9. Björk – Homogenic
She was kind of my first true obsession. I had a Björk website where I just typed out all her lyrics. Even though you could find them other places, I wanted them on my website. This was when the internet was different, so it just curated pictures of Björk, lyrics, and a list my favorite Björk websites. I was just obsessed with her whole world.
What was the website called?
Oh god, I’m not going to say. It’s a long saying. It’s so embarrassing, like telling someone your AOL screen name.
Why were you obsessed?
I was not interested in having the body that I had, having the sexuality that I had. I would come to own it a little more. But I was not into being where I lived, being around the people I was around. And she just seemed like she made her own world on top of the world that we’re already on. And I wanted to go there.
