Flood of Thoughts Sent by an Icelandic Artist

Watching Björk’s Volta Tour concert report on TV, these things crossed my mind:

(1)
She actually held a concert in Jakarta? I wonder if Radiohead would ever hold a concert in Indonesia. But it seems impossible because they’re like the kind of guys who wouldn’t perform, and getting paid for it of course, in underdeveloped countries. And they’re not into the world-tour-for-a-whole-year mode anymore like they were in the old days.

(2)
Ah, she reminded me of my junior high years. Coming home from school, raining pouring out outside, and watching (and listening to) Björk’s Army of Me on MTV. MTV was much better then; you got to see more videos from various musical genres. Nowadays, they only had R ‘n B and hip-hop and that kind of stuff. It’s boring.

(3)
It bothers me that that dangdut singer came to watch the concert while she didn’t seem like sincerely enjoying Björk’s music. If she thought that Björk’s music was a jumble of incomprehensible sounds, she shouldn’t bother coming in the first place. It’s an insult to all Björk’s fans in Indonesia who didn’t have the chance to come to the concert.

Notes: Useless rant. Please ignore.
