Bjorkwatch 2008

Holly — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 04:24:23 +0000

Bjork came to 10 Jay Street. We tried to find her!

An anonymous tipster (that’s tips@801a.info, FYI) alerted us on Saturday night that Bjork would be recording on the 8th floor of 10 Jay Street on Monday. We all came into work on Monday, excited and waiting for Bjork to arrive.

For the past two days, I’ve run to the peephole whenever I heard heels in the hall, or every 10 minutes. Monday came and went, but today, finally, success! Upon return from our lunch break, Renda and I receive a text message from Andy Pressman: Bjork has just entered the ladies room (which now, coincidentally, contains soap and paper towels).

Renda rushes to the bathroom and body-checks Bjork with the door. I peep out the door and see Bjork walking by, bells a-jinglin’. She is actually wearing furry boots, not heels. Renda says she was wearing a weird flowy mumu, and that Bjork made her just a little nervous.

Fifteen minutes later, we make our way over to the door of Atlantic Sound, where Bjork is recording. We can hear her: Bjork is singing behind that door. We took a video as proof. If you want to see it email us—this would definitely start an internet sensation, and someone would inevitably get sued. BEST TUESDAY EVER!

Note: If you are into my Photoshop work, I am having a recession sale!

The Apple

This weekend I went to a small spring forward celebration at Holly’s apt, where I immediately sat on the sofa and slept on and off until morning. The next day I had a very faint, blurry memory that I had watched a trailer for a 1980s sci-fi musical about a future 1984-esque 1994 where the earth is ruled by someone or something called The Apple. Impossible, I thought. It must have been a dream.

I was wrong.

The Apple synopis from NetFlix:

Two Canadians, Alphie (George Gilmour) and Bibi (Catherine Mary Stewart), journey into the future (set, interestingly enough, in the now-distant past of 1994) to test their fate at the Worldvision Song Festival. Their sweet and smart lyrics earn them the admiration of many, but corporate giant Boogalow International Music pushes for another team to win. When BIM offers them a contract, however, the pair wonders whether the gift is really a trap.
