Björk: HIPSTER TRY HARD!!!!!! LOL, joke.

Björk has been doing a very good deed: holding a karaoke marathon in aid of Iceland reclaiming their natural resources (what were sold to Sweden when they had a financial meltdown). They needed 35,000 signatures for their petition to be seriously considered by the government and they got 46,000! GO QUEEN B!

Above is Björk is singing Joy Division's hipstergoth anthem "Love Will Tear Us Apart" because she's so trendy it hurts. No, but seriously. The whole karaoke shebang was called "Declare Independence" after her 2007 ANTHEM of the same name. Fun fact:
The contest... was held during the Icelandic holiday of Threttandinn – which according to folklore is where elves and magical creatures come out to party alongside humans. It’s been rumored that numerous elves were seen dancing while Björk performed... (Source)
Yes, if you come from Iceland, not only do you get to do karaoke with Björk in order to save the country, and live under a lesbian feminist as your leader (if ONLY one of these were at the forefront of England), you also get to celebrate a public holiday centred around dancing magic elves. Truly the greatest country ever.
