Bjork and Yorke Duet Update

Bjork’s official website, Websense, has this to say about the rumor of Thom Yorke and Bjork recording a duet together for Bjork’s upcoming film, Dancer in the Dark:

“Some confusion has risen once again around the collaboration between Bjork and Thom Yorke of Radiohead. The most interesting and speculative was similar to: ‘OhMYGawd! it is not happening!’ Why this was proclaimed Meester Fly and his team of web insects never understood. When the only thing they heard on the grapewire was that it was still on, but not yet happened. Things don’t happen until they happen, pretty obvious isn’t ?! So what can Meester Fly say today! Well, it has happened, (and if it has not happened he will retract this statement), but the act happened in a foreign country, at least foreign to England and Iceland.”

Everything has to be complicated, doesn’t it? 🙂

By the way, Meester Fly is the Websense reporter of news.

The newest issue of Rollingstone magazine has a blurb about the duet too… Check it out at your local book store or news agent! (thanks to Kevin B)

Thom and PJ Harvey?

Pitchforkmedia.com is reporting today that Thom will be on Polly Jean Harvey’s new album, scheduled to be released this Fall on Island Records. Thom will be lending his vocals on at least one track. We, of course, are still waiting some confirmation from Radiohead. This comes after last week’s announcement of Thom and Bjork collaborating on her movie/soundtrack project. (see below).

OK Computer Radiohead tour

News for March 8, 1998

Some news I forgot to mention yesterday:

Massive Attack have dropped plans to remix OK COMPUTER for the time being. They are about to release their new album and will be busy touring throughout the year.

Bjork will not be opening up for radiohead on their last four dates. Bjork explained to Westwood One Radio that the two camps simply travel with too much stuff for it to be logistically feasible. But there may be a pairing down the road. “Both artists are very open to doing something in the future,” said a source in Bjork’s management. thanks to pathos.
