Musical Musings

Why did no one tell me that Björk is like, really good? I decided that I ought to give her a spin after I biked past her humble little house by the coast in Iceland. Also, fun fact—  Björk (“birch” in swedish/icelandic) isn’t a stage name, it’s just her first name. Her last name is Guðmundsdóttir, which means daughter of Guðmundur, her father’s name. This patrynomic naming system used by all Icelanders puts much less importance on the last name, so most Icelanders just go by their first names (there’s no “Mr.” or “Mrs.”). But this isn’t my abroad blog. Jóga is (partially) about Icelandic beauty. Listen and enjoy.
