Björk on what she is listening to

[serilark]

hehe she likes santogold and m.i.a.!

she is so fucking wonderful :)

[bjorkismyhomie]

this was on a 2007 episode of "subterranean" before mtv foolishly decided to get rid of the show without any warning. just another way of snuffing out any chance of anyone hearing new good music on television.

[asdffdsa9]

Check out Fever Ray fellas! It's Knife's new band, and it ROCKS!

[HakoTheMonkey]

Santogold!

[replattus]

I don't it's the Battle she's talking about, but the band Battles and their album Mirrored isn't it?

[DelMonteOnSteroids]

@replattus Yeah, it's a genre called Math Rock. Strange, fantastic music. Since, they've come out with another album that has more acclaim. Wow, I'm surprised Björk even knows about them, let alone loves them. Actually, I'm not surprised, that music is weird as fuck.

[oxfordye]

YEAH! The Knife!

[s0erd]

I gathered ???, The Battle, M.I.A., The Knife, Arvo Pärt, John Cage, Animal Collective. :)

[takman678]

@s0erd "singer called, Santogold" the battle, mia, blah blah

[joshuapickenpaugh]

I wish there where more instances in the world today where the MTV logo follows someone saying they listen to Part and Cage. Just sayin'.

[PNWUnderground]

John Cage huh? That shouldn't surprise me.... he's pretty bizarre.

[maljamin]

Battles not The Battle. Also she sez Arvo Parrrrrrrrrrrt because Icelandics really like to play with those trills apparently.

[Asger1703]

Woah, woah, easy on those r's!

[Mum2Boys]

Oh. My. God.

She has the same taste as me!

[iBeFaNgUrLiN101]

i luv her voice so much <3

[purplecalix]

Fuck the USA fuck Israel & fuck you. We said DESTROY!!

[BlueBerryWizard]

Iceland is purest and most homogenous white society left on this planet.

It was founded by Viking men who took Gaelic wives with them (Nordic/Celtric crossing).

The isolation and challenging environment has refined them into superior beings.

It'll be so sad if they lax the immigration policies and let their people and culture die out as a result, just like most other European nations are doing.

Ireland is now Nigeria. FeelsBadMan.

[cosmiclazy]

@BlueBerryWizard please just shut the fuck up....what is it that patriot comment,...superior beings??? i hope my sun never reads your stupid comment....one world...one flag...the future is made out of the simple fact that humans love each other and therfor mix with eachother....

[Chacha5678]

@BlueBerryWizard Nigerians are 0.003% of Ireland. Good one, mate. Everyone has the right to live wherever the fuck they want. Get used to it.

[BlueBerryWizard]

@Chacha5678 Occupy Israel! Let's flood them with 50 million new immigrants and blend the jews out of existence. Everyone has a right to live wherever they want? Ok, I'll live in your house. You have no right to tell me not to live there. Get used to it.

[rickmorgan1980]

@BlueBerryWizard Laughable. As if your little weak ass can even drag itself out of your house, never mind go to Ireland. You've never been, you wouldn't know what your talking about, but you rant on anyway. Ireland is now Nigeria lol, silly little boy. Your modern history isn't going to well either. Idolising Iceland? Lovely country, but if they're the master race, then the master race is reeeeeealy bad at economics. You really should learn what you rant about Nick.

[LLLeeeeeeeee]

@BlueBerryWizard You disgust me.

[BlueBerryWizard]

@LLLeeeeeeeee Your suicidal tendencies as a culture is pathetic. Enjoy the African Experience - constant violence, AIDS, rape, looting, cannibalism, and societal breakdown.

[oeoroe]

Lol 0:34~

[lovemechekitten]

I heard santogold? c:

[waitwaitokgo]

Battles!

[didaktus90]

sounds like finnish person speaking english

[quillber]

bjork listening to animal collective. that is some serious brain matter at work.

[ElleLarissa]

Santogold!!! she likes Santogold!

[tabularasaconfirmed]

She sounds like Soko. Speaking voice, I mean.

[Daan892]

She's very soft-spoken, despite the fact that her singing style is quite aggressive and she has attacked a foreign reporter and a foreign photographer, both on foreign countries.

[SeanAbesto]

@Daan892 I was only aware of that once incident where she attacked the reporter for harassing her or saying something about her, I think... Despite that, she's quite adorable : ) She has a very small stature and cute face. You wouldn't think it though, hearing songs like Pluto and Declare Independence. Like you said, she has an aggressive style to her singing~

[Daan892]

@SeanAbesto Moral lesson: even though that person is cute, adorable and soft-spoken, that doesn't mean you can mess with him/her.

Like they said: Still Water Runs Deep

[juanbjork]

I like santagold. M. I. A. And fever ray tooooo

[marcosEstrello]

Did she just santogold? neat

[darkice1123]

0:33 <3

[NeonFoxLetsPlays]

w00t, she likes The Knife and Battles too!

it'd be great though if there was some way that she and Karin Andersson from the KNife could collaborate.

[yuruka96]

omfg

arvo pärrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt

[Lilyfloss]

M.I.A? Wow, i love M.I.A!

[KaxxxE]

0:33 I'm addicted

[KaxxxE]

awww she so cute

[salmonelas123]

arvo parrrrrrrrrrrt

[LeonkaStar]

I fucking love the accent! <3

[DavidCastoe]

MIA is awesome 

[curseof95]

ahhneemal collecktive

[ACustomConcern]

I love that Bjork listens to what her fans listen to. It's not like listening to Radiohead and pretending you could keep up with Thom Yorke or Jonny Greenwood. Bjork knows what's up.

[sarkastiskkorpklo]

Icelandic accents are SO FUCKING ADORABLE!

[vatnojokull]

Also she likes beyonce,she was dacing to beyonce in a party

[ANDREASDEUTSCH]

Her´s voice is so lovely!

[Sophistaphunk]

I literally love all of those artists. She have great taste... great minds think alike.

[xwexarexbulletsx]

Her rrrrsss are errrrrrrrrrrrotic :D

[bnmyuiop]

Battles' new album came out last month. It's even better than Mirrored IMO.

[slayerfreak121]

It's not surprising that Bjork has damn good taste in music.

[Vincevamp1]

She likes Santigold, MIA, and the Knife. Gah. Those three and her are my favorite music makers in the worlddd.

[jennabennabby]

her accent is really strong here

[mazshioXD]

M.I.A the band or the girl?

[gobii81]

What a hipster. xD xD xD

[MCMBPR]

YAY at M.I.A.! My two (Björk and M.I.A.) favourite solo female singers. Quite simply.

[weirdtard2]

The Knife! Wooop woop!!

[inlovewithbass]

@weirdtard2 fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[4metulips]

bjork is cool. she seems like shed listen to animal collective.

[speakerphone94]

we have such similar taste :')

[guitarplayer4747]

animal collective!!



[955pokerface]

'Arrrrrrrvvo Parrrrrrrrrrrsts"

i know its 'arvo part' but she made an 's' sound

sometime her icelandic accent is very strong,and at other times its more british

[Kohrote]

@955pokerface I think I know how she feels! It is sort of, if you learn English, you always learn the British pronunciation first. But it is very difficult to switch from one language to the other. If you speak another language for a day, or read a book in another language, sometimes you get tongue-tied and speak in your native sounds. Especially when you are shy! :3

[inachu]

her voice is quite odd but sounds normal when she sings.... lol

[LemoParamore]

I wish I could rrrrrrrrrrrr like she does

[TheHalloweenHead]

Omgomgomg she likes the knife

AHHHH <333

[semlacka]

i'm pretty sure she can speak English properly ...

[Kohrote]

I love her 'r's soooo much! :D I am Belgium, so I know that it is hard not to roll 'r's

[BeNiceYall]

I could listen to her all day, shes Awesome!

[kristineurie44]

the thumbnail made her look like Snape. Angry Snape.

[ILuvBritLouTayTay]

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only girl who has a crush on Bjork, no?

<3

haha she reminds me of a big cat! ^___^ "Arrrrrrrrrrvo parrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt"

[TheHalloweenHead]

@ILuvBritLouTayTay Oh trust me, I do too <3333

[ILuvBritLouTayTay]

@TheHalloweenHead ^__^ shes soo.... eeeeeee! gahh haha shes so cute!

[skateNappreciate]

icelandic = cat language

[ILuvBritLouTayTay]

@skateNappreciate hahathats true lol :)

[DarkwaveDuck]

i love M.I.A

[mgrealdeals]

I've started a fund ...its called: SEND BJORK BACK TO ICELAND,....FOR GOOD..

will supply her with crayons and a helmet.

[Sinned21389]

<3 The knife <3 Santigold <3 MIA my favorite talking about my other favorites

[hcomyt]

Arrrrvo PäRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT :3

[Musicxpert]

Björk and Arvo Pärt. How beautiful music can be.

[jerzy862]

SHES SO GODDAMN ADORABLE

[Krajlsamrels]

M.I.A and Santo(i)gold in there too.

[mowibe]

the knife :)

[poeticjournalism]

I can listen to her talk all day. I want her to audiobook versions of my entire reading collection haha

[omggoodnessr]

@poeticjournalism ROFL--HaRRy PotteR and the ChaymbeR of SecRRRets. :P Love her!

[ohcristina]

she also says Animal Collective

[jokinggerman]

Yes! She likes The Knife!

[sergioh91]

@skolam Arvo Pärt and John Cage

[CrazyAnimatorOfDoom]

Animal Collective ftw

[helloitsandrew]

BATTLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Antalarion]

Oh I also love Arvo Pärrrrrrrt

[multitrouble13]

Arvo Pärrrrrrrrt

[quittersremedy]

She's so fucking awesome.

[LambadLambadLambda]

:34 Ok, is Bjork really just weird, or is she doing this to get attention?

[sneekz07]

@LambadLambadLambda Erm no, she has rolled her R's since a child. She was just trying to think.

[LambadLambadLambda]

@sneekz07

Her eyes rolled into the back of her head, started moving back and forth! It was neurotic!

[sneekz07]

@LambadLambadLambda She ddin't move back and forth. She lifted her legs from a crossed position to an uncrossed position. Big deal.

I have rolled my eyes and rocked when I am trying to think. Pretty sure I have no mental disorders.

[Discoverybayisgreat]

She says:

- Santogold

- The Battles - Mirrored

- MIA

- Knife

- Arvo Pärt

- John Cage

- Animal Collective

;)

[eetherealflux]

@Discoverybayisgreat no aphex twin!! noooo the end of the world!!

[ECST4C]

@Discoverybayisgreat its actually "battles" not "the battles"

[ECST4C]

@Discoverybayisgreat its actually "battles" not "the battles"

[ECST4C]

and also "the knife" not "knife"

[MageAtYou]

@Discoverybayisgreat Damn thought she would have a way way more eclectic and different taste. :S

[looppool]

I can't understand the first artist she mentions. Can anyone tell me who that is?

Almost everytime I've read that Bjork is listening to someone I find I get turned onto really good new stuff. She has exquisite taste.

[idontsufferofmadness]

@looppool she mentions santigold (formally santogold) then m.i.a. others are the knife and animal collective.

[dashugo]

Björk is God! I adore her!

[grendizer]

she listen to santogold and MIA..cool

[thetwentyfourth]

"Battles", not "The Battle". The album is called Mirrored, the single she's talking about is probably Atlas, possibly Tonto.

[KamiKaZantA]

Wow, I never really heard icelandic accent. Awesome!

[anicetc]

Arvo Pärrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rts

[dashugo]

@anicetc john caaageeeeee LOL

[plackonteeth]

can i pleese have your sweatshirt?

[bibimbabb]

she sounds like Soko

[Uzzie101]

She makes good music but I wouldn't like to know her personally, she seems a tad bit pretentious.

[ULTRAQQX]

@Uzzie101 Really? I've felt exactly the opposite - I'd like to get to know her personality in depth, her philosophy, her values, etc. as I feel like there's something there! I've always thought of her as being genuine, expressing what's inside of her, no matter what it could be and no matter what people think, being true to herself as oppossed to conforming to current trends, the people, etc. But that's me.. if I could really talk to her I'd either find what I was hoping or get dissapointed.

[Uzzie101]

@ULTRAQQX Nah, I think she's over-indulged herself in art. I love most forms of art, and being unique, but you need to stay in touch with reality too.

[thetwentyfourth]

@Uzzie101 I couldn't disagree more strongly. Your whole life can be art and at the same time you can have your feet firmly planted on the ground. To make some a claim that she is over-indulgent and has lost touch with reality is baseless and ignorant. Spent any time with her personally? All we see of her life is what she puts out artistically and what the media portrays. You and I know next to nothing about how she lives her life, what kind of mother she is to her children, etc etc.

[Uzzie101]

@thetwentyfourth What a wierd reply.You defend her as if you ARE her,and yet I didn't insult her,I merely said she's pretentious,which she is.

And I disagree,your "whole life" cannot be art and still have your feet firmly on the ground. Who/Can use(s) art in every acpect of their life? Boring,pretentious people. Sometimes it's more important to just muck about,have a laugh,be thoughtless and carefree.I'm not saying that's how Bjork is or lives, I'm just saying she SEEMS that way.I may be wrong.

[thetwentyfourth]

@Uzzie101 I can't see how stating plainly that she is pretentious is not judgmental or insulting. Anyway, we clearly see things from a slightly different angle, and that's cool with me.

[Uzzie101]

@thetwentyfourth Pretention is not necessarly insulting. A bit of it never hurt anyone. Anyway, yeah, this little debate will bring us no where :P

[Artillory1]

@Uzzie101 No you don't.

[gfnfx]

wuhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu m.i.a.

[AsellusPrimus]

OMG SHE LIKES MIA TOO? YESSSSSS

[MRsikrim]

BJORK IS SO FREAKIN GORGEOUS!!!

[fatvirginonvalium]

santigold

[KURISUCHRIS99]

"i think its called Mirrrrorrrrrsss"

lol i love her

[moonunderwater]

animal collective, that's what i'm talking about. bjork is so chill=)

[blackgenet]

arvo part and battles... amazing musicians

[cinemats]

What? She is talking like a European in this interview and like an English woman in the next?

[sneekz07]

@cinemats It depends where she spends her time. Of course when she was younger,she spent almost all her time in London,so she had the cockney thing going on. Now she splits her time between Iceland and New York. She goes Iceland about once a month so yeah, her accent will fluctuate alot. Does it even matter?

[cinemats]

@sneekz07 Thanks for the reply. Really good reason. No, it does not. I find it cute actually. She is so unpredictable. And I like that.

[sneekz07]

@cinemats Okay cool :)

[Kohrote]

@cinemats Learn another language, it will all make sense! ;)

[inbina93]

she likes Animal Collective <3

[gutterculture]

when bJORK RRRRRolls her R'sssss she sounds like a purring kittyCat

[Espumona]

@gutterculture agreeeeeeeee

[iplaybikes]

she didnt say "the battles" she just said "battles"....the album is called "Mirrored" and its great.

[KenElizabeth1824]

I fucking love this woman!

[sneekz07]

0:46 seconds of heaven

[andr0zz]

The knife! My favorite artist!

If you are not familiar with the knife but like bjork, check them out. They are similar artists in a way. Fever Ray (the female vocalist from the knife) is amazing too.

[jimmythehyena]

listen to ricardo lopez, he is your true love

[RIOSBEAUTY]

I love Arvo Part as well. Beautiful sounds come from his notes~!

[YvesIsaki]

She's so in the know. I like her speaking voice, it too is melodic.

[CanGamers]

Bjork...likes....fucking...Bat­tles. That is so badass. Battles is an amazing math-rock band.

[Stenheart]

ahhw Vocal Heaven!!!! I love you Björk!!!

[blUdz18]

OMG... That 46 seconds was vocal heaven! Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[liamtgallagher]

"Arrrrrrrrrrrvo Parrrrrrrrrrt" just made my day.

[ulrichinsummer]

@liamtgallagher that's *awesome*. i've listened to that about 20 times... what a riot. rolling an R is so easy but hers have such a light patter to them. wonderful!

[Heidi19689]

@liamtgallagher Yes, I totally agree!

[Mesqualito]

@liamtgallagher same here- especially since Arvo Part is one of my favorites too ;)

take care!

[shit311]

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[evilpeaches7]

Bjork likes John Cage? She just got more awesome!

[h4rl3msh4k3r]

Woot! Animal collective:}! <3

[ikillhippies]

she sounds a bit like zizek without the lisp

[brie3102]

One of the artists she mentions is Santogold

[valehathar]

listen to slayer & shut up u fuckin' cunt!

[carterwelker]

Misser Superman no home

[TheDivineAberration]

The battle? they're called battles just so you know

[frothrjunk]

@TheDivineAberration she doesn't say the battle she said "i like that battles single a lot"

[TheDivineAberration]

@frothrjunk no i didnt mean her, i meant the person who uploaded this video put in the description "she likes the knife, animal collective and The battle"

not getting at bjork i love her :D

[JasonRadley]

She also likes the colours purple and orange.

[MCshlthead]

damn shes hot

[ThomComputer]

pppttttttttttttttttttttttt

some woman

[BritishBeliever]

she looks like an alien ^_^

[exrkun91]

Don't you just love John Cage? I do. He admits to not having an ear for music, but I think his ear is more developed than a lot of the "musically talented".

[Dudeman612]

The way she rolls her "R's" is beautiful!

[amatoanima]

@Dudeman612

She's purrrrring : D

[johnnyhandshake]

haha she likes AC! and battles! yesss

[brdar1720]

BTW. she also like SND and Mika Vaino. check this out if you don't believe me. Yup.

[brdar1720]

Arvo Parti, John Cage & Animal Collective. outstanding solid end of lis!!! LOVE HER SO MUCH...
