Alas, not an eclectic cover of the Lady Gaga hit by Antony and Iceland’s favourite songstress,* but an ACTUAL REAL CONVERSATION on a telephone. In case you haven’t popped over to the Graun’s music site this morning, the paper’s captured a call between the pair in which they range over a number of subjects, including science & the enlightenment, nature & climate change, and the colonisation of other planets. Fascinating stuff!

The call is also up as part of Antony’s takeover of the Guardian’s music coverage for this week.

The Guardian: When Antony phoned Björk: ‘People make bad decisions when their ship is sinking’

*Although I think we can all agree that would be both wonderous and magnificent.

Antony & The Johnsons’ latest, Swanlights is streaming over at the Graun and also at NPR’s First Listen. Haven’t had a chance to have a go of this yet, but it’s bound to be something pretty exciting – and typically challenging. Keep an eye on the Graun’s music site as they’ll be turning the editing chair over to Antony for a week, beginning 11th October.
