does anyone else have the problem where this video thinks it's starring in inception and so instead of having one screen it has a screen within a screen within a screen?
I remember this performance and (especially) interview, VIVIDLY. I had just gotten into alternative music, and girls, and Conan's show was super-new and fresh, and I remember Bjork's eyebrows and conspicuous lack of a bra and how great the performance was and how charming Bjork was and how fundamentally sweet and earnest Conan was, and I can honestly say this clip changed my whole life. There is nothing on tv right now as sweet and honest and important as this performance and interview.
Talvin Singh, Guy Sigsworth, Leila Arab, Dan Lipman, what an amazing band! Don't know the drummer or bassist's names though. Wish I could've seen her live in the Debut days...
@ShayaNova i was just thinking the same thing. yet, it kind of feels like yesterday. i remember i had to work the night this was on and one of my co-workers had the night off and video taped it. he came to work talking about how cute bjork was and let me borrow the tape so i could watch it. remember it so clearly, like it was only a few months ago, yet, like you said, it was so long ago. almost 20 years. we ARE getting old.
I don't know why everybody's bitching about Conan. I thought he did ok for the little time he had. He's obviously better now but I didn't hear him ask or say something really stupid or uncomfortable like Leno or Letterman would.
hold on....she said her dad was an electrician....i thought he was a politician...? lol i heared he was famous before she was as well.....for politics
@Yngelel I'm pretty sure Conan pronounced it correctly because Bjork wants her name to be heard properly, or as properly as it can be. He doesn't speak Icelandic but if Bjork says her name rhymes with "jerk" then he IS pronouncing it correctly.
@TheJonesdude same I live in Wrexham how abouts u? u?
