Björk, On How TVs Work
Though not as hilarious as Audrina learning about the Large Hadron Collider, but adorable for a different reason, this video of Björk demonstrating what goes on inside the guts of a television is my new favorite YouTube video.
Listen to her (I could listen to her explain just about anything in that Icelandic accent) tell you what she learned from her Danish television book, and of course, the lies she endured from poets. Trust me: it makes sense after you watch the video.

Is It Hard to Get Into Music That's Not in Your Own Language?
I'm a fan of the Icelandic band Sigur Rós, and have especially enjoyed their newest album, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust. But as much as I like them, they don't tend to get as much iPod love from me as other artists do, and I think it might be because I don't understand the lyrics to a lot of their songs (did you know the Icelandic language is a North Germanic language descended from Old Norse? I love Wikipedia).
Björk Gets Wired With Wanderlust in 3-D
Wired got the 3-D premiere of Björk's new video for "Wanderlust," directed by geek impresarios Encyclopedia Pictura. I love that this premiere is a Wired.com event rather than say, an MTV.com event. Seeing the video, you'll understand why — those 3D glasses are necessary!
Pop Reports: Bjork At The Hammersmith Apollo
I had a busy evening yesterday – not only did I watch the Skins series finale, but I also ventured out to Hammersmith Apollo to see the amazing Bjork play live.
It was a magical gig, full of crazy outfits, gorgeous songs, lasers, confetti and an all women brass band she called "The Wonder Brass" - nice! The show was spectacular, with each song changing the pace and vibe of the gig to a degree I'd never felt before.

Give the Lady What She Wants!
Our magical fairy queen Björk deserves anything she wants and then some. So if "brown M&Ms must be sacrificed to Magda, nymph-bride of the World Tree," then so be it.
