Bjork Needs a New Local!

According to Page Six, Icelandic sister from another planet was hanging out with friends at Gavin Brown's Passerby bar Saturday when:

"the festivities soon soured when K.A.I., trying to amuse his cohorts, lamely put a champagne bucket on his head and accidentally drenched everyone in the party with frigid water... The soaked Bjork and [friend] Gabi promptly left in a huff."

This isn't the first time Bjork's had problems at Brown's disco-floored Chelsea bar. As writer Thomas Beller recounted in 2001:

After the show, a small group gathers at Passerby, a Chelsea bar, to celebrate. There are a lot of Icelanders there, and Neville Wakefield, the Photography curator who mans the toll booth on the bridge between art and fashion in the world of photography, and Bjork s boyfriend, Matthew Barney, another medium-mixing, shape shifting specialist.

[...]

The sound of breaking glass is an arresting sound, and in this context I momentarily wonder if this is some kind of Icelandic tradition: After you play your first show with your new band, debut all new material from forthcoming record, and retire to small closed off bar to celebrate, it is customary to throw multiple glasses against the wall.

But no, some stranger has simply gone nuts. For a minute the air is full of glass, then the guy is forcibly ejected; he proceeds to pelt the bar s window with rocks and stones until he shatters the whole thing. Amidst all the flying glass I glimpse Bjork s face, a mixture of incredulity and bemusement. She is cool under pressure. It s another unnatural disaster, a Volcanic eruption on the landscape s surface. One gets the feeling she s seen plenty. Then it is over, the cops come (instead of arresting the culprit, they pragmatically negotiate the handing over of his credit card to the bar), and Bjork and everyone else start dancing again on the broken glass.

This sort of thing never happens at Cheers, Bjork.
