hey
lina! i saw that you mentioned on BEP you needed a review for the
Letterman show...so here i am, you're one-man
resque-squad...or...umm...something like that. hehe, i think it's
actually just a case of being bored off my ass and finally getting around
to old BEP mails ;) anyways, here goes something:
After some boring sketch about a man's new car and it's hapless victims
who have to ride in it, after good lettuce is pointlessly chopped up by a
lawnmower on top of a man's mouth, and finally after the seemingly endless
wait for Björk to grace The Late Show with David Letterman, the time
came.
She is seen on the stage, wearing a lovely black/yellow/white Alexandre
Matthieu dress with her back arched as she cranks the knob of her fancy
Porter music box. Pagan Poetry's first notes begin to surface,
importantly filling my t/v's speakers with it's urgency.
She begins, "pedalling through, the dark currents..." The
song swells in it's beauty while the Inuit Choir chants "swirling
black lilies totally ripe." The choir seems very happy to be
there, they sway with the tune. "Was ever such an interesting mix of
artists on that Letterman stage before?"
I quietly answer back in my head, "methinks not!"
Then comes the song's strong closing, "I looove him, I looo-ooove
him, I looove him, I looo-ooove him"...Björk's brow begins to furrow
as the reverie begins to regain it's composure, and she half-heartedly
tells herself, "this time, I'm gonna keep it to myself"...until
she decides that, "he makes me want to hand myself over!"
Zeena was amazing on the harp, Matmos were busy at their laptops, Björk
sent chills through at least one Björk fan's spine as she sung his
favorite new song on a popular television show...
There was a tiny interview when the last commercial break ended, if that's
what you want to call it. We got a few clear "yeps" out of
Björk and she explains to David that the Inuit girls have on their
national costumes. She was cute and didn't need to say anything
anyways, since of course, the music always seems to speak for itself.
