It's nice to publish a story about someone who I thought I could not admire more and discover that even I could do something brighter. On 28 June this year dedicated a tribute to Björk , codename in my musical taste, a tribute that would have wanted to do since the first day I started this blog. As I do not want to repeat, for anyone who wants to remember why (at least for me) she is a genius and his music a proposal full of talent, art and magic, here is the post . Risk and innovation have led to the recognition and prestige, not shared by everyone, always Björk has combined with involvement in matters of his country, Iceland, which is one of the few familiar faces. Especially environmental issues, protection of nature reserves, the consequences of climate change, etc. But without propaganda. Everyone knows that Bono (U2) is "supportive" but few people know that Björk and Moby are, but probably more thoroughly and as an activity to develop for many years, including "polluter" almost merges the facet that has made them stand out.
Well the last thing that has happened and what has been decided to embark "the child prodigy of electronic music and other labels" has been a karaoke in Reykjavík (# smoky bay) in marathon format for 3 days, which has gems like this. By the way is just brutal how endorses the song after the first minute faithfully interpret the original song-one of my favorite forever & ever - as if to make clear that there is a cover but a tribute a delight. Something that looks like something out of a dream, because they are, she and Joy Division , two of my fetishes names from the music scene.
And this opportunity to see a "great lady" read some of their subjects or others, with a touch of karaoke casposillo imperfect and a musical personality ... so perfect like yours, that both the acoustic-care was not just an exhibition of his, but has little to fear: it is the best voice, to the delight of those present, for a good cause, was not even to raise funds (which, sure, would have raised), but to collect signatures that would join and would support preventing the sale of the company, the transfer amoral according to sustainable policies essential. And what, to this day, he says, gives life and strength, are the signatures, and eventually get things right led, and a figure already above 22.o00 names have joined the initiative. HAPPENING / Karaoke bringing together voices of this movement has been called "The voice of the people" in response and protest the privatization of Osa HS , the company that supplies energy to the country, to the suspicion that it has acquired have a history of dubious environmental record level.
Much of the work of Björk have played a part have been partially or completely beneficial, as his last work, in collaboration with Dirty Projects called Mount Wittenberg Orca and only released on vinyl, dedicated to the sea, interestingly one of his first items was a beautiful "I live by the ocean ..." , an almost Leitmotif at work, and the importance of safeguarding their wealth. By the way, I think he would listen to matching Stretched Sinde did not seem to learn anything when he signed the cooperation agreement for the protection of the seabed, an example of the coolness and half measures of this mysterious woman alias minister of one of the most visceral: the culture. It is also known that shook so many Björk as natural disaster Tsunami, that's where his inspiration came and gave him your hard "Volta" ... or the volcanic cloud , which remained on alert throughout the country and threatened European airspace, with consequent loss ... was a subject which was very absorbed. In fact, I have not removed a disc authoring and a genius like her, with the overwhelming ability and creativity, you can make records like hotcakes if it were meant to.
What remains unclear is whether Iceland is a greater awareness here for natural questions if they feel closer to nature, or what happens to that we have no initiative like or similar: If we do not have models such as Björk for country, or if there is no cause that someone with power and not belonging to the political class (those do not count) is willing to defend with the integrity and sincerity, because what is clear is that the known side projects are viable on anonymity naufragarían. More in a moment like this, with a raging global crisis and the politicians have left unattended or poorly served issues crucial and vital. Amid the general disappointment that people who have the means to push forward initiatives such as Björk is very positive, a lesson in generosity. On how someone can use their resources, their fame, its convening and promoting initiatives truly supportive, assertive and activist spirit but well informed ... Guillermo Toledo learn you can only talk about what you know! then do not harm ... Björk has managed to channel many times your responsibility as a celebrity-to see if others learn, and I can imagine the power that the media should have at this time Lady Gaga, won in part with all that exhibitionism ... we know little of his ideology; however, Björk said honest opinions related to those issues that probably does not have benefited her image. BRAVO FOR HER; Again, my hat!
