That ought to spark her interest, and then mention this really nice vegan sushi fusion joint you know off Camden street that has the most heavenly bubble tea, and how you love going there because the door guy keeps the annoying groupies out.

Once there, you're of course going to want to move up from bubble tea to saki as quickly as you can, and don't forget a little vitamin X. Don't stop talking about how you prefer to make millions without ever having your face in the forefront and are just looking for the perfect diva to soak up all of the recognition you prefer to live without.

It all comes down to how you have this demo that she needs to hear, but it just won't sound right unless you play it for her on the surround sound system in your aquarium room back at your flat...

As a former Bjork devotee (I stopped paying attention around the time Medulla came out, and haven't picked up a release since), I would put Homogenic squarely at the top of the list of favorite Bjork records.

That record takes me back to a very certain place and time, and I suppose much of my adoration for that record comes from nostalgia, but I wholeheartedly recommend it nonetheless.

go with the sugarcubes work, lifes too good and the other one, stick around for joy and then go with debut (which in fact is her 2nd solo album) and then dont bother going any further, youve got the drift.

bjork bores me inn musical terms but as a person she is an interesting character

by the way, this is bjorks first album!

Mmm, yeah, maybe...
