“Stick Around for Joy” is one of the first cds that I ever owned. It was released in 1992, which was probably near the high point of  popularity for the Sugarcubes, in the US. ’92 was also the year that they broke up. It obviously didn’t slow Bjork down. In fact, in my opinion, she was getting rid of the dead weight. The music was good. But the male vocals were just a little too reminiscent of Fred Schneider of the B-52s (i.e. purely obnoxious). Nonetheless, in 1992, I had no notion of a solo Bjork, so I jammed to the Sugarcubes. I have always loved something about Bjork. I think that part of it, is that she is completely crazy. I also dig her little Icelandic accent. Plus, I think that it is cool that we are practically nieghb’s, now. That whole weird movie that she did a couple of years ago with her boyfriend was also mostly shot locally (in a big warehouse with green screens) Hahahaha. Anyway, here is a cool track from “Stick Around for Joy.” Try to ignore the Fred Schneider-guy and just pay attention Bjork’s cuteness. The track is called “Lucky Night.” Give it a spin.

Mike and I saw them on that tour- it was when we’d first started dating.
