lol voodoo chili gets it, that bumped it up a few places on my ballot
― sciatica, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 15:45 (eight years ago)
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.

i don't think i've ever heard amphibian

never heard it either

it plays during the closing credits of Being John Malkovich
― 808s & Deep States (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 16:00 (eight years ago)
it was also released on the Cocoon single
― ufo, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 16:00 (eight years ago)
it’s also one of the best björk songs
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 16:02 (eight years ago)
well yeah
― 808s & Deep States (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 16:04 (eight years ago)
it fits really nicely as a Cocoon b-side, they're both so delicate and warm
― 808s & Deep States (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 16:05 (eight years ago)
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."

dumb q since i could google it, but does Bjork have a comprehensive b-sides compilation?

no and she really needs one

my first, too, although I almost ended up voting for Quicksand and An Echo, A Stain
each image is a work of art!

eric can i hire you to do images for the kylie poll
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 17:01 (eight years ago)
"Virus" and "An Echo, A Stain" were both in my top 10.
― nourish nourish your turtleheart (Eric H.), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 17:02 (eight years ago)
xp turns out I did vote for Quicksand
― Dan S, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 17:02 (eight years ago)
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
― nevertheless, he stopped (flamboyant goon tie included), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 17:31 (eight years ago)
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.

re: Sun in My Mouth......and it's such a beautiful complex vocal line..
― Dan S, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 18:25 (eight years ago)
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 (eight years ago)
I didn't vote for any Utopia tracks in the end. Blissing Me was the one I considered going for.
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 18:36 (eight years ago)
Wow I completely forgot about Amphibian. Would have made my ballot.
― octobeard, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 18:52 (eight years ago)
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.

I love "I've Seen It All" full stop, but prefer the Thom Yorke version over the Peter Stormare film version. Their voices just sound so goddamn beautiful together.
― !Alicia!, Tuesday, 8 May 2018 20:31 (eight years ago)
There's a sizeable bloc among Bjork fandom that just has no time for "Violently Happy," misguidedly.
― nourish nourish your turtleheart (Eric H.), Tuesday, 8 May 2018 20:35 (eight years ago)
I love 95% of Bjork, but also don't care for Violently Happy, sorry, please don't fp me, just find it a bit bland and don't like the bit about ecstatic music
