SIDE HUSTLE 13. Norman Mailer: TOUGH GUYS DON'T DANCE and CREMASTER 2Every ranking must have its worst, and this week's episode aims to shoot to the bottom of the Season X bucket with Norman Mailer as our chosen actor-director. TGTPTU welcomes back its junior cohost Jack after a long hiatus to join us on this atrocity to good sense as we cover two unwatchable films: the first, TOUGH GUYS DON'T DANCE (1987), nominated for four Independent Spirit Awards and seven Golden Raspberries and unwatchable for its wildly shifting tones throughout melodramatic flashbacks within flashbacks, and the second, CREMASTER 2 (1999), the gorgeously shot fourth entry in artist Matthew Barney's five-part Cremaster Cycle unwatchable as its viewing restricted to art museums and its limited series DVDs selling for $100k. Shot on location in Provincetown, the occasionally great Ryan O'Neal (Barry Lyndon, Paper Moon) plays Tim Madden in the Mailer written and directed, Golan-Globus production of Tough Guys Don't Dance. The 80's fever dream makes both St. Elmo's Fire and The Bonfire of the Vanities feel rewatchable as protagonist Tim Madden parades through amnesia, flashbacks, adultery, and homophobic reactions in a convoluted plot involving alcohol, triple-crosses, swingers, murder, cocaine, psychics, swingers, alcohol, cocaine, tattoos, cocaine, and swingers with a little sex and booze and Columbian marching powder sprinkled in. While Mailer had directed three improvisational movies in the 1960s (including that one where Mailer bit off a piece of Rip Torn's ear), Tough Guys Don't Dance demonstrates why it was Mailer's first and only narrative film to direct. Also bypassing narrative conventions, Björk's ex- (their breakup the subject of her 2015 album Vulnicura) a.k.a. artist/director Matthey Barney's filmic work traverses worlds alchemic and ordinary and was well worth the plane ticket to bring TGTPTU's three hosts back together for a screening of the film at the museum where it was showing that one time around when the recording happened and definitely not a pirated copy of this impossible to rent or purchase film. Follow our hosts' dulcet voices as we recount the film's nearly wordless journey from séance to bees covering in a woman in a plexiglass corset penetrated by a large phallus to a death metal drummer covered in bees on the phone with a gas station attendant the latter of whom will be killed by Gary Gilmore (played by Barney, subject of Mailer's Executioner Song) before the camera heads to a chanting city and a rodeo before heading into a warehouse for a magic show. Norman Mailer plays Harry Houdini and his performance, well, we'd normally ask you to judge for yourself but there's no way in hell you're ever seeing this film, so your loss.  So listen along as we describe one film you don't want to—and another you can't—watch. This week's show will leave you yelling heavenwards alongside Tim Madden in Tough Guys Don't Dance after he discovers his wife is having an affair: “Oh Man! Oh God! Oh Man! Oh God! Oh Man! Oh God! Oh Man! Oh God! Oh Man! Oh God!”THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegoodthepoda1YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!):Ken: Ken KoralJack: jackk1096

(This is a re-issue of Björk's episode from December 2015.) In January 2015, Björk released Vulnicura. She described it as "a complete heartbreak album." And in November, she released Vulnicura Strings, a companion album that stripped away the electronics. In this episode, Bjork breaks down the making of both the original version of the song "Stonemilker," which you're hearing now, as well as the strings version. She traces her writing and recording process for the track, her collaboration with the electronic producer Arca, and why she wanted to make a second version.  For more, visit songexploder.net/björk.

Join Nick Cherryman (University of Warwick) and me for a giggle and a bit of jolly gender jamming in this episode about drag, performance and pantomime. Nick (aka Ibi Profane) gives us some highlights of drag history, explains what posthuman drag might be and why even that is still gendered. Non-British listeners (and holiday enthusiasts) also get a brief intro to panto dames, why they can be so much fun, but also why they can potentially reinforce problematic assumptions about trans* people. With sparkling examples from Björk to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and a heartwarming story about a young queer woman, a drag queen and a burger, this episode will be the treat you need.Texts, people and shows mentioned:queer/disrupt https://www.queerdisrupt.com/ “Ibi Profane's Dragged Through History” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PwjcKemYHkDonna Harraway's Cyborg ManifestoJerBer JonesDragulaHungry (@ishehungry)Björk: Utopia, “Virus”, “Mutual Core”, Vulnicura, BiophiliaAndrew Thomas HuangStonewallMarsha P.

Aaaaahhh!Questions you should be able to respond to after listening:1. Nick and I briefly reference Donna Harraway's Cyborg Manifesto and the term ‘posthuman'. Please find a definition and an example (this can be artwork, drag, literature, theory, popular culture or whatever you like) for the ‘posthuman' and look up what the Cyborg Manifesto is all about.2. Please create a little glossary of terms that relate to drag or being trans and write a very short definition (can be in key words) for each one. Example: “‘Transvestite' is a term was historically used to describe people who wore clothing of a gender not assigned to them at birth. The term often conflates crossdressers, transgender people and people performing in drag.”3. Can you think of an example of genderfuckery in a literary text?4. What is a Molly House? Which specific one does Nick mention and where were they located?5. What is problematic about pantomimes? What does Nick say about the differences between performance spaces and public spaces in this context?

In the first ever episode of Pass the Aux, I am joined by my pal Everett to discuss songs by Björk, Sleeping with Sirens, and Robustom. Topics of discussion include vaporwave, the Vulnicura album, and Everett's emo phase. PLAYLIST: “Sesamo Blues,” “Stonemilker,” “Bloody Knuckles”

"I'd pay money to hear her fart down a Walkie-Talkie"So we find ourselves in the latter half of the solo work of Icelandic legend Björk. First of all we had major tech-issues with this one. Hopefully it's not too distracting and we promise never to do it again. Nick brings back his trademarked "Party Björk to Arty Björk" phrase to a much better reception. Ewan had real issues with "one of the most important pieces of music of the century". Emily loves an album no-one else did and Liam veers between love, admiration and disappointment. And we all mispronounce something at least once. In this episode we discuss these records: Medúlla (2004) Volta (2007) Biophillia (2011) Vulnicura (2015) Utopia (2017) NOTE: This was originally intended to be released much earlier in the season so we may reference that, Yes we are still amateurs!!

After dabbling with acting and music, Greg Downing found his true calling in all things photography related — and the world is a better place for it. His passion for the medium took him from home experiments with plaster casts and turntables to create panoramas of European landmarks to building a new HDRI camera for effects house Rhythm & Hues. At the same time, Greg has indulged his passion for documenting the wonders of the world with cutting-edge technology. He’s used gigapixel photography, photogrammetry, VR, HDRI, dome theaters and the Google Maps API to capture and display Yosemite’s El Capitan rock formation, Everest’s base camp and historic paintings in Chinese caves. In this podcast, Greg talks about these projects as well as his work with Björk in Iceland on her immersive VR album “Vulnicura” and his collaborations in the world of lightfields with technology pioneer Paul Debevec at Google.

Björk kemur við sögu í seinni hluta þáttarins en Joan Baez í þeim fyrri. Björk heldur tvenna tónleika í Reykjavík í vikunni og byrjar tónleikaferð sína um heiminn í Háskólabíó mánudaginn 9. og fimmtudaginn 12. apríl. Útópía er 10. sólóplata Bjarkar, hún kom út í lok síðasta árs og var valin ein af bestu plötum síðasta árs í ýmsum miðlum víða um heim og fyrir síðustu plötu þar á undan; Vulnicura, hlaut hún bresku tónlistarverðlaunin í flokknum „besta alþjóðlega söngkonan“. Á Útópíu-túrnum kemur Björk fram með 7 flautuleikurum, slagverksleikara og raftónlistarmanni. Rokkland spjallaði við Björk þegar Útópía kom út og spurði t.d. hvort hún væri enn að fást við popp-músík eða hvort þetta væri eitthvað allt annað. Við skoðum líka nýja „plötu“ sem heitir Universal Love og hefur að geyma „hinsegin“ útgáfur af ýmsum þekktum lögum og flytjendur eru Bob Dylan, Kele söngvari Bloc Party ofl. En í fyrri hluta þáttarins er Joan Baez yfir og allt um kring. Hún sendi fyrir skömmu frá sér plötuna Whistle down the road sem hún segir að verði hugsanlega og líklega sín síðasta plata og hún ætlar að fylgja henni eftir með síðustu alvöru tónleikaferðinni sem hófst í mars í Svíþjóð og stendur út árið. Joan Baez er 77 ára gömul og búin að vera að syngja fyrir fólk í meira en 60 ár. Við heyrum lög af nýju plötunni en líka músík frá fyrstu árunum.

Meet Jesal and Rochard. We are the Transatlantic Rebels. In Episode 32, we take a look at two pivotal albums by one of Rochard's favourite singers, Bjork. This week, Rochard picked "Vespertine" (2001) and "Vulnicura" (2015). There are also discussions on "Dancer in the Dark"; why women never get any credit despite doing most of the work; and the compartmentalisation of emotions. Jesal is from the UK, and Rochard is from America. We like to talk in depth about albums, films, TV shows and books. Rochard has a background in TV, acting, writing and many other areas of art creation. Jesal has a background in music: DJ, producer, artist, critic and other stuff. Enjoy!

Meet Jesal and Rochard. We are the Transatlantic Rebels. In Episode 31, we take a look at two pivotal albums by one of Rochard's favourite singers, Bjork. Jesal thought he was a relative newbie to Bjork... But it turns out Rochard picked  "Post" (1995) and "Homogenic" (1997) - and Jesal was actually familiar with both! Next week in Part II, we take a look at "Vespertine" (2001) and "Vulnicura" (2015). Jesal is from the UK, and Rochard is from America.

Welcome to Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast #60! https://www.organduo.lt Today's guest is ​Sławomir Zubrzycki – outstanding Polish pianist, soloist and chamber musician specializing in performing contemporary music, composer, and constructor of musical instruments. He's a graduate of the Academy of Music in Cracow (1988, piano – prof. T. Żmudziński's class, modern music – prof. A. Kaczyński's class) and The Boston Conservatory of Music (1990-91). Fulbright Scholar. Prize winner at the prestigious Polish Piano Art Festival in Słupsk (1987). Sławomir Zubrzycki has been giving concerts in USA, Germany, Austria, Spain, Great Britain and Ukraine. He has made several recordings for Polskie Nagrania (Polish recording company), Polish Radio and Television. He was a lecturer at Summer Academy of Contemporary Music – Avantgarde Tirol in Austria (2005, 2007). In 2009, Zubrzycki came across the traces of a real rarity – Viola Organista – the instrument designed by Leonardo da Vinci, but which had almost been unknown and forgotten. Fascinated by the facts from the past, in the years 2009-2012 Zubrzycki created his own version of Leonardo da Vinci's design. The premiere recitals of viola organista (October 2013) were a spectacular artistic success that attracted record attendances, gained attention of the international media and over two million viewers on YouTube. ​His European tours in 2014-2015 included recitals at Stockholm Early Music Festival, Wratislavia Cantans, Ghent Festival of Flanders, Kotor Art Festival, Polish Music Days in Turkey, Ohrid Summer Festival, Milano Classica. In 2015 the first solo album, "Viola organista - The da Vinci sound", was released thanks to support of music lovers from all over the world (from Kickstarter campaign). In 2015, Zubrzycki was also invited by Icelandic singer Björk to record together an acoustic version of her album "Vulnicura". In this conversation, ​Sławomir shares his insights about how he constructed viola organista and how he learned to play it. It's completely different and unexplored area of music and I hope a lot of organists from all over the world will find much inspiration from it. ​Enjoy and share your comments below. ​ And don't forget to help spread the word about the SOP Podcast by sharing it with your organist friends. Thanks for caring. Related link: http://www.violaorganista.com

Welcome to the first episode of 2016! Join us as we kick off the new year with a new microphone and Björk's torrid divorce album, Vulnicura, released early last year. Afterwards, we dive into some more heavy material concerning music at large: how easy it is to grow "out of touch", internet marketing, and postcapitalism! Should be a fun year... Continue reading

Comics artist Georgia Webber joins Sam and Marnie in a discussion about inner voice and how we manage those interior cheerleaders and critics that we face while making work. Also in this episode: encores at the symphony, the burden & usefulness of awards, FGOs and lessons towards bravery gleaned from a Bob Newhart sketch on MadTV. Marnie recommends: Vulnicura by Bjork Sam recommends: Southeastern by Jason Isbell, and a page from somewhere in the middle of "Art and Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking" by David Bayles and Ted Orland More information on Georgia: http://georgiasdumbproject.com/ Follow Image+Text! - Twitter: @ImagePlusText - Tumblr: imageplustext.tumblr.com - Subscribe on iTunes or Stitcher

This mix is for Black women who love Björk Guðmundsdóttir. For some of us Björk is one of the guiding forces in the most secret parts of our emotional lives. And there is something to be said about the fact that my deepest, most intimate romantic relationships have been with Black women who speak Björk. She is one of the most brilliant artists of our time, with relevance far beyond the boringly sensational Academy Award swan dress debacle, which on the low, I believe was a challenge to American popular cultural values. Like on some fashion resistance shit. “I thought I could organize freedom, how Scandinavian of me?” During my New York years, I had the opportunity to witness Björk live at the Apollo with three other Black women. Björk at The Apollo? What a combination and what an honorable way to honor the Black folks that get down with her like that. Aside from the sheer weight of the decision to perform in Harlem, we, like thousands of her students, made sure to have loot in hand ready to buy tickets the moment they went on sale. We managed to get tickets, but please understand, in less than five minutes the show was sold out. And to be honest, it wasn’t Harlem or Brooklyn who showed up to see her, which I understand; Björk is ‘strange fiction.’ It was the usual crew at the Apollo concert; former club kids, angsty white women and entitled hipsters. And of course some of us were in the house. My crew and I represented for all the Black women inspired by her audaciousness, by her work ethic, and by her willingness to make whatever screw face necessary to offer ‘love scholarship’ through song. We cheered from the balcony squinting to experience what looked like an Icelandic ball of glitter performing unapologetically to self-composed electro folk music. I will never forget her relationship with the microphone, dancing around it, stepping away from it, looking into it and making it sing her songs. She’s a beast of a live performer. After the concert I kept thinking about how to build on the energy felt from the experience. So I reached out to Greg Tate, one of the only Black men in my life who loves Bjork as much as I do, to discuss the possibility of the Black Rock Coalition’s involvement in a tribute to Björk, at the Apollo Theater no less. The vision was to have my favorite artists, including Tamar Kali, Joi and Taylor McFerrin, to not so much perform, but interpret her music. I believe that only an original interpretation is possible. A night of Björk covers would never do. Later I decided to hold off on the tribute in fear of not having the resources to do the event justice. One cannot half step when the name Björk is attached to a project and slowly but surely my budget fronted on my vision. While a major tribute event was not possible, I kept thinking of ways to express the impact this creature of an artist has had on my artistic and personal development. I’ve turned to Björk’s music so many times for heart education and the inevitable ‘feeling of feelings’ that happen when you find yourself brave enough to face the dark beauty of a song like ‘Unravel’ from the Homogenic album. For years I’ve waited for whatever it is I am supposed to do with this special place that I hold for her work in my heart. It turned out to be this mix, which was partially inspired by the release of her latest and ninth studio album, Vulnicura. My Black girl Bjork tribe was surprised, maybe even betrayed to learn that I don’t love it. It’s brilliant by default, but part of why I love her so much is because she speaks to lovers wherever they are on their journey, excavating lessons buried deep in the nuanced exchanges between intimate partners in any given space and time. A breakup album felt too obvious for me. Before listening to Vulnicura I had to ask myself if I even had the emotional capacity to hold Björk’s heartbreak this winter? Björk’s triple Scorpio heartbreak? Triple Scorpio? What the hell does it mean to be in partnership with a Björk? She’s always been so perfectly naked or ‘Violently Happy?’ But I listened, hoping that I hadn’t become one of those fans who run away when artists are inspired to drive their work in a different direction? I mean I get it. Sometimes you need something epic, a release, to get the hurt out. Marvin did it brilliantly with “Here My Dear,” Nas even did it with his Post Kelis “Life Is Good” album, and I’m sure there are hundreds of other artists who produced entire projects around mourning, or celebrating the ending of a relationship. And there are jewels all up in and through Vulnicura, don’t get it twisted, I know who she is. But did I miss her impersonal cryptic lyrical finesse?” Yes. And do I understand how honest, brave, vulnerable and musically sound it is? Absolutely. So far there is only one song that I can return to, “Atom Dance” and it too is represented on this mix. I’ll be revisiting ‘Vulnicura’ at a later time, certainly a different season. Maybe my European winter was not the right time? But I trust her and my resistance could have everything to do with where I was when it was released, so leave space for me to retract my underwhelm please? I do, however, credit Vulnicura for sending me back to her catalog with the intention to create a Björk syllabus of sorts. I listened to all of her albums and carefully selected songs that have gotten me through and past IT, that have taken me over and under IT. And because she is such an incredible writer, thinker, feeler, this mix will function like a literature review of her discography, yes, music as text. Get into it. Sending special love to Porter Ferbee, a bonafied scholar who can school you on the time and place of almost every song created under the hand of Björk and to Zetoille, for introducing my 1998 self to Bjork on one late night in San Francisco. And to Dream Hampton who while listening to ‘Vespertine’ is quick to point out the genius of her lyricism, calling attention to the lines that turn your ass in circles. I hope this special compilation honors us all.

Après plus de trois mois d'absence, les éclaireurs sont de retour avec un Peremptoire toujours prêt à prodiguer ses précieux conseils et son expertise pour l'amélioration de ce podcast, Azertoff qui est venu nous éclairer sur la vie, l'univers et le reste et enfin Odevoilette, nouvelle venue dans l'émission qui nous a fait voyager dans l'Allemagne post-industrielle. L'émission a été enregistrée en live sur Freshpods avec le concours technique de Randall Flagg. Une première agréable et rigolote pour cette v2 et qui je l'espère se fera à nouveau. Peremptoire nous a parlé de l'excellente série Brooklin Nine-Nine et nous a aussi offert un tutoriel en chanson pour faire le plus charmant des cadeaux de Saint Valentin à votre compagne ou votre compagnon, sur une interprétation de Justin Timberlake et Adam Samberg. Odevoilette nous emmène dans l'Allemagne des années 70 pour nous parler du groupe Kraftwerk et de la série de concerts qu'ils donnent ces dernières années à travers le monde. Si vous voulez en savoir plus Un documentaire produit par Arte est disponible sur Youtube. Si vous êtes pressés, un Tout est vrai (ou presque) de moins de 3 minutes produit par la même chaîne est aussi disponible. Azertoff nous parle du Guide du Voyageur Galactique, de ses origines et de ses multiples adaptations. Sachez qu'il est possible de trouver l'adaptation française du feuilleton radiophonique originel. Pour ma part, je vous dis un petit mot de Vulnicura, le très beau dernier album de Björk dont on ne trouve rien du tout sur YouTube, sans doute pour des raisons de droit d'auteur. Enfin, vous pouvez retrouver les invités de cette émission : Peremptoire sur Twitter, dans les podcasts 60 secondes, Quid Noviet avec Randall Flagg dans Hors Cadre. Odevoilette est sur Twitter. Azetoff est sur Twitter, à la tête du podcast KoiQisPASS et du compte @PlanningPodcast qui comme son nom l'indique nous informe des live de podcasts à venir. Randall Flagg est sur Twitter, dans les podcasts Quid Noviet avec Peremptoire dans Hors Cadre, aux commandes de Freshpods et en tant qu'illustrateur officiel du podcast indépendant francophone sur Gribouillons.

Bonus qui tabasse les mamies : Terry Crews fait de la musique avec ses pectoraux (mais pas que)

Ryan, Matt, and Rachel listen to and discuss Björk’s “Vulnicura.” Episode 146: Inside of a Björk originally appeared on Overthinking It, the site subjecting the popular culture to a level of scrutiny it probably doesn't deserve. [Latest Posts | Podcast (iTunes Link)]

On our latest podcast, Astra Via’s Jarret Nicolay joins the gang in the basement to talk about the The Phosphorescent Blues, the latest album from prog-grass forerunners Punch Brothers! PLUS! Bjork tells the pirates where they can stick it by officially releasing Vulnicura months before it was due, and new music from much hyped up-and-comer Natalie Prass!

Vad är det som är så roligt med Grotescos hyllade föreställning En näradödenrevy? Hur bra TV är Guldbaggegalan och vann rätt filmer? Håkan Rehnberg ställer ut överraskande målningar på Moderna Museet, i Paris visas hur Markis de Sade påverkat bild- och filmkonst - och så har Björk släppt sitt nya album Vulnicura. Programledare: Gunnar Bolin I veckans Kritiken frågar vi oss vad det egentligen är som är så roligt med Grotescos hyllade föreställning ”En näradödenrevy”. Vi har också sett Guldbaggegalan och frågar oss hur bra TV den är, som gala betraktat, samt – förstås – om rätt filmer vann. På Moderna Museet öppnade i helgen en utställning med nya överraskande verk av målaren och skulptören Håkan Rehnberg. Kritiken har träffat honom för att  tala konst, kritik och förändring. Musée d´Orsay i Paris har i vinter visat en utställning om Markis de Sade och hans påverkan på främst bild- och filmkonst. Är 1700-talets syn på förnedring, smärta och sexualitet aktuell än idag? Dessutom lyssnar vi på Björks nya album Vulnicura. Medverkande: Sven Hugo Persson, dramaturg på Dramaten i Stockholm och flitig författare av kupletter och revynummer. Mikael Timm, kritiker på Sveriges Radios kulturredaktion Sofia Lilly Jönsson, musikkritiker på Svenska Dagbladet. Programledare Gunnar Bolin Bisittare Anneli Dufva Producent Karsten Thurfjell
