Death From Above 1979 - Black History Month

[cdjones19]

was that K-OS in the bathroom?

[RockinRowdyRoberto]

Wow! I never noticed that. You're damn right it is! :)

[SeanyDrums]

none were better, both equal, amazing.

[KINGTHRILLAH]

Keeler was the better of the 2. MSTRKRFT ftw.

[mrtictac94]

the bit with the bloke at the piano just reminds me of the killers

not just the look, they sound similar too

[wilcarlie]

I meant Rupert and Cornelius

[wilcarlie]

This video was amazingggggggg

They remind of Rupert and Cornlius

[hillbillyrock66]

i think it may be 'blood on our hands' that won awards but i may be mistaken , still awesome song, amazing band

[hillbillyrock66]

i think it was 'blood on our hands' that won awards, but i may be mistaken

[juiced102]

I'm really not sure why this won an award. Anyone care to enlighten me?

[wheels117]

just because you dont like the song dosen't mean other people dont. unless your talking about the video then i don't know why it won an award

[juiced102]

It was a video award.

[wheels117]

well i have no how they won one

[radiohock]

Absolute tuuuuuneeeee. (Y)

[Ninja121]

Is it just me or does the song volume come in incredibly low.

[ohgoodlord]

I want more stuff from them, but sadly...

[thetoddbertuzzi]

man that looks like k-os in the bathroom. prob not though. yeah theese guys hated eachother when they were together. thats why they broke up. and because of MSTRKRFT. one of my favourite bands of all time.

[theMaritimer96666666]

i heard a rumor that they MIGHT get back together, it only a rumor, but i hope it true, it be sweet if they got back together, i miss these dudes

[narutothedobe]

they so need to get back together

[lainey500]

like the instrumental 30 secs at the end

[husikamravedojo]

trippy ? no

[halo22555]

the remix of this is betta

[skilmaster33]

SUCH a trippy song

[ToadiAcceleratio]

...no it isn't. O_o

[pliouso]

yeah i agree, it really isn't a trippy song lol

[neroxero]

omigod man. why did they split? such great sound!

[KROMO50]

great song found these guys on Von Zipper Website

[seanymo90]

sammy danger remix of this is sick!

[StkKillaZ]

J.F.K... will you have my baby?

[elrico]

R.I.P.... bleh

[superboxyo1234]

lol i think J.F.K. kinda looks like John Bonham from zeppelin

[chrispodboy]

what brought that up?

[kingofhearts589]

He means Jesse F. Keeler, not John F Kennedy. I agree with you though, he's a shmuck for not realizing what he wrote

[Adam080]

lol quick k-os cameo in there

[Thelittlesteskimo]

snowboarding to this is heavenn.......i love this song forever

[zarigunn]

jfk = favorite

[SezSays]

so far ahead of their time. I cant believe this songs about 10 years old. HOW SEXY IS THAT?!?!!

I didnt know they made music videos too. Gold!

[e6o]

Idiots for breaking up, some of my favourite tunes of all time. I'll hold out hope that they'll reconsile, who knows, sure Take That did it!

i'll get my coat ;(

[sophiekosack2]

hahaha "i'll get my coat"

the fast show is ultimate.

DFA were so good. i just wish i saw a live show.

[CGY420]

Ya but now JFK is part of MSTRKRFT and they are ALOT more successful

[brjohnson2008]

is it just me or does dfa have some pretty bland and pointless videos?

[moffdawg]

Yes. In comparison to the majority of videos out there, their videos are very bland and pointless.

[mrcham2u]

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't this song about "white flight" of inner cities following desegregation? I can't hate i like the beat for some reason but as for the rest of the song i hope i'am wrong but i doubt it :/

[Jeremiahsauce]

Such a shame they broke up. :\

[miessau0]

This song's pretty awesome.

[overtheflats]

I think so too. Great song

[brownsugaXcore]

its called black history month

because the song was wrote in febuary in which black history month falls upon

[MacAndre86]

Hm. Makes sense.

[slimbadvic]

its a fucking tune you bunch of dick munchers

[Rayun]

LOL

[JubalElohim]

Don't forget bout Japanther who have been doin the Bass and Drum thing since 2001 or so. Their shows are simply unforgettable.

[luckybro415]

if you guys like DFA you'll like PRISMATICA

they are also just DRUM and BASS

[elmackerton]

no stop saying that

[foalslover]

manchmal merkt man erst wie gut etwas war wenn es verdammt nochmal nicht mehr da ist ... SCHEIßE

[sebastiandaley]

what a confusing music video

[FunKADunK]

What a dope riff.

[JinxedOut]

Let's make love to death from above.

[MacAndre86]

Haha. CSS! Cool.

[TheScorpioRose]

LOVE this song!

[libertines17]

quality,the remix is so much better though

[goddamnhero]

jfk also was in that band femme fatale, pretty much all the bands hes been in are completely different!!

[fogoverflame]

wait, WHAT?

[LesToetieFav]

thanks! I am gonna check it out

but this isn't what I meant.. cause it doesn't ring that bell- there was a nother band/project right after they split and I don't know which one of the two guys it was.. but thanks anyway :)

[LesToetieFav]

love DFA - I should get all they put out :,)

what's that other band the one guy had after DFA though.. any good?

[TMP984]

The "band" is MSTRKRFT, and they are beyond good, but don't expect them to sound like DFA1979.

Mstrkrft is more electro-house, and most of their records are remixes.

Worth a listen thou, if your not the type to limit your music to "genre"

[rack12321rack]

the other group is called mstrkrft

[BF2FreakZed]

HOLD ON HOLD ON DFA IS LEAVING :(

[negromancer]

This song was named "Black History Month" do to the fact that it was written in February.

Looking into the lyrics of the song to find some type of connotation to the name of this particular song is useless, there is none.

[negromancer]

That being said, this song rocks

[BunyipBlueEyes]

Sounds like it's about white flight and the decay of detroit to me.

[asthmapuppy]

Due.

[gruggster]

still amazing

[Webbula]

The guy singing looks just like Buck 65

[Z0mbieKangar00]

is it just me, or does there bassist look like dave grohl?

awesome band much

[cardigraph]

I agree, he does look like Grohl.

[kristaannashley]

DFA WILL NEVER DIE!!!

[sheilaserio]

i just got introduced to this band...i love them!

[aldointerstellar]

This is a good song if you're trying to learn the bass or guitar riffs. If you can play this riff and sing the song, you're on your way! I haven't gotten it down yet. It's hard to stay on rhythm! Love Death From Above.

[crazytaz4]

wtf does that even mean sventwelve

[mistarcraw]

sounds like a song about someone's perspective on white flight

[ADRIANAWANTSME]

fucking hot canadians.

[jibsjaystunescgy]

FINALLY!!! ~GOOD MUSIC~!!!!!

[ghostbustthat1]

the fact that two guys can make such amazing music is incredable! Death from above rules!

[TitanSound]

Fuck yeah...now that's music.

[dincuss]

this song = kickass

[heartshapedglasses0]

i agree.

he looks exactly like buck 65

[eyelashesonearth]

this song made my cry once because it was so good

[penestroika]

how come the singer looks that much like Buck65??!!

[Koollguy26]

awsome song

[aaalo123]

fuck! glorious !!!

[Cupk8]

His voice is absolutely amazing.

[paxyl]

Awesome band, top song

[sbswd]

There should be around 300 less comments on this kickass video.

[elisbagofhorrors]

i agree with this dude, this vid kick ass

[fk3fk3e]

cool band

[redbeard222]

their Canadians....

[Annjamen]

fuckin hot

[DJZanderfish]

Death From Above is dead unfortunately

[Scizzors]

Sweet song

[FygeApoDoReVromokole]

fuck yea. great duo. dunno why they disbanded. =/

[Anonymous19019]

I love how people have turned this song into a political, cultural argument.

You guys fucking suck.

[maniacbastard]

I like to eat chips and taters.

It is too bad that Death From Above is no longer together.

I like this song. It makes me happy. I like to be happy.

I liked the song little girl too. Did you check out CSS's song about making love and listening to death from above?

You should, it is a great song. Other songs like pull out are great tunes even if they are about doing, well I'll let you figure that out.

I like to eat cat food sometimes.

[thrawn79]

k srry i just came on here to listen and watch some DFA. did someone start whining about the title? or close to whining?. If i had a friggin loonie for everytime the race card is played falsely i could buy the world. OHHH P.S. My anscestors were buried and gassed by the hundreds of thousands during WW2....WTF did they do??? they shutup and saved their money ohhh man im gonna play the its cause im jewish card now lol.  srry dont mean to rant!:) enjoy the DFA or fuck off!

[jdc8000]

nic

[nicosoup]

LMAO... figures that a song named Black History Month would spark yet another debate on racism. Lol... the first thing i see in the comments is a spew about blacks... c'mon guys... i just wanted to watch a DFA music video.. lol.. only on youtube

[anundecidedarm]

lol i feel ya. 90% of youtube are a bunch of haters. its the internet ya nkow? hating is their hobbies.

[GUNBLAZER109]

why does everyone have to be racist against others? seriously people...GROW THE FUCK UP!!! this is a nice song by the way!!

[alphanumericMan]

great song, romantic rights is also really good

[EllYouSeeWhy]

HA how did it come to this ey? (:

[Skoiner101]

You came to this cuz it Feckin owns BEtch

[maxymyllyon]

too bad they broke up

[Kaizen666]

Wow, and here I thought I'd go to this page to check out the video to a pretty good song. Youtube debate is unsurprisingly idiotic, and this along with the other youtube trolling fucktards prove the internet is a good place for the intellectually dim.

[garzaeduardo]

what u talking talkin bout,willis?

[Iamnotyourmom]

You know what would be great? If everyone stopped having a hissy fit about the whole "race" thing and enjoyed the bloody song.

[boreTV]

that would be great!

[AngryKid06]

Right on Brotha! lol....seriously though he/shes got a point...

[sheepxgoxbah]

guys does it really matter? I think everyone just went off a tangent there.

[yourself2036]

I have no comment about black vs white but i do think this song is awesome!

[TheCama]

great song.

[hxcglamoury]

love it

[Fischerspoonraff]

If you love DFA 1979 like I do then you will go to mysapace(dot)com/sebastiengrai­nger

Trust me, this isn't spam this is just the "link" to Sebastien's new project.

Enjoy. :)

[smurfo2]

ahh!it sucks that they broke up wdf...i only got to see them once to={

[flyer892007]

consider yourself lucky, i never got to see them :(

[Nick5379]

flyer892007, I feel your pain T_T

[moreofadrian]

yeah i hate that they broke up i only got to see them once

[CCB911]

your lucky, some of us didn't get to see them at all

[moreofadrian]

sry bout that mate didnt mean to rub it in but we can both agree that they need to get back together

[1Delphine]

does anyone know how i could get this video-clip free for an english task?

[ToplessArt]

You should be able to download the video elsewhere on the Internet for free

[mwizak]

dunno if its too late but with real player you can download all videos on you tube. :)

[brendonwife]

I

WANT

THEM

BACK

DFA1979 for ever.

[MusicISgood925]

well just in case in one cares ole sebastien is goin solo and its Like Fucking... Fucking when i hear that shit i almost blew a load just yesterday. haha jk but really look at his myspace .

[blackbassist]

the song is named black history month cause it was written in february.

dunno if anyone said that yet..but whatever.

[Wellsedatednow]

I'm lovin' the unique sound.

[robokate2000]

I want them back!

[ADRIANAWANTSME]

i'm sooooooo turned on

[Frankstah99]

Saw them live on Lowlands... 2005 i reckon.

Great band.

[AkiMega]

my hometown kids! East York! HoLLA!

[Kilmo7]

ahah this song has nothing to do with history of african americans ..

[jovevancil]

come back!!!

[limesox]

Very true!

1979 is in my sn for aim and people think its for this band, and while i love them.. its for the pumpkins song.

[conmanvh]

I love this band :) too bad they broke up :( ive still got one album to treasure though :)

[xkissax13]

It sucks the have broked up :(

[suicidegoose]

Can anyone tell me why they have 1979 at the end of their name?

[dtj16]

he reason for the seemingly arbitrary date of 1979 comes from Sebastien Grainger's birth date. From Sebastien's perspective, this is what it stood for: "1979 is the year of my birth, 1979 is the year of Off the Wall, 1979 is the year of Pleasure Principle, 1979 is the last year of the last cool decade, 1979 is scratched into my arm, 1979 is scratched into my arm, 1979 is scratched into my fucking arm." He also stated in an interview given to MTV

[suicidegoose]

cool, thanks!

[popekilroy]

Also because of a legal battle with James Mupheys lable Death From Above records hos lawers made them change it. Thats why DFA had a massive fude with LCD soundsystem.

[nag67]

wikipedia FTL

[scarryterry]

When naming the band, they found there was another band with that name. So they added the 1979, being the year they were born.

[ChrisJC85]

I heard it was to do with Apocalypse Now, the chopper has 'Death From Above' written on the side and the movie came out in 1979. Thats what I was led to believe.

[EtcEtcAndEtc]

fuck the racists, you give humanity a bad name. crawl off and die you pathetic blindfolded fuckpig of a nazi.

[Rats2323]

You white power enthusiasts are everything wrong with the world. You give us a bad fucking name.

Shut the fuck up. Here dawns a new day. We are equal. Deal with it.

[D4ni31]

rofl

[LovelyDarkness14]

i love this fucking band! awesome fucking band!

:( too bad they broke up

[tortuga2233]

i love this song and band

[ohhLIZx]

This song is amazing. (L)

[elementaldivers]

brilliant!

death from above has/had some of the best basslines in their music

[macr0sick]

could be because all he plays is bass. but yes i agree.

[blackfox51]

They probably were the best band that only incorporated 2 people and had such a short run.

[NMArschkeks]

there's many other cool bands with just two members, but they're amongst the best yeah

[blairee]

amazing amazing amazing

don't care for the video

but the band was super fucking talented

[samnectar]

this band is awful, really reallly terrible, someone actually signed this shit?

[gobbleykins]

No actually they were indie ahaha, so they probably didn't get "signed" per se.

[XmummraX]

i hate ppl who make negative comments on youtube. if you dont like what you see then fuck right off and stop the stupid abuse.

[dtla1730]

I don't understand bands of artists that COME together when they end hating eachother so badly. Makes no sense. Within about :10 I can pretty much tell when I'm standing in front of someone I might try to choke out one day.

[Harps0578]

cos your n00b

[kmitsu1]

ladies, please.

do it elsewhere.

[PinkElephantsx2]

does puting them donw make you feel better about your shitty little life?.20$ says your a emo wank who doent know who thay are

[kciNJNadon]

R.I.P. DFA1979

[ALCUS52]

oh, a real street dweller here.. What's wrong with the suburbs trash? And for that matter, give me one good reason why this band is "the idiots band", yeah a GOOD reason.

[xX4P47HYXx]

I don't like this as much as the MSTRKRFT remix version. It's more dancable.

[xxravenxx94]

sebastion is the drummer in the k-os vid sunday morning

[HeartandtheSynapse]

I honestly don't think I will ever get sick of this song, no matter ho many times I listen to it in this lifetime, it will always be as amazing as it was the first time I heard it, along w/ Death From Above 1979 themselves.

[tortuga2233]

i agree

[xxravenxx94]

they do have ego problems though(don'y bash me)in an interveiw the bassist said that the reason they split up was because there ego's were to big and they couldn't stand eachother
