Matmos live in NYC- Roses and Teeth for Ludwig Wittgenstein

la rosa ha denti nella boca de la bestia

brilliant.
i was surprised listening the chorus in italian at 5:17 saying "La rosa ha denti nella bocca della bestia", does someone knows why in italian?

If you want something really freaky, try ZHEIMEER, available on youtube! Have fun!

damn geniuses!

in the philosophy book this is quoted from he plays with language. its says when u say a rose has no teeth, its so ambigous u could then say when the rose is inside the cows mouth it has teeth. we dont specify where the teeth would be if roses had teeth so it is possible for roses to have teeth in the mouth of the beast. Its one of them things you get yourself into a knot thinking about. but thats what happens when u get two academics making music!

NO!!! This was written by Ludwig Witgenstein... The guys this song is dedicated to. It says that rose's teeth are in a cow's mouth because the cow dung the rose with the food that it chewed before. So, rose has teeth in the mouth of a beast. The cow chews the food for the rose.

when we say that a goose or a newborn child has no teeth we do not mean that it has no teeth on its arm or wherever. we mean that it has no teeth in its mouth. since a rose is physically close to teeth in the mouth of beast... then someone who said that a rose has teeth in the mouth of a beast could not be said to be uttering an absurdity because we don't in advance know where a rose's teeth "should be" for it to count as actually having teeth. you don't have to agree, but that's the basic point

u downplay your grammar with yer wit! veyyy Matmos!

I still don't get it! Why has it teeth in the mouth of the beast? I feel these lyrics are super-intelligent, but I don't get them and it frustrates me.

Hey, would you happen to have this whole show on video? Could you send me the original files? I have a bunch of Matmos and Animal Collective that I could trade with you :D
