Hopefully I will be able to soon, because Bjoerk IS COMING TO QUEENSLAND!
..to perform in a Big Day Out concert at Southport.

BTW I am amazed to see professional Kate fans here criticise Bjoerk for
1. screeching, unusual vocals
2.  being ugly

1. I have Bjoerk's debut album, and nary is there a moment where her voice
cracks or screeches. I find it quite pleasant, and most fascinating to listen
to....and this despite finding some of Kate Bush's `heavier' moments 
unlistenable, like that bellowing `Ee-yore' on The Dreaming, and some of the
other screeching and improvisation she does on fadeouts. I have tender
ears.

2. I'm not sure if Bjoerk is ugly or not (the cover photo obscures most of
her face - is there a reason for this?) but it hardly matters, as many
people have already pointed out. Just as I suspected, some of the Kate
fans here are of the fair-weather variety, appreciating her mainly for her
dark good looks. Where will they be in 10 years time when the ravages of
smoking and the middle-age spread take their toll, hmm?

charlatans!
