They say you are what you eat…
I suppose you are also what you watch. On DVD, I mean. If you do a lot of it, that is.
We are now in London. I feel tired. And yet, somewhat tense. I have been watching episode after episode of 24 for the past few days. I wonder how it affects me. The world of Jack Bauer is, after all, a very sick one. Maybe I should watch something positive. And funny! Like the South Park version of 24! Mark Bell showed me a glimpse of it today.
Or something calm, but meaningful. Like On the Golden Pond.
(Only kidding).
Rock-en-Seine was yesterday. It was good. The audience seemed wild! This time it was backline technician Allan Pollard´s AND Damian’s birthday. Damian turned 30! And the crowd sang for them both.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALLAN AND DAMIAN!!!

24 is so addictive…but it’s also so good.

Mine is the day before Montreal. I’ll pretend she’s making everyone sing to me next time.

Jónas now I know what you meant with the dance with Björk (during Oceania, I think) you spoke about!
That was so funny and cute! I was at Rock en Seine and Björk spoke french so good and didn’t understand a thing… And I didn’t recognize the birthday song either but it was fun anyway!
Rock en Seine was the best and Björk seemed to be on the top!

By the way Jonas and the band, have you met Emilie Simon at Rock en Seine ?
She is regarded as the french Bjork in France.

Björk’s birthday will be a few days before you’re in Chile, i think
It is Possibly Maybe 
My favourite live performance ever by Björk (with Mark Bell & the Icelandic String Octet) took place on my 9th birthday in 1998

I though that all this birthday thing was a big joke (you must understand, 4 birthdays in the same week its hard to believe).
That it was fun to ask the audience to sing happy birthday for a different person each night. Anyway, it was a very good one to me… (almost disapointed :D)

Hello - we saw Bjork and yourself at Glastonbury, twice in Nimes et at the Paris show - what a tour - and so great to have your blog to hear about what it’s like on ‘the other side’ - thank you for the amazing experiences… I collect thai pop music from the 60s and there is a CD that keeps on being played before the shows that I now am desperate to get hold of, I love it - any ideas?

i discovered this blog a few days ago when i looked up for the spelling of wonderbrass. however it is only now that i realised it’s not kept by just a fan following björk on tour but by you, dear harpsichordist.
i saw you in paris too, august 26, for the first time. four months ago i wouldn’t have thought i would ever get to feel a björk concert so soon and i still find it kinda funny how things can change little by little yet in a decisive kinda way, how some friends and i - one at a time - carried further each others’ dreamy words-in-the-wind and finally transformed them into a real trip-planning.
i very very much enjoyed the new sound of “oceania”. and i’m glad i could really feel “pluto”’s concert charm - it’s not one of those songs i feel attached to, one of those that come to your mind like an audio flashback, nevertheless i find it has a charm that reveals during the live performances.
but the one thing i clearly understood at this first concert was that the people on the stage, you all, but especially björk, are people like every one of us. it’s one of those things you always knew but couldn’t really assimilate. so i guess i’d have to thank those two tall guys that were somewhere in front of me at the begining of the concert, because that made me give up trying to get a clear and continuous view of björk on the stage and just enjoy that air full of sound and understand it was going to be like any other special concert where i very-very much like the music and admire the people on the stage, where they feel good playing and singing, the audience has fun dancing(me included) and everything is happiness at unison. it doesn’t happen to me too often to really feel like totally tasting a concert i go to but i know besides björk, who touches some chord somewhere inside of me, there’s also dan byron, a musician from my country, who brings such a joy to me every time he’s on stage, no matter the band he’s been into: kumm, urma or byron( http://www.trilulilu.ro/transp/c8af9c697ad115 ). if i were to pick, these would be my two choices: björk as foreign artist and dan byron as one from home.
you know, that night in august i had come in mind with the naive thought of somehow passing to björk a little origami flower (it’s the only thing i know so far to do without help). i gave up to the thought because of the greater lesson i received in exchange: people we admire, however faraway they are, they’re also human.
thank you for being human and being generous.
although you know almost nothing about the ones you give to.
