Bjork Volta Contest, Gigs, Links

There is a lot going on now! The release of Volta is in full swing and thus things are stirred and wheels are whirred into motion! - There's a contest over at IMEEM for US fans; Enter the Björk Poster Design Contest for a chance to win a trip for two to see Björk LIVE @ Shoreline Amphitheatre on May 19th in Mountain View, CA (including flights, hotel, and 2 passes!). In addition, 2000 Limited Edition posters of the winning design will be printed and handed out at the show. - Nothing can be confirmed for a second single, but we hear that Michel Gondry and Björk are throwing ideas at each other.

But I found Volta... I don't recall how it came about, but I Googled it and found that it is both the name of a scientist in Italy who invented the battery and also a river in Africa which had been built by men and a lagoon built by men called Lake Volta So several parts come into it I...
