i like there's more to life than this, mostly cause i like how she pronounces "ghetto-blaster" as "jetto-blaster"

Research to determine where it was recorded has led me to this bizarre wikipedia page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bathroom_singing

lol voodoo chili gets it, that bumped it up a few places on my ballot

It's weird, I've listened to the 'Non Toilet Mix' of TMTLTT (one of the Venus as a Boy b-sides) and it sounds totally wrong without that section of the song

Generous Palmstroke was the only b-side on my ballot in the end, what a song though.

it was also released on the Cocoon single

it’s also one of the best björk songs

it fits really nicely as a Cocoon b-side, they're both so delicate and warm

I'm a fan of both versions of "Amphibian," which I can't really say the same for in the case of "All is Full of Love."

eric can i hire you to do images for the kylie poll

"Virus" and "An Echo, A Stain" were both in my top 10.
― nourish nourish your turtleheart (Eric H.), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 17:02 (six years ago) link
xp turns out I did vote for Quicksand

xps I feel like I'm biffing it pretty hard on these image tiles tbh
These are not the Biophilia tracks I voted for

I did put An Echo, A Stain at #7 tho, my second-highest ranked Vespertine track :) amazing song

I can see how one could be very much not a fan of "Virus," but it gives me exactly what I need at that point in the album.

Generally I cringe when I hear poems set to music but Bjork singing e.e. cummings is an exception.

Sun in my mouth is haunting, the vocal line creates everything and she's so in command, she really creates that impression of bursting to life.

As lovely a song as I can imagine with the word "MP3s" in its lyrics, re: "Blissing"
― nourish nourish your turtleheart (Eric H.), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 18:28 (six years ago) link
I didn't vote for any Utopia tracks in the end. Blissing Me was the one I considered going for.

Wow I completely forgot about Amphibian. Would have made my ballot.
― octobeard, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 18:52 (six years ago) link
I voted Sun In My Mouth and Heirloom back to back because I love how she adapts cumming’s imagery in her own subsequent lyric and the transition between the two is one of the most sob-rising-in-your-throat moments on Vespertine, for me.
