I've been listening to this album infrequently since it's release. Most of it is meh, to me, pretty weak compared to most of her other work, but I keep returning because I dig the first track, Secret Place a whole bunch. It's a killer. But today, it just came alive for me, the whole album and really blew me away. How did that happen? Has anyone ever experienced this type of effect? It's not uncommon for an album to take a couple of listens to fully appreciate, but it's never taken 4 years before.

Yeah, I don't know about four years, although there were a few albums that I heard a few years ago and didn't think much of only to listen to them again to find that they're quite good. Is that what you mean?
I've recently been enjoying Weezer's "Pinkerton" and the Killer's "Hot Fuss" which I thought was derivative crap when I first heard it and now I think it's derivative FUN!
Also, I am in constant fear of breaking my laptop's keyboard because the keys on it are both slightly too far apart and have too much travel downwards, so it's easy to get a finger caught *under* a key, thus increasing the chance of snapping it straight off. I figured I'd get used to it but no, it's just poor design, not my newness to it.
Damn.

I really need to get all of Bjork's albums posthaste. If someone wants to do an album swap, that would be rad. Just let me know. I'll print out my iTunes library (yes, and I pronounce it "liberry" and there's nothing you can do to stop me, motherfuckers) and post its text on my blog or something.
A friend of mine burned me a disc of Bjork's greatest hits. I am absoutely addicted to "Secret Place", "Bachelorette", "Joga," and "Hyperballad". Man, I love Bjork so much. I always like to sing Lore Fitzgerald Sjoberg's song about Bjork.
Oh, Bjork, Bjork,
Were you brought by the stork?
Or were you created from butter and cork?
I love you so much that I act like a dork
Oh, Bjork, Bjork, oh Bjork!

I actually have that song. I think it was part of his Napster contest wherein the goal was to get his mp3 onto every harddrive on the planet.
-
Okay, I'm still trying to figure this out. http://Somebody nice.typepad.com/Somebody nice_music.xml
Let's see if that works.
-
I have all of Bjork's albums in good quality mp3s, and can post them for you if you'd like JUST LIKE THE OLD TIMES.
-
I occasionally get the feeling like I'm supposed to give Bjork a chance, but I've never gotten into any of her stuff. Haven't really heard anything by her in a good many years though either.
I think I'm scared that I might have to get more...

jough, you rock so hard. That would be awesome.
Also, thanks to you, I now rip everything to the highest bitrate I possibly can. I am trying to post my library (http://Somebody nice.typepad.com/Somebody nice_music.xml), but I'm not sure how much of my stuff you are going to want. I know that you hate country, and I am very much into alt-country, bluegrass, and Americana. Anyway, I have really gotten into Wilco, Son Volt, Uncle Tupelo, and other projects involving Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy.
-
Actually, looking at your XML file it looks like you pretty much have all of her studio albums but the latest one.
However, I will post them all in their entirety and you can grab what you want.
Since I have like, 800mb of Bjork, it may take a while to upload. I'll PM you with an address once it's uploaded.
And I'm sure that I have all of the music I need, but if you had any copies of say, albums by "The Sonics" I wouldn't say no.
-
Heya Jough,
Well, I have a few tracks that a friend burned onto a CD. I have one or two tracks from "Post," "Vespertine," and some others, but I don't have the entire albums or anything like that.
You rock. Much <3.
-
I have a few rare Bjork things. You probably have them, but I will check anyways, Do you have the big collection of her live stuff or the collection of b-sides? Do you have Gling Glo or her weird child pop star album from the 70s? I'd be happy to fill in any gaps. Also I have a so so copy of her Triumph of the Heart video which is a must see if you like dancing cats (or rather a person shaking a cat to give the illusion of dancing).
-
I don't have the childhood stuff, no, but I have the other boxed set, live stuff, etc., plus Gling-Glo and a few singles.
I'm not a huge Bjork fan, but sometime last year I just decided to get all of her albums and be done with it. Better to have Bjork and not need her than need her and not have her.

helmet's cover of "Army of me" is to die for.

Is this kind of like the Freak Bro's. creedo?

-
I... I don't know who they are.

You've never heard of undergound comic poineer Gilbert Shelton's Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers? I'd google it for you, but it's probably blocked here at work.
Their creedo is:
"Weed will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no weed."
