I feel the Big Guys aren’t getting enough attention on this site, what with all the obscure music we present you with. In honor of this, I’ve initiated a series: B-sides. This will showcase obscure songs by famous bands. Fairly obvious, one would think. We begin with Bjork, our favorite Icelandic goddess.

Had I entered the Said the Gramophone Wonderful Video Contest, I would have chosen this song as my entry. Its strange, simple, full of flutes, and it reminds me of an experimental british detective film from the seventies. Its the scene where the gendarme has to take off his hat to enter the garden and proceeds to walk through a seemingly endless hedge garden, catching glimpses of a nude woman having tea, long brown hair covering her face. And when he finally finds his way out of the maze, there is no nude woman, only an old lady having tea by herself.

And over his shoulder, a curtain moves in the upstairs window of a british house, and we see a glimpse of long brown hair and her large eyes.
