The Epic Voice That is Björk
Several of my friends think Björk is just plain weird. A few even dare say she can't sing a note's worth. I beg to differ. Her voice is epic as is her writing talent. It's sometimes hard to remember how amazing her voice is when you take a hiatus from her records. They're not exactly easy to hum so they don't get stuck in your head. However as soon as you listen again, a cold front quickly shoots up your spine down your arms making each hair prickle.
This video was taken from the excellent Screaming Masterpiece documentary.

The Ghetto Blaster For The iPod Generation
Ghetto blasters never really made a comeback because audio sources have moved to external devices, not to mention how ungodly they looked. So an industrial designer name Dirk Winkel (love his name) envisaged a new ghetto blaster, comfortable to wear and compatible with any iPod-like device called the Nu Blaster.
The head of the blaster provides space for a large bass speaker while the long narrow end serves as a bass reflux tube. The curved shape makes it ergonomic to sport on your shoulder while the strap makes transport easy.
Too bad it's concept only. Hit the jump for another picture.

Steed Lord Is 4 Kinds Of Crazy Hotness
Iceland has officially completed my trifecta of musical domination; Björk, Sigur Ros, and now Steed Lord. Their sound can be best described as underground but even that adjective fails to do them justice. They're like some crazy concocted drink made up of 80's hip-hop, house, electronica, rave with just a touch of Vanilla Ice. I may be late in discovering them but I promise to make up for lost time.
For all of you curious what a group that looks like that sounds like, hit up their MySpace music page to pinch a sample.
