good, too. ("Scatterheart" is my favorite track on that one)

Anyone see her "Cocoon" video? So beautifully freaky.
Do you mean her "Pagan Poetry" video? 'Cause I haven't seen any video for "Cocoon", but I've pieces of "Pagan", and that one is pretty freaky, with her back getting pierced.
I didn't freak out about her swan dress. But, I didn't understand why she wore it, and it wasn't standard Oscar wear, but I figured, hey, that's Bjork, she dresses like that, that's her style, why not?
And I never had a problem about her name. I mean, it's a Icelandic name, a foreign country, yeah, it would sound a little weird, so what gives?
Perle
P.S. I haven't seen her in concert, either.
But I'd like to.
To anyone who has seen her in concert: what's it like? how does she perform,etc?
