Bjork is cool. And an underrated actress.

I’m okay with that.


As far as Bjork’s acting goes, I’m still too traumatized by the film to have a useful opinion about it.

Meh. I like most of DM’s hits but I’ve always found their albums to be full of fillers.

And… to be honest I didn’t do too much research as I was happy with that image.

Edit : I did a bit of research and I would consider In Utero… but it would ruin that image

Saddest film ever.

I saw her in the Northman. A Viking version of Hamlet. It wasn’t very good.

If you lived in the United States in 1993, the last three months of the year were all about Pearl Jam and their 2nd album VS. . 5 million copies sold in just those three months including 1 million copies in the first 6 days of release.

Pearl Jam's VS. and Nirvana's In Utero were released two weeks apart from each other with Nirvana's In Utero going first on September 21, 1993, while Pearl Jam's VS. was released on October 5, 1993. Most in the music industry believed music sales for each in the first week would be similar, but the results were very different. In Utero only sold 180,000 copies in its first week, while VS. sold 1 million copies in its first week. This was a shock for many, and showed that Pearl Jam was now the leader of the Grunge movement, the position many had assigned to Nirvana back in 1991/1992.

I like Ten Summoner’s Tale but it sounds like Sting missed the train. It was far off from everything that was done at the time (which, of course, can be a quality on its own).

I considered Rid of Me but I find it very inconsistent. Perfect intro, though.

Of course, that is all highly subjective.
