Hi Bjork!
I have been immersing myself in Medulla since I bought DVD version with documentary. There is always so much going on in your music, repeated listening is essential, but initial impression is extremely favourable. I find it very amusing that 2 of your songs are in gibberish - I can imagine many ignorant foreigners like me thinking they were very profound lyrics. For what it is worth I also enjoy hearing you sing and speak (in the documentary) in Icelandic. I think you said you enjoy it more, so I think you should do it as much as you want - so long as I have a translation I'll be quite happy.
The other thing I found amusing was that you were "pissing" yourself laughing at your attempts to write lyrics for an Olympic song. (Incidentally, that was a superb surprise to see you at the opening Ceremony.) I'm not joking when I say maybe you should record that for future projects - as you no doubt realise, our bodies make all sorts of interesting sounds in addition to vocal ones.
Finally, for the moment at least, you indicated you didn't like people saying they loved you as they don't know you and you can be "a real bastard" sometimes - a fair point, although I find it very hard to think of you doing anything nasty. Meanwhile, as I don't drink myself, I'd be happy to drive you to your hotel or wherever after you've got drunk next time you are in Scotland. I think it would be fascinating to be with you when you are relaxing with friends.
All the best to you and your family.
PS: Stunning photograph for Medulla - I hope it wasn't too uncomfortable in that outfit!
