Okay, so I don't think that we can too much jump straight to too many specifics here. Any old crust punk kids here? Anarcho peace punk kids? Well. DIY philosophy folks!!! This song is a little sign Bjork is holding up in her own special loud and proud way. It's like saying, "Well, hello. . ." Bjork is an old time punk herself. Hell, she even recorded on Crass' record label back in the day, right? Touring with them and bands like Dirt? She was in a band called KUKL and she squatted in Berlin back in da day. So, anyway. The punks. . .it's the anticonsumerist lifestyle. Not diggin' the establishment much. DIY ethic fits in right along there. Good ol' Wikipedia: """The DIY ethic refers to the ethic of self-sufficiency through completing tasks oneself, as opposed to having others who are more experienced or able complete them on one's behalf. Literally meaning "do it yourself," it promotes the idea that an ordinary person can learn to do more than just what he or she may have thought was possible. Naturally, a DIY attitude requires that the adherent attain as well as retain the knowledge required to complete a given task. Without this, DIY is an ineffective dogma. The term can refer to "doing" anything at all, including home improvements and repairs, first aid, or even creative endeavors. Central to the ethic is the empowerment of individuals and communities, encouraging the employment of alternative approaches when faced with bureaucratic or societal obstacles to achieving their objectives. Rather than belittling or showing disdain for knowledge or expertise, DIY champions the average individual seeking knowledge and expertise for him/herself. Instead of using the services of others who have expertise, a DIY-oriented person would seek out the knowledge for him/herself.""" And Bjork says all this awesome shit in a way that is very beautiful and gets straight at the heart. Love her. . . <3 gooday. |
