The author of the excellent book "The Rest Is Noise" is publishing a new book this month called "Listen To This". Alex has written extensively about Björk and her music, an excellent article in The New Yorker to name one. He says of the book: "It offers a panoramic view of the musical scene, from Bach to Björk and beyond. In the Preface, I say that the aim is to "approach music not as a self-sufficient sphere but as a way of knowing the world." I treat pop music as serious art and classical music as part of the wider culture; my hope is that the book will serve as an introduction to crucial figures and ideas in classical music, and also give an alternative perspective on modern pop." This is probably the "must" read of the autumn. Highly recommended. Alex's website is therestisnoise and to this book specifically is here. |

A memorial service was held at St Paul's Cathedral in London during the London Fashion Week, to commemorate the life of fashion designer Alexander McQueen after his passing seven months ago. Björk was there, and she sang Gloomy Sunday, in an arrangement by Jónas Sen. |

Björk is in Sweden for the Polar Prize ceremony which takes place tomorrow, where she will be receiving One Million swedish Kronor from the hand of the His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf himself. She will also be celebrated and serenaded by some of Swedens finest singers - Robyn, we've heard, will sing Hyperballad, Wildbirds & Peacedrums hinted that they will perform Human Behaviour, and we don't yet know what Ane Brun and Barbara Hendricks will sing, but we do know it will be broadcast live on Swedish TV4 and later available via TV4 Play. Today Björk is taking part of Polar Music Talks, where the awardeed are interviewed onstage, and the other day she was interviewed for Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet. That interview is in Swedish, but the interviewer Kristin Lundell was so gracious as to share with us the interview in english for our international fans - this can be found in the forum. |
