Well, I guess you had to be in the UK when that whole Sugarcubes thing
took off to really appreciate her (or at least not come out with
ridiculous statements like the one above).

I'm on no Bjork butt-licking mission here. I've bought loads of Bjork,
loads of Mira Calix and enjoy them both. If you want to restrict your
tastes, then that's your lookout.

But let's look at what we've got -- two Mira Calix 10-inches on Warp
(plus a compilation appearance) produced by Booth/Brown and Clifford
against a whole stack of Bjork productions handled by Graham Massey,
808 State, Mark Bell, Tim Simenon, Plaid, Black Dog, Funkstorung,
Tricky, etc.
