DiS is excited...

We're off to see Björk on Thursday, but Jude Rogers of our sister site The Lipster was at her first of three (London) Hammersmith Apollo shows last night to deliver a pretty tasty-looking setlist.

The Lipster enjoyed a week of exclusive Björk content last week - if you missed it, click here.

Last night's setlist...

'Earth Intruders'
'Hunter'
'Unravel'
'Hope' (with Toumani Diabate)
'The Pleasure Is All Mine'
'Dull Flame Of Desire' (with Antony Hegarty)
'Joga'
'Vertebrate by Vertebrate'
'Where Is The Line'
'Desired Constellation'
'Army Of Me'
'Innocence'
'Who Is It'
'Vökuro'
'Wanderlust'
'Hyperballad'
'Pluto'

Encore:

'The Anchor Song'
'Declare Independence'

Look out for a 'top-ten' feature on Björk later today featuring contributions from both m'self and editor of t'other new DiS-sibling website The Quietus, John Doran.

Leila "supported"

Also - i don't remember her playing "Where Is The Line" - but she was on 5 minutes late so may have cut it.

Leila was weird

I didn't quite get it, and thought most people were standing around going WTF... but at least they just wheeled her stuff off and Bjork was pretty prompt getting on :o)

last night

Having Mark Bell from LFO doing the beats and bass for Bjork was amazing. I thought having Matmos with her last time couldnt be beat but hearing the thunderous rendition of 'Declare Independence' or the way 'Hyperballad' mixed into LFO's 'Freak' convinced me otherwise.
