Subject: SugarCubes
I'm surprised I haven't seen more about the beautious Bjork in this group! I've heard bits and pieces of the Sugarcubes songs for a while now, and at first I was put off by the apparent attitude of the promoters that they would be the "next big thing". (I generally hate bands with that kind of attitude). But I kept hearing that voice.....very different from the eternal KaTe, but very very spine-tingling nonetheless. I finally broke down last night and bought the tape....definately worth it if you like Bjork's vocal style (which is almost impossible to describe--she can go from rough throaty notes to sweet airy ones seamlessly.....). My personal favorite is _Birthday_ but then again, that's the one I've heard most.... so hey! Rush out and buy it! God knows we need *something* to tide us over until KaTe deigns to release her latest work...... (ps. why is so much time being spent on Radio stations that only a small percentage of the country knows about, much less cares? Just curious.) "I can't write songs about girls anymore. I have to write songs about women. No more 'boy meets girl, boy loses girl', more like 'man tries to figure out what the hell went wrong'!" -_I'm an adult now_ --The Pursuit of Happiness
