Lore SjÃ¶berg's BjÃ¶rk Song is worth a listen. Turns out after a while, it gets pretty hard to find rhymes for "BjÃ¶rk", even if you pronounce it the American way (that is, incorrectly).

She's small and she's odd, like a lepton or quarkOh BjÃ¶rk, oh BjÃ¶rk, oh BjÃ¶rk

Mmmmm BjÃ¶rk & Ice cream together at last, in Bloggy goodness. Not to be confused with a certain Swedish chef, Bork Bork Bork!

Okay. Now I know who Bjork is. Thanks.

Though I’ll bet if it was Mork he saw, BA would have stopped to talk.

Nano nano.

I shared margaritas with BjÃ¶rk and RZA at Dallas BBQ on 8th in Manhattan on a few occasions. Totally awesome people and being a fan of her music since I was young, it was doubly good to boot.

Bjork is good music, but not exactly my taste.

Bjork is awesome, but I gotta stand in defense of purple yam (aka “ube”). I’m sure it’s not for everyone, but it’s no more odd than green tea ice cream.

Now durian on the other hand – by Lapu-Lapu’s kampilan, THERE is a flavor to be shunned.

I ran into BjÃ¶rk in a bookstore in MIlwaukee (Harry W. Schwartz) just after the end of the Sugarcubes. She was looking at the children’s books.

What a wonderful person she was, autographed my Life’s Too Good CD (don’t ask why I had it with me) and gave me a kiss.

I haven’t washed that cheek since.

Hi Phil,
I’ve met her myself – if the woman was under 5 feet, (she only came up to my sternum, in high heels) then it most likely was her, but there are quite a few Icelanders who look exactly like her. BjÃ¶rk (Birch tree) is a common name in Iceland – the GuÃ°mundsdÃ³ttir is not a family name but a patronym derived from her father’s name – a man would be called GuÃ°mundsson. You should have said hello – she is a science fan (Carl Sagan was one of her heros) and would have enjoyed talking to you.

Best,

Mark

Icelandic musician/actress…
I have only seen her in “Dancer in the Dark”, which I think was a good film, though a bit strange. But odd movies are often good ones too.
As far as her music goes, it’s quite different… I dontÂ´t listen to it that much…

I like the idea of a family of ‘Bads’ stopping for icecreams. There’s something about that image that tickles me..

Something fun to do in San Francisco: At the AGU Meeting at Moscone Center in December ’005, I had the opportunity to applaud and challenge Michael Griffin. What we need is leadership: A president willing to say “We choose to go to the Moon,” Eugene Krantz insisting that failure is not an option, or Alan Shepard saying “Let’s get off our asses and light this candle!”
I admire the “Right Stuff” displayed by fellow space explorers, but we should not treat them like “Spam in the can”.
