Bjork Makes Antony Giggle

And other random Bjork news:

Firstly, she will be the special musical guest on SNL come April 21st. Scarlett Johansson will be hosting the show.

Secondly, this week she sat down with XM Radio and discussed her upcoming video for Volta's first single, 'Earth Intruders. Here's a snippet of the interview: It's sort of a justice song. Like, "we want justice NOW" song. So I ended up feeling "how on earth am I gonna do that visually?"... and I ended up finding an animator who's French, but he was brought up in Africa, and did gorgeous cartoons, for example one called Kirikou.

I just think he portrays people with dark skin in a very on-level sort of way that is very equal. It's not like the colony style that I think Africans are exhausted with, kind of like "oh, I'll kill the tiger and put its head on my wall", like it's an exotic creature or something. I mean, me being from Iceland, I've never seen an elf in my life, but still 20 years later, everybody calls me "elfin" or whatever. So basically, Michel Ocelot is doing the video to this one. And it's animated. And it's about the Earth Intruders.

That clip should gets its premiere within the next two weeks.

Lastly, the songstress has just released her first podcast in accordance with Volta. It can be viewed (via YouTube) HERE. And it's great.
