Happy Birthday, Björk Guðmundsdóttir!

Here's to the future, your inimitably brilliant career-so-far, your innovation, your beauty (both physical and musical), your wit, your love and care for the environment and your home country, your eloquence, your fashion, your vulnerability, your superb acting in Dancer in the Dark, your advancement of opinions about women, genius, composing and the musical auteur, and above all your musical works of brutal honesty and beauty and their genuine and exquisite tension between beauty and pain. Oh and for the swan dress: a dress so genius in its bonkerness that it caused more upset and controversy than all of Lady GaGa's outfits ever, combined.

You go, gurrrl.
