Dirty Projectors w/ Bjork 05.08.09

[maximus50238]

its interesting how this is an early version of it! there are many differences in this performance from the recorded version. so cool. even slightly different words!

[100JamesX]

off with his head, if i hear another mentioning about pop corn

[ultimatev17]

I cant even enjoy this because of the kids screaming about popcorn. I imagine its amazing in HQ. Tuneyards is amazing.

[dsmogor]

dude, I envy you so much it hurts.

[jwalky1]

its okay but I like the tuneyards much more

[wiwililaitraipetit]

one concert, 100 poeple in public= 10 video on iphone

[forwardrawrof]

The projectors are dirty with the information they have on you all.

This is another one of those "collaborative efforts" to bring certain elements in society to the forefront and track them there-afterward.

Like stereolab and many others they are out there to round up the ones

society fears.

[Adamqc309]

Wow not digging this at all..what a let down :(

[Dominic078]

what song is this? its amazing

[Joshuamurrayrobinson]

I LOVE how happy Amber looks when she is singing! Makes me happy too.

[PorroFirst]

20 years from now.. when the hipster culture is gone and buried, I will STILL love the Dirty Projectors. You know why? Because they make great MUSIC.

[skippyrandom]

grow up guys, there's good music playing on this page

[looseele]

I have to admit the guitarist was a real downer, but I LOVE this song!

[0x0x0Sarita0x0x0]

lots of negativity zorgitron.....

it's Youtube... this video is really not worth getting worked up and angry about.

[communistfriend]

Oh goddd what I wouldn't do to have been there! Perfecttt

[zorgitron]

@imsohoodphab It's good to be knowledgeable about something before you hate it, right? And you DO like to troll, because you counter-comment anyone who says anything bad about this music. That is why I keep posting. If you just come on here to listen, then don't reply to any of my comments! Just let everyone read them so they may become enlightened :)

[zorgitron]

@imsohoodphab PHD? Didn't this guy to go Yale? And how can you judge how close-minded someone is? I love how people who accuse other's of being narrow-minded and judgmental are total hypocrites. How about YOU take the opposing viewpoint of this music and listen to it critically?

[ecrocksmysocks]

so fucking good

[stigmhc]

could edit that first 2 and a half minutes out

[Polalives]

All this looks so corny and empty of real feeling. This is just a trendy scenario for stupids who think they are "crazy" or "original" and they are just insignificant. Bjork should thank God for being so overvalued in exchange for human stupidity and lack of artistic knowledge...

[zorgitron]

@Polalives Well said Polalives!

[juansalazarj]

etéreo e pueril.

[devontheknight]

I never thought of how perfect they would sound together. Brilliant.

[gettinguponthe1]

how the funk did i not know about this?

[ChrisMagoo99]

whoa...Bjork sounds...older. wow. but it's kinda cool. her voice has a certain warmness to it

[hectorgmontiel]

Those girls are a mess. Bjork is a goddess!

[Pshamous]

i like the dirty projectors but that song was mostly horrible.

[BuFufilms]

This got a nice peter and the wolf vibe to it :D

[djlumimies]

Wow!!! Björk is doing high school bands these days! Long gone is the fame and fortune...

[MikeMusic98]

@djlumimies ummm, the Dirty Projectors are not a high school band. They are actually one of THE MOST original and musically complicated bands of today. You should do your research...

[zorgitron]

@MikeMusic98 I think you are the one who has not done their research. How can you say that they are the MOST ORIGINAL? Have you listened to all music on Earth? Fucking pretentious twat... god damn. Hope you wake up some day.

[MikeMusic98]

@zorgitron First of all, I have done my research...its actually my major. Second, I did NOT say the Dirty Projectors were THE MOST, I said they were ONE of THE MOST original bands of today. Wow, someones a little bitter huh? Seriously grow up.

[zorgitron]

@MikeMusic98 Haha! You're major? Show this video to one of your professors and see what he says! Oh yeah, and good luck finding any job out of college HAHAHA! You know you're screwed!

[AwonWps]

@zorgitron Whoa, you're on an awful lot of these videos aren't you? Personally, I don't major in music as MikeMusic98 claims to, but I have taken music theory classes where my teacher's said that she likes DP, although I guess this is all lie to you huh? Oh well.

[plonista]

Painfully boring.

[goodgrief78]

@plonista Oh, I say. How terribly urbane you are.

[emptyxsilence]

i love bjork so much shes just so lovely (:

[sneekz07]

I purchased the EP. Its pretty dam good & for a good cause. So there you go.

[newentu]

Esto es la nueva colaboracion con este grupo que ni sabia que existia...simplemente maravillosa la voz de Björk

[quillber]

oh god the faggy screams. the idea of this band and that lady together is waaaaayyyy too much cutesy kookie off kilter cuntiness for me to even fathom dealing with!!

[goodgrief78]

@quillber Then don't deal with it.

[khoris]

the song is cute! if i can say that! here we call fofa! and my diva Bjork is fofa!

[karoljnilla895]

woah :O

that was awesome!

can't wait for the recording to come out

[shit311]

finally they recorded the collaboration

[frumos90]

Love it!!

[VisualGrower]

I can see only bjork here.

[finalmattasy]

@VisualGrower yup... from debut till vespertine, for me, she's the greatest solo artist.

[finalmattasy]

@finalmattasy medulla is really good too.

[sneekz07]

@finalmattasy I think Volta is awesome aswell. I admit it is a grower, it took me 3 weeks to properly get into it. I just wanted to shun it lol. But now I embrace it with open arms.

[frushuante]

Mount Wittenberg Orca is out June 30 !

What a great news !

[tracehazarrrrd]

Bjork is a sexy, sexy woman.

And why are those three idiots on the right making noise when Bjork is there? They should all sit DOWN!

[gracewatchesvideos]

How much I love this song and performance, I could not put in words... except those words.

[iceaxe56]

bjork looks bored--i could have written this song

[peopleintrees]

@iceaxe56 Yeah and i could have written Radioheads Kid A.

[chauss123]

@iceaxe56

But no one would like it.

[iceaxe56]

@chauss123 doesn't look like ayone likes it there

[wcurupira]

sweet, very sweet for a holliday in paris.

thanks for the post.

w.

[dogonfire]

Wow!

[gomachols]

i touched bjorks ass. twice. with the back of my hand. in london. she was cool

[DonnieDoomsday]

@gomachols Gold

[rachelbenson]

@gomachols hahaa .... "with the back of my hand". still awesome.

[paperbagthat]

I would love to go hiking with all of these people

[tschka]

WOOOOOOW... Bjork ....

[jcurbot]

the singing doesn't start till 2:26 LOL

[librarydanceparty]

Harmonies are so tight! I love these guys.

[astralkiller22]

ugh sorry but I don't think they are very good, I only gave it a chance because of bjork but it still sucked.

[Generlcapgun]

I think the guitarist kind of ruins it on all the live recordings- his ear is shit for staying in tune!! Your a professional musician, dude, get it tuned..

[lysolbombs470]

@Generlcapgun

I'm afraid it's your ear that's shit...because he IS in tune. Actually, he sounds perfectly in tune.

Regardless, if professional musicians ever seem to be slightly out of tune, it's usually technique. Especially if you're working with harmonies or drones, sometimes a guitarist will tighten or loosen their strings ever so slightly to get a little more fullness with the vocals or other instruments.

[Generlcapgun]

@lysolbombs470 not really, but okay. My ear is great, I teach music professionally, but believe what you want to. Just have a listen to their studio stuff and compare it to the live ones and hear the difference.

[Generlcapgun]

@lysolbombs470

and for the record, I STILL enjoy their work, a lot.

[ManOfVinyl]

It's on purpose.

[zorgitron]

@Generlcapgun I agree. And I thought it was pretty unprofessional that he tuned his guitar in front of the audience and made them wait. But not after he told the lame pointless story about the origin of the song.

[SendInTheChickens]

Why have I only just discovered the dirty projectors? Curses a thousand times on me! This makes me so fucking tingly inside!

[digitalwhiplash5]

yessss!!!

[dpaulh76]

Wow what a treat! I am just getting around to listening to The Dirty Projectors & i think they are Mad Brilliant! Add Bjork! Even More Brilliant! Thanks for posting this gem.

[zorgitron]

@dpaulh76 Keep searching man. Don't stop with the Dirty Projectors, there's better music out there.

[tophaloph]

lol why would she come to temecula, it sucks here

[TheSubscriptioner]

where's jay-z? we need him here

[uliseslag]

I wanna shoot that guy! Annoying!

[cacaorocks]

bjork????? YEAH

[pixicam]

i want to like this, i really do:/

[laleldon]

@pixicam me too, but it's not working :(

[FutureMoth]

@pixicam

I think I'd like it more as a capella. But then it'd just sound like a poppier version of most of Medulla. So they should just write more.

[reptile914]

me too. :(

[arfuswrinkledinks]

is this a recorded track?

[oreoana1237]

I LOVE BJORK! she has great taste is people to collab with.

[skeeterart]

oh my god i love that woman

[TehJalapeno]

TehJalapeno would like know if Bjork has ever visited Temecula, the jewel of Southern California.

[denverexec2000]

holy smokes. More evidence of Bjork's appreciation of great outsider artists.

[mikeofcetacea]

I'm not trying to be rude, but they are experimental, not outsider. Outsider is a reference to art created by the mentally disabled. But I agree, B is really wonderful for her appreciation of amazing musicians!

[mattmonson7]

@mikeofcetacea outsider art more broadly refers to art that is made out of the established art community, or rather is outside of contemporary art community alltogether, as in they are not trained artists. its a matter of semantics i guess, and i know the movement was started with insane people, but whatever. the lead guy from the DP's plays his guitar upside down and left handed which could be seen as some sort of DIY outsider type thing... i dunno. they are freaking awesome tho.

[madsketcher]

If Bjork released an album with these sorts of tunes on it I would be listen to it daily. It sounds quite island-y.

[ek00rb]

this is EFFING rad. oh man. i would flip OUT.

[klakkin]

cool upload!..thank you very much for adding this

[chantalea333]

Whatta great collab!

[BobertPictures]

3:43 Open up your, open up your, open up your throat

[funkymidget]

lol, i thought the same thing a little later Bobert

[Cassotron]

ah...AH.....ah, I think that man failed public speaking

[Havenscope]

AmBER!!

[BillyBillyBoy22]

Amber Coffman... Ahk! Gives me a whale-sized heart attack.

[saltemann]

get to the point will ya

[saltemann]

get to the fucking point dude

[mindheartproductions]

necesito un master

[klimpensonice]

that sounds terrible. Björk is far above their leauge

[MindThemNot]

Dont judge by high quality studio and cd performances. Studio recordings just sound so flawless nowadays that people easily ignore the artistic quality when listening to mere live performances.

Imperfection is beauty ;)

[tracehazarrrrd]

heck ya

[chandru1103]

bjork looks so sad not in the spotlight.

[jonek90]

imo she was just focused on the song, not sad

[LesterStone]

What's the name of the song?

[m3nd3s]

wat

[brinacc]

Oh my superior being I would die!

[SavethexQueen]

I'm be shiting my pants nervous.

[VisualGrower]

Bjork is so AMAZING!!!

[waterwingit13]

love them

[harryburgess99]

any news on the songs the wrote together ever getting recorded/released?

[ColdKira111]

How Björk rules that's amazing she even succeeded in making that a bit beautiful.

[koojean]

DUDE! i would feel like crap singing next to bjork!

[mikephonics]

Interesting. Kurt Cobain also played guitar left handed and wore cardigan sweaters.

[therealalimccabe]

sublime.

This band are an antidote to all the bad music out there....music that is lowering standards worldwide....this is unique, talented and as music should be.

Thank you Dirty Projectors

[kam094]

lucky!!!! was bjork showing up a suprise?? i would have gone into shock. this must have been such a cool performance

[nate11star]

hahaha the girls from dirty projectors looks nervous when bjork goes up the stage....but of course....it's BJORK!!!....

[BobDakota]

I hate the "WOOOS" WHAT AN IDIOT!

[JohnnyJohnnyJohnny]

Ha ha. Internet drama!

[R3ctom]

Wtf, that guy just below who wrote that thing just a stupid f asshole. I mean, how you can say those kinds of things ? If it weren't for you, the world would be better.

[snidelywhiplash]

Cool performance! (What's with the WOO! wankers in the crowd?)

[IcyAche]

what are they singing?

I really like it.

[drglizard]

Irish people should avoid watching this video. They may mistake the screeching for a banshee coming to take them away.

[ISYPan]

Two of my all time favorites!

[carlafieldsrock]

Very nice!!! Hope to listen to it in a better quality. Do somebody know how I could find it?

[boozlered]

lots of great frat boys in the crowd! whoooo!! whooo!! whooooo!!!!!

[Liarsenic777]

children need good music and culture for healthy living!!!!

[starbuck68]

i am gay and LOVE the Dirty Projectors and Lady Bjork.

[angelossotiro]

I would really like to have been in this gig!!!

[griggles85]

Bliss.

[cadenmccann2]

awesome collab! i love bjorks voice, and mashed with the strange awesomeness of the dirty projectors...bliss!!

[evanazo]

man haven't heard bjork forever! this is real nice

[hellagod]

Que mucha mierda hablo el tipo del principio.

Pa colmo se ponen a afinar los instrumentos justa antes de empezar a tocar. Que newbies

Al menos La song estuvo nitida.

[MakeItJungle]

eh, quaint. I'm a huge bjork fan, so that was cool, but tell that guy at the beginning to shut the f@#$ up already.

[scbaldwin13]

oooh feisty

[fiercelyme]

Damn start the song already! 2:28 in???

[coneyislandrocket]

I've seen DP live three times, and this is the first time I've heard David S talk. I don't mind! hehe.

[toejam227]

i know !!!

fuck

[ghostofdayinperson]

That was absolutely exquisite!

[tacknet1821]

bjork! lol

[deoxyribonuclease]

re: the comments about the child.

we are annoyed by children because we are jealous of them. bjork's reaction was the only decent one, probably because she hasn't forgotten what it's like to be a child.

[adamndirtyshame]

im sorry, but bjork just isnt appropriate for kids. one of her videos traumatized my 3 year old for weeks.

[hyperbuoy]

haha! which video!?

[grACEEE777]

probably because your 3 year old wouldn't *and won't... know beautiful art if it bit him in the ass.

[ContactKofi]

LOL

[putthatinyourmilk]

Why would you show your 3 year old a Bjork video?

[adamndirtyshame]

i love bjork, so i thought my own flesh and blood would too... and maybe he will when he's older, but for now im going to stick with sesame street. he LOVES kenneth anger films though...

[attestthesun]

i show my almost 2 year old cousin her vids and he gets all excited lol. they're usually energetic and colorful. kids like that.

[reiglanaught]

yeah it's children's music so that makes sense

[kristiannnnnnnnnnnns]

Lol are you gay?

[Disappearer88]

why would that matter anyway?

[attestthesun]

lmao my little 2 y-o cousin loves her vids and music.

[mercednative]

this is a bit much

[mikinike66]

must be a closet hipster

[PicturesOfShanghai]

Why would one be on here if not interested in 'hipster garbage'?

[camilarosas]

For Bjork, duh.

[gaynigerfrmoutrspace]

no, fuck this hipster bullshit

[gazmueller]

This is so good!

[gaynigerfrmoutrspace]

THIS SHIT SUCKS. THEY SUCK

[mikinike66]

not as hard as my dad sucked me off last night. shit was so clutch

[90sbaby92]

did u mean his dad or did u really mean ur own dad...gross

[mikinike66]

makes no difference a dad is a dad to me

[90sbaby92]

lol oooook....

[RedHeadExitting]

i have been trying to figure out what Bitte Orca means, but i am just not awesome enough. So far i know its along the lines of " Ace (or other important thing in a game) Jar (or Pot). does anyone have a better idea.

[90sbaby92]

bitte means ask in german..orca is whale...sooo "ask whale" or "whale ask"?lol

[RedHeadExitting]

i think we are getting closer. i have heard of orca whales, which are killer whales. Killer whales latin (or german, whatever) name is Orcinus orca, but when i looked up Orcinus on a latin-english translator it could not translate. So maybe it's not latin and it probably means "Killer". When i looked it up on a german dictionary it just said "killer whale". Since Orcinus and Orca have the same root, maybe its "Ask Killer"??? i found the "Ace Jar" thing on a latin dictionary.

[90sbaby92]

i heard the band state tht the meaning wasn't important but the sound of itwas, like it was sharp and soothing at the same time like "please please me" from the beatles

[snabeldrengen]

Bitte=please

Orca=whale

Please whale

[RedHeadExitting]

thank you so very much.

[theelwins]

is this going to be on the new album?

and did he get the title wrong...?

[MrRolodex]

I saw the Dirty Projectors like 6 years ago when it was a solo thing, I remember it being really awkward, there wasn't a separation between the music and the audience  I left thinking..."this is the last I'll hear of this..." oh how wrong I was. Good Work!

[cactaceous]

Couldn't the parents of the kid shut her up. Then they ask why so many brats run around. That brat nearly ruined the video.

[partyprobe]

get over yourself dude. they brought their kid to a badass show in new york city. a shame your parents weren't as cool.
