The band Battles, which appeared on the Melt Festival, is one of my favorite. Here is a little video. I met one of them, Tyondai Braxton, after our own show. It was a real honour!
Archive for July 22nd, 2008It seems that my entry about Bubbi Morthens has created a storm of protest in Iceland… For those of you who speak Icelandic, see here. It appears that what got under people’s skin was the quip about Bubbi’s finances and that Björk should have dedicated the Náttúra concert to him and his bank balance. I didn’t think I had to state the obvious. That it was a joke. What wasn’t a joke though was the fact that Bubbi really SHOULD give a concert in Iceland to do something about helping the poor. In 2004, Björk was so moved by the devastation of the tsunami in Sumatra that she felt obliged to support the emergency response. To that end she released an album of remixes of her song ‘Army of Me’ and donated all the album proceeds to UNICEF’s global emergency work. Bubbi should do something similar. |
