Bjork and Thom Not to Duet?
It wouldn’t be a Monday without some disappointing news. Q Magazine is now saying that the duet that was announced earlier this month between Bjork and Thom Yorke has not happened.

A spokesman for the Bjork said that rumor was not true, even though her official website has confirmed the rumor. Who do we believe? Stay near a monitor for further details as they come in. In the mean time, check out the article at Q Online.
