I think before there was war and disease, there was just black. Yes, I'm thinking that.
Things I've enjoyed like Books,People(fictional or otherwise),flavors,smells,videogames,cats,comics,toes,bulbs,and that guy who came knocking on my front door one morning asking for a pair of scissors. I said I had two, but they were of different sizes and then he kept staring at me and smiling until my breakfast crawled out of my stomach and offered itself to him on my front carpet that said 'Welcome'.
The beginning of the novel deals with mass blindness and its effect on 1951 London. Breaking down of society, social commentary etc. follows. What I realized while reading was that a lot of literature[apocalyptic], both past and current, is in some way based on this book.[Especially Zombie Stuff like The Walking Dead].
Bjork's voice is haunting. Her oooh's in this song bring the rest of it together. This song is from a movie she acted in, Dancer in the Dark (2000) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0168629/ A very excellent movie, I highly suggest you watch it if you haven't already.
Bjork is a Highly talented individual, not to mention incredibly beautiful and artistic. She's one of.. THEM.
She's also been in a few political controversies lately, in her home country of Iceland. Iceland is also where Sigur Ros hail from, who also make some great music. What is it about Iceland then that gives their people ethereal voices and the gift of melody? Cold and loneliness I;m thinking.. Same thing goes for Canadian writers I guess.
My, she's so pretty...
OK, ADD inspired change, I'm going to dedicate this whole post to Bjork!
