i HATE people who hold their phones vertically for video. you should have your iphone smashed.

@zippyzee - yes, I don't have the professional equipment. I'm a reviewer - I wasn't there to film or take photographs. Two heads in the video looks just as bad as filming vertically, so I went with what I personally preferred. If you are professional press, like you said you are below, then making comments on other "press" videos about smashing iPhones isn't exactly 'professional' either. The description fits what this video is, it's just not filmed in the way you'd prefer.

I wish the person taking the video had the sense to turn their camera horizontally...

@roboshuffle Would've been two massive heads in the way still if i did that

Thanks for sharing this video, I had no idea such a clever device was being used, she is so creative! I really want to see this live.

Also don't feed the trolls, they can go out and take their own videos.

@roboshuffle Maybe next time you should film it yourself, naysayer. It's amazing what people find to whine about these days.

The 'real'Power synth ; ) nice

[zippyzee]

@akadapper i'm a "fucking nobody"? don't let anger and contempt cloud your mind. you don't know me, sir. in a figurative way i actually am "press". i'm in radio / television where we use professional grade equipment, not iphones. who goes to a bjork press conference and records it with an iphone? an unprofessional, thats who. nerts to you, sir.

[akadapper]

@zippyzee I'm dumb, yet you're the one who completely missed the obvious point. You wouldn't have gotten in the press conference and laughed at if you tried BECAUSE you're not press, you're a fucking nobody, hence why your opinion doesn't matter in the slightest. "Inevitable" you'd watch? Whether you came to watch the video or not is irrelevant, but comment on "HATE" for a vertical video is OTT and pathetic, as is the iPhone smash comment. You may think I'm dumb, but I know you're just a prick.

[zippyzee]

@akadapper gone to the press conference and filmed it myself? well, if i were press, knew about the event and was in the vicinity i would have. see how dumb your first line is? i would have got laughed at if i turned up? do people just randomly laugh at other people for no reason? see how dumb your second line is? nobody is making me watch, true, but the description of the video brought me here, making it inevitable that i'd watch it. see how dumb your third line is? i think you're just dumb...

[akadapper]

@zippyzee Maybe you should have gone to the press conference and filmed it yourself. Oh wait, you're just some fucking nobody on Youtube who would have got laughed at if you turned up. Nobody is making you watch.

no matter how may times i watch this, it continues to amaze me, having that organ in the background really complements the soud as well.
