Ah, now this is the kind of Björk story we like to report. Nary a torn shirt in sight. Just a remix-laden single for "Earth Intruders", the thunderous leadoff track from last spring's Volta. It's available from One Little Indian, who will ship the "double pack" by February 4.

And what an early Valentine's Day gift it'll be! You and/or your sweetie can nab the heavyweight vinyl 12" version featuring four remixes of "Earth Intruders" from the likes of Spank Rock's Armani XXXchange, Jimmy Douglas, Lexx, and Mark Stent or the CD version, featuring all that plus a radio edit of the Lexx mix and a DVD of the Michel Ocelot-directed clip for the song. Who needs the roses and chocolate when you've got a blippy anthem of interplanetary invasion?

One Little Indian is only making up 10,000 of these sets, so you'd better switch your intrusion target to dad's wallet, and pronto. And, hey, while you're at it, why not score yourself some plane tickets to any one of the exotic locales Björk will be playing over the next few months? I won't tell if you won't.
