Bjork at London Record Shop

[@dfpguitar]

I think everyone wants a partner who looks at them the way Bjork looks at record store man.

[@kr5588]

Yes!

[@davidenriquez3464]

At that record store she was living in the moment and so in tune with the guy and what he had to say. But she momentarily hit the pause button on her fame, & was really receptive to what the guy was saying. This was a really down to earth vibe.

[@Nedroj]

You dont?

[@maratonlegendelenemirei3352]

He should have told her "Erm, I get off at around half past five. Perhaps we could meet up for a drink then, if you are not too busy?"

Yes there’s an interview from when she was in the sugar cubes I think n she says she learnt watching movies

I read years ago in Q that the accent she has here developed after she moved to London and in particular was influenced a lot by the accent belonging to her kid's childminder, who was from Ealing.

[@tjenglish7036]

her english teachers growing up could have been english. That causes people to pronounce things with a slight english accent, or she learned from tv and movies

[@mikesaunders4775]

Can't hear any Scottish(who are British too), but a lot of 'street' London. Mainland Scandinavians often lose their accents when speaking English due to contact with popular culture. The Icelanders speak a grammatically more complex language than their Nordic kinsmen, and tend to speak English with a stronger accent. Bjork has lived in London (like a lot of young Icelanders) and picked up the local accent.

I was once handing out leaflets for a show on a street near the theatre. Bjork appeared and she seemed to think I was waiting for her and I just gave her a flier. It was an awkward moment but she was nice enough. That's actually happened more than once. If you give a famous person with a flier for a show they tend to assume it is directed at them and not that you are giving them to everyone.
