Björk will perform at the venue on the 17th as planned, god bless

Exactly! Thank god I live 30 minutes by train from the venue so it won't really affect me but I feel sorry for those who are coming here just to see her. Last time the presidents of US and Russia met in Finland lots of hotels were reserved for staff and journalists so the customers who had booked earlier had to stay at another hotels and so on. Won't be too surprised if that's going to happen again.

Yeah... at least rescheduling is waaayyy better than cancelling the whole thing but I really hope that they can still have it on the 17th The fact that they won't confirm anything for the time being is nerve-racking

Björk's gig in Finland might be cancelled or rescheduled because of Trump and Putin meeting in Helsinki a day earlier. The venue will be reserved for journalists for a few days and Trump and Putin might even meet there - and for now there's no confirmation what will happen to the concert. This is fucking bullshit. Edit: At least LiveNation has been hyping the concert last couple of days and yesterday they even put some more tickets for sale because the production of the show was confirmed. However my stress levels are still high and I'm pissed af

Got my Blissing me and Arisen my senses vinyls a couple of hours ago! Loss remix(es) with even more raging beats next please Also the cum colored Arisen vinyl is so pretty

Björk explains designs of "magically utopian" sets and costumes Björk looked to classic Icelandic paintings and summer nights when designing the sets and costumes for her Utopia world tour, she explains in an exclusive interview with Dezeen. The Icelandic musician, who is currently touring her latest album Utopia, told Dezeen that she took paintings from her childhood as inspiration when imagining the sets for the tour, which began 27 May. She was also influenced by midsummer nights in Iceland, where there can be up to 24 hours of sunlight a day. "I feel like foreigners mostly know Iceland in the winter, the black lava, the volcanos, the glaciers, the harsh brutal angle, but there is a side to Iceland in midsummer, especially the sunny nights in nature that are very magically utopian," she said. Set on an island in the sky, the album Utopia, released 24 November 2017, centres on a dreamlike, future utopia where technology and nature are in harmony. Speaking to Dezeen, the musician spoke of her efforts to create "an opium-like trance in a utopian garden", which she sought to achieve by combining the natural with the man made. "It is a proposal of our possible future when we learn to get technology and nature to collaborate," explained Björk. To achieve this, Björk enlisted the help of set designer Heimir Sverrisson, and artist James Merry, who created the intricate headpieces for the singer and her 12-piece flute ensemble. "I found myself on long talks with the set designers, costumers, photographers and directors to finetune the balance between the biological and the urban," she said. "This world is an attempt to reveal a functioning cooperation between the natural and the manmade, but I want nature to win a little – so like 65 per cent outdoors and 35 per cent manmade stuff," she explained. The colour scheme was chosen as a blend of peach and a "very specific" pale blue-green, while wind machines were used to capture the sensation of floating in the sky. For the headpieces, Björk wanted the aesthetic to be futuristic, citing the Sydney Opera House and sci-fi as influences. "[They] are an extension of bones as if they could help them make more powerful wind sounds, their skulls resonating with air," she said. "It is nature collaborating with technology so there are all kinds of hybrids, plant-bird-human," she explained. "I talked about my face being an orchid opening, but also with breathing flute holes on my neck – a mutant bird-plant. It needed to look fertile and potent, that there is a erotic energy there, a potential for multiplying but also a little scary, a little fucked up, a comedy element to it too." Meanwhile, the flute player costumes designed by Threeasfour were made from a mix of white recycled plastic and "sensual peach hairiness". Björk's unique visual language has attracted a range of collaborations with designers, including Neri Oxman, who created a mask based on "digital interpretations" of her bone and tissue, and Maiko Takeda, who designed a spiky headpiece for an exhibition in Paris. Previously, she spoke to Dezeen on her music video for The Gate, which she describes as "when the chest changes from a wound to a gate, where you can send and receive love from". //where does her genius come from

Oh I hope it's not too serious, sorry to hear that Yep she ordered the sofa for her cabin in Iceland! The tapestry made and the sofa itself were named Black Lake, I think they had some items with the textile for sale but I don't know if they still have any of those.

I can't remember when was the last time I listened to something else from the record than Cherry, White Mustang, Heroin or Get Free. Overall I liked this album a lot when it came out but I completely forgot about it after a while which is unfortunate. Maybe I'll listen to it in full on July 21st Edit: Oh yeah +13 Beaches

Yeah I've seen people saying that the bass is extremely loud especially during Arisen my senses. I'm so happy that you ended up being okay, and yes I wish some people would realize that even one concert can fuck up your hearing real bad. I sort of learned this the hard way myself as I used to go to arena concerts and club gigs without earplugs - and I always left them with my ears ringing and I didn't take it seriously as the ringing had usually stopped the next morning when I woke up; until one morning when my left ear was still ringing. I observed the situation for a few days until I went to a doctor and I left with papers about tinnitus since there's basically no way to treat it. I couldn't fall asleep unless I had a little bit of noise around me so I used to have some CD playing in the background. Almost four years have passed since then and the tinnitus in my left year is somewhat more "distant" than in the beginning or I'm just so used to it I don't really notice it in my everyday life anymore. Either way I have these annoying days every now and then when the ringing/buzzing is louder than usually so yeah my left ear is definitely damaged. I don't remember nor know what it feels like to be in complete silence anymore. I do my best to avoid loud noises (this even includes my boyfriend and our friend playing PS4 because they make a lot of those) and I definitely have my precious earplugs with me at concerts and when I (these days very rarely) go to clubs. I try to be as careful as possible yet still enjoy myself because I don't want my left ear to go deaf eventually which is a scary probability. I don't know if people think they look embarrassing with earplugs or something but I definitely recommend them. Not only do they protect your hearing very effectively but there's also earplugs designed especially for concerts and clubs etc. that filter the noise, bass etc. and eventually you can actually hear a lot better than those not wearing any earplugs. In Finland you can find earplugs made of foam pretty much everywhere but they're almost always disposable and very annoying to put in your ears, at least for me they popped out almost immediately. So I got myself silicone ones online that I can put perfectly into my ears in a second and they're also skin color so they aren't very noticeable - for like 20€. Definitely one of the best purchases I've made and like I said I don't even go to any bars without them. When people complain about the DJ playing music too loud, I can hear it clearly and enjoy it. Moving to a way lighter subject however, I haven't mentioned this here before but Björk had a Finnish, London-based designer Klaus Haapaniemi design her furniture inspired by Icelandic fantasy landscapes and lava fields close to her remote summer house in Iceland. The furniture were custom-built here in Finland and a year ago they were available for the public to see for a short period of time at a gallery in Helsinki. Being fans of her, my boyfriend and I had plans of seeing it - and sit on the sofa before Björk lol - since we live half and hour from Helsinki but eventually we were busy with other stuff so we missed it. And since we're talking about Björk and her connections with Finland, I'm bored so here's some fun stuff and facts.

oh my god

You might have a hard time waiting for the next one, so I suggest that you surrender

Exactly If I remember correctly she was thinking about releasing it this spring but yeah nope girl... hopefully after the summer tour is over, I guess she's doing a break from touring once she's done with the shows next month. I don't know if people have forgotten about it but there was supposed to be a luxury edition of Utopia, but for the time being it's scrapped and some staff from OLI replied to a fan that they couldn't decide the content of the box set. So maybe a Voltaic kind of deal isn't that unlikely after all, or at least we could get another Vulnicura Live kind of a box. I don't know. To be honest I think it would be somewhat foolish not to do a live DVD/blu-ray on this tour because she's really giving us a show with all the stage props and all. I've watched Biophilia Live once because I thought it was kinda boring but with this production... hell yes she better do it.

Last show today in Rome before the one month break! Which is probably going to be boring af since I doubt we're getting anything at all, fingers crossed for another digital remix EP and vinyl announcement. And then there's only 3 shows left before mine - oh my god - and the end of the summer tour. So about now would be a good time for her to debut Claimstaker live tbh. Also I can't wait to see what she's wearing, I hope we're getting a new outfit today since she wore the red one again at Northside last week. Although I wouldn't mind the white All Points East one, it's really pretty. Am I too demanding lol Edit: Oh man they had to cancel the Rome gig because it was outdoors and it was lightning...

They've confirmed that dual pistols aren't making a comeback, probably not in future games either. The new gameplay videos and screenshots made me even more excited for the game and I didn't think it was possible

By far one of the best songs on Glory

which reminds me... can we collectively agree on Private Show being one of the weakest tracks on Glory? I just checked my Last.fm and I've listened to it only 15 times because it's too painful, same with If I'm Dancing and Better

Positively surprised to say that I kinda dig those snippets, they kind of sound better than most on Art Angels which has like 4 tracks I actually listen to. Still hoping for the darker one to sound more like Visions though, these two so light.

Oh you're describing the wrong album honey

what happened to that ep she talked about, no sense putting out one as a follow-up to LFL anymore. rip roses bloom for you and yosemite and in with the new stuff

I've been checking this out every now and then as well! Need to take a better look one of these days.

They're as certain as death and taxes

Parveke means balcony and permanto (1st) floor

Congrats

Sorry for the late reply but yes! //FUCKING HELL I got front row seats I can't believe my dream is finally coming true and we're so close

The tickets for Björk's indoor show at Finlandia hall in Helsinki come available on Monday morning at 9AM local time. 24-hour presale for LiveNation Events Club members ends in half an hour but the presale is only available for those members with Silver or Gold membership (for example the Silver one is 95€ a year so...), a limited amount of tickets from each price range are available in presale - and the cheapest ones (109€/ticket) are already sold out. Price ranges are 109€/169€/189€/195€/199€. Eventually me and my boyfriend decided that if we have to pay 199€ at most to get tickets, then we're just going to say a loud "fuck it" and do it - if we even manage to snatch those, that is. They're marketing this one as a "special show" in Finland since it's the only one in-doors besides the rehearsal shows and like I mentioned previously, the capacity is only 1700 people. So I'm pretty sure it's going to be the hunger games when the tickets come for sale... and on top of that I once tried getting tickets for an arena show for my folks and they were all sold out when I got in because the ticket seller has this somewhat unfair queue system and once it's your turn you have to go through a freaking captcha verification with those god damn photos. They received a lot of negative feedback for that so I'm desperately hoping that they've learned from their mistakes and it'll only be "tick this box" this time around. So thumbs up and fingers crossed guys, I'm gonna need all the luck I can get. //On a more lighter note - I guess -, here's the setlist from last night in Barcelona! 01. Arisen My Senses 02. The Gate 03. Utopia 04. Blissing Me 05. Isobel 06. Courtship 07. Human Behaviour 08. Tabula Rasa 09. Pleasure Is All Mine 10. Wanderlust 11. Features Creatures 12. Loss 13. Sue Me 14. Notget Definitely a better decision to end the show with the killer 3 rather than Features Creatures... Also check out this video of Human Behaviour
