Is It Hard to Get Into Music That's Not in Your Own Language?
I'm a fan of the Icelandic band Sigur Rós, and have especially enjoyed their newest album, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust. But as much as I like them, they don't tend to get as much iPod love from me as other artists do, and I think it might be because I don't understand the lyrics to a lot of their songs (did you know the Icelandic language is a North Germanic language descended from Old Norse? I love Wikipedia).

Variety's Women's Impact Report: Bjork
Every year, Variety issues their Women's Impact Report in which they highlight women in the entertainment industry that they think deserve some praise. From industry executives (like United Artists bigwig Paula Wagner) to household names (like Angelina Jolie), the list spotlights some strong, smart, fascinating ladies.
For the past few Wednesdays I've sung the praises of filmmaker Adrienne Shelly, Tina Fey, and J.K.

Vote for Your Favorite Bjork Video
Back in April, I told you that Bjork was hosting a music video contest, where fans could submit their very own visual accompaniments to "Innocence," a song on Bjork's new album, Volta. Now, the videos are now being uploaded for viewing here — currently, there are seven, but the site promises 10 total — and when all the movies are up, fans can vote on their favorites.
Anything but amateurish, every entry interprets the song differently, using all sort of assorted styles of animation.
"House" Recap: Episode 23, "The Jerk"
Man, who wasn't a jerk on "House" last night? At least the title wasn't meant just for House, as he had to take on a whiny, angry teenage patient who definitely gave House a run for his money. (If "personality disorder" is really a symptom, couldn't House have been diagnosed with every disease in the book by now?) Meanwhile, Foreman still insists he's leaving, but someone sabotages his chances by canceling a job interview.
