Art Bears- Freedom

[bennymcfarlane]

It took me a while to decide, but I really appreciate the stills that accompany this piece.

[TheLavapies]

@mailboxfish I really think that the Art Bears makes most other bands look like sissies, at their time.

[TheLavapies]

ART BEARS REVISITED, IF SOMEONE HAS THAT OR THE BOX SET THEY SHOULD POST IT PLEASE. THESE PEOPLE DO SOME GENIUS, MENTAL THINGS WHEN REMIXING THE ART BEARS.

[Bewohner2000]

oh please.....not Dagmar Krause

[tubellarbells]

Madness, anger and talent mixed together. Amazing band forever and ever. Hard to follow at first but makes most present day bands feel ashamed.

[emmetwebster]

@SeanIsaacBillings I highly recomend Renaldo and the Loaf. Especially "Songs For Swinging Larvae" and "Monkey and Bunny" which they did in cooperation with The Residents.

[Pathos62]

@SeanIsaacBillings I'd just like to agree with willy1957, Heresie might be the greatest avant garde album of all time imo

[xxMassMurderer1235xx]

@SeanIsaacBillings residents are awesome bro. check out jandek. really weird shit.

[threeby8887]

Great performance!

I'd have hated to have been the producer or engineer of this song and had to say "Oops! We messed up the last vocal take. Krause, can you do the entire thing all over again?"

[moonveil111]

@SeanIsaacBillings can, soft machine, henry cow, amon duul 2, captain beefheart

[willy1957]

Univers Zero- heresie

Present- Nr 6

Aksak Maboul- both recordings

From here you can explore more Sean

[MrAmputechture]

Might take a lot of shit for this but Art Bears > Henry Cow.

[MrMonsterstiffy]

@MrAmputechture yer spot on.

[idiotsaintcrazy]

@MrAmputechture Yes but less boring ! (i'll take the shit now ;-)

[ynkrock7]

The vocals on this are insanely good.

[AlmostEthical]

Whoa! And to think I thought Cow were spooky lol ... Dagmar is unbelievable

[MrLizardisle]

incredible music by extraordinary musicians

[MrGrandDragon]

"Both the images we consume and the way we consume them are lending credence to the idea that women are there to be used and that men are there to use them" Linda Papadopoulos

Women and Sex have become synonymous terms and "Art" for the past two centuries has taken no stops to fully glorify and objectify women as sexual tools.

Women and Men wake up

[Victormene]

Papadopoulos has written for magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Tonic Magazine and Time on Line. She is a familiar face on British and American reality television series, such as Big Brother, Double Cross, My Big Breasts and Me (UK documentary), Celebrity Fit Club and the BBC News. She has also written for BBC News on mental health.[3]

Oh yes, Cosmopolitan doesn't glorify and objectify women as sexual tools...

[MrGrandDragon]

I dont know who she is, but on BBC there was a recant article about Sex and sexulization. Art and fashion has A LOT to do with it in my opinion. Glamorising false impossible ideals.

[Victormene]

what can I do to stop it? Just feel very sorry about it? Tell me what can I do NOW, I'm impacient.

[MrGrandDragon]

Hmmm

I don't have all the answers, but what you can do is be a moral person, know that a judge is looking down at you...

I don't even know you so how can I possibly give you any more advice?

[Victormene]

So you tell us what is wrong with society and people but don't give any answer... You better shut up I think.

I don't know what is a "moral person", I don't think that a judge is looking down on me, that's just absurd.

You're just a pretentious prick, posting comments that don't have nothing to do with this video.

[MrGrandDragon]

@Victormene

I am spreading the message, and for some reason you got offended. Maybe you are a demeaning prick

[MrGrandDragon]

@Victormene

What I said was not pretentious, far from it. Don't you you read the news? Are you a sleep? I quoted her because she perfectly summarised a point.

It would be pretentious of me to try and state a problem and then act as if I have an answer to the solution. I am only a messenger, trying to WARN you and others around Youtube.

[Victormene]

I'm from Argentina (south america) you know, my country doesn't have the same problems as yours. I don't understand which is your point anyway. What can I do? I'm unable to change the way men see women, I'm not god.

I think it's up to women to rebel and change their situation.

[TheLavapies]

@Victormene: Unless you know what it is to walk and live like a woman in general, you should consider that you don't know how it is for women to experience general domestic/macro-society berievement at the hands of men.

[MysticGizmos]

@TheLavapies Go watch The AmazingAtheist, and see what he thinks of what you are saying.

[goingfortheone1]

J.R.R. Tolkien? lol

What is he doing here?

[kosmischesynth]

ART BEARS

[transconduit]

Thanks for upload, I'm thinking Dagmar is now my favourite vocalist and I only ever heard her tonight.

[newexperiment]

Are the rest of the songs on 'the world as it is today' as superb as this one?

[anomalek]

Forced from the land, Cleared for the wool, Dispossessed, refugees, Who were told To be free. Free to starve. or to Slave; free to choose A or B, as we offered, To labour or die. I saw cities explode with This freedom, and Covered my eyes.

[Victormene]

thank you, the lyrics are so true

[GrayhenTor]

I imagine this is about the evictions of smallholders in Ireland .. sheep more profitable than people.. and the rape of that country by the English in general.

If so, then the scream sums up the whole period beautifully.

[goingfortheone1]

Nah, they were just anti-capitalists.

[deplanetiser]

wow :|

[ADURG1]

o wow...mad badass! my 1st x hearin'! tanks fer postin!

[Breakfastime]

Great record! Gotta love the screams!

[newexperiment]

Sweetness

[Victormene]

hey, im not a yank, man, im from ARGENTINA!!!!! I even dont understand your message, i suck at english!

[Nic33rd]

Calm down.

[Victormene]

? you are saying "calm down" seven month after I wrote that comment... are you drunk?

[Nic33rd]

Maybe ;)

[hfhf2008]

It still sends shivers down my spine! Nearly 27 years after I first heard it... What an amazing piece of music. What a great performance by Dagmar et al!

[acvilaa]

nice :)

[WhenYaSleep]

I love you, Dagmar!

[tedperkins]

I remember when I first heard this song. One of my friends had just picked up the album and we were so excited. We got it home and put it right on. I don't know what track this is, but it wasn't until about halfway through the scream that we figured out that this was one of those "extended play" 45 rpm records! It was hilarious. What a bunch a dummies! lol. Well, the album definitely sounded better at the proper speed. I love Art Bears.

[mothergong]

freedom!

love dagmar in this song

[Victormene]

I think Art Bears is a great influence on Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, the same as Henry Cow, it's beautiful and innovative music whose legacy won't never fade away !

[number7gracestreet]

yeah, totally. always at a loss to explain SGM...

Anyone know where I can find P Blegvad/SlapHappy singing 'the drum' song Bongwater do?

[borneilh]

yeah, it's on the 2nd slapp happy record, either called Casablanca Moon or Acnalbasac Noom (CM backwards). The two albums are virtually identical tracks-wise but are completely different recordings. CM is Slapp Happy backed up by studio musicians. AN is SH backed up by Faust (and was the first recorded though not released til much later). "The Drum" appears on both albums but AN version is superior. Blegvad doesn't sing on AN, only Daggi; they duet on CM. Clear as mud, right?

[figsnbeans]

Bless you.

[Prayermad]

the RIO scene just didnt get better than this. absolutely amazing.

[Nic33rd]

Oh wow! Very interesting vocals and instrumentation! I like it!

[Fungusleper]

Art Bears rule. Ralph records in general rules. All Hail Shreveport Louisiana. Go Residents. Suckin zefartz in heimer el krauten flogga

[urbidan]

Dommage que les images ne soient pas à la hauteur de Dagmar et consorts. Bonne initiativee quand même.

[Victormene]

Fuck you! Je ne t'ai pas vu mettre des videos d'Art Bears sur youtube, alors, tais toi! Canard!

[urbidan]

Bonne initiative quand même.

Un peu grossier néanmoins le personnage. Il a peut-être cru qu'il avait du génie.

Donc, seulement pour le plaisir des oreilles.

[Victormene]

Oui, j'ai beaucoup du génie, et sûrement plus que toi. Tu ne fais pas rien, mais tu méprises ce que j'ai fait! C'est drôle de voir! Dikkenek!

[urbidan]

Il y a bien méprise, mais seulement sur ce que tu as pu comprendre de mon premier commentaire. C'est une affaire entre toi et ton Ego. Ce n'est pas à la hauteur, je n'y peut rien. Monte sur un tabouret. C'était mon dernier commentaire.

[Victormene]

Après tout, je t'admire. Tu as plus de cinquante ans et tu sais utiliser le youtube, c'est très admirable.

[urbidan]

Et j'ai pu les voir en concert souvent. Mais c'était la musique de mon époque. Un truc de vieux pour toi.

[Victormene]

Ça ne m'importe pas. J'ai les sleepytime

[Prayermad]

Amazing vocal work on this song, my favourite Art Bears song. Great RIO!

[NoMoreBrainwashing]

How sad! i just figured out this is THE ONLY art bears video on youtube... and it was added 3 weeks ago... but glad it was added by an argentinian ^^

But stills sad...

[toztizok]

lets make a new one then

[Victormene]

I created this video, I think this song is very amazing, and IT HAD to be on youtube. Thank for your comments!

[chaote]

Interesting video, who created it?

This is an incredible song & band. Dagmar's shrieks make Diamanda Galas sound like a third-rate Pop Idol contestant.

[kittenfetus666]

I don't get most of the pictures (Franz Ferdinand?) but this is an amazing band.

[expoonation]

DON'T try to get the pictures :P just watch and listen, pictures are there so you have something to see while watching ;)

You got some Henry Cow video's Victormene?

[Victormene]

No, I don't have, I'm 18, and I'm from a small town in Argentina, I couldn't find Henry cow's videos anywhere...

About the pictures, ALL are very famous pictures.

[then00best]

wow, the last one is creepy as hell

[NoMoreBrainwashing]

Erm you know who actually is Franz Ferdinand? (not the band lol)

I recently found out about art bears, good band, im argentinian too! so we are not alone, victoremene. Rep if you want to talk on msn.
