That's cheating (a bit)

I went the electronic music festival Sonar back in 2003 in which she headlined. Managed to cadge a lift to the venue from two Bjork fans who’d bought tickets just for her. Me and a friend were talking about all the other weird experimental stuff on the bill, esp Aphex Twin who was playing after her. They didn’t seem interested in that, just Bjork. Can’t remember much of their input, Big Time Sensuality was their favourite Bjork song, I remember that. We immediately lost each other on arrival and I didn’t see them until the were leaving a little bit into AFX’s set. They looked utterly traumatised and shellshocked by AFX and they were leaving in terror at his antics. I asked if they enjoyed Bjork and they shook their heads and one of them said in horrified bewilderment, ‘she didn’t even play It’s Oh So Quiet…’

Not among Nick Cave fans, though. It's not even the most famous song off that album. That would have to be Stagger Lee.
Reno
The In Kraut
I‘m not a Nick Cave fan and it’s the only song of his I know the title of. Duets with mainstream pop stars are also few and far between among his work, I guess.

Shame his Vengaboys collaboration got shelved
I didn't off the top of my head, I had thought they'd had more number ones. But Wikipedia put me right.How would you even know that

Someone played Hyperballad at Printworks the other week and the bass was insane.

That, and Special Request’s Spectral, were songs of the night for me.
Really? They and Take That were the pre-eminent boy bands of the early to mid 90s, and Stay Another Day gets wielded out every Christmas.

Goodness, I can't imagine what has passed me by and why.
