This piece of news was great for me to hear because I love love (times infinity) love Björk because her voice is absolutely phenomenal and she’s always musically daring. However, I do not have tickets to see any of her NY shows (insert sad face).
It’s such a pleasure to hear that NPR Music and WNYC will have a live stream of one of Björk’s NY performances. The May 5th United Palace show will be streamed live via www.NPR.org/music. WNYC will also have an encore broadcast (on the radio and on the web at WNYC.org) on Monday, May 14th @ 7 p.m. EST.

You can check out the official video for Björk’s first single, “Earth Intruders,” off of her upcoming album, Volta, at her myspace or on youtube. Also, check out a recent interview with Björk on Music For Robots.

Here’s her SNL performance of “Earth Intruders”:
