Volta, and issues with Umlauts.

Recommended Posts

Anyone else pick up the new Bjork album yet? I think it's utterly fantastic. super megalific, like.

 

also, how do I do umlauts on a keyboard?

No, because I'm not a big Björk fan - but if you recommended some choice tracks, I'll check them out :)

 

And... on win xp with English keyboard...

 

alt+0228 = ä

alt+0235 = ë

alt+0239 = ï

alt+0246 = ö

alt+0252 = ü

 

These and more (caps) in the Character Map.

I suggest Earth Intruders and Wanderlust for starters, then move on from there. I'm trying to adjust to it at the moment, it's good but there are definitely a few not so great tracks. I think it'll be a grower.

How exactly do you type that in? Press Alt and the numbers 0, 2, 2, 8??

Never really listened to this kind of music, but my flatmate is a fan. He might have it.

Had it for a week and a bit now and i FUCKING LOVES IT!

 

Earth Intruders is such a great song to start it and the songs with Anthony Hegerty are amazing. Such respect for the queen of iceland! lol

 

BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR (bar arcade fire-neon bible ofcourse!)

Works on Vista as well. Just thought I'd mention that. :bouncy: but anyways never heard of Björk... so... what kind of music is it?

I have to say, all the Bjork I've listened to makes me want to pull a pencil up my nose, and dive onto it.

My god.

I felt like getting a cd today.

I saw this and remembered there being a thread here about it with some great reviews. Not heard much Bjork but I thought "meh, i'll give it a go"

 

The first track is now over and i'm listening to some awful boat horn noises.

 

I really hope this is a grower...

I have a special key for umlauts. Teehee.

 

äëüïö¨¨¨¨ =D

 

 

I've liked some of Björk's songs before. Not a big fan or anything, but I might have to check some of these songs out. =3

it IS a grower! I'm loving the album now after being initially unimpressed. Quite nice to have on while doing other things.

Oh Dan I feel your pain, this Bjork hatred is distressing. Not had a chance to give the new stuff a listen, perhaps when I regain access to money I'll get it. In the mean time I hope all goes well and both she and I will be at Glastonbury in a few weeks time.

I don't like her music, but what I really don't like is HER.

She tries to compensate for being, well, a midget, by having an onoxious attitude to lure out the media and appear to be a rebel and whatnot. Ugh

I just sampled this on iTunes. It was physically and mentally painful. :shakehead

Hellfire, be quiet. Bjork is brilliant.

 

As for the new album, the Timbaland produced tracks are best, "Dull Flame..." is also good, due to having the drummer from Lightning Bolt providing percussion.
