Dirty Projectors w/ Bjork 05.08.09

Dirty Projectors w/ Bjork live at Housing Works Bookstore & Café in New York City. Please watch in high quality (makes a huge difference). Recorded on May 8, 2009 using a Flip Video camcorder.

[@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 ;)

[@grantleleux]

I’ve never seen anyone hate on bjork until I read the comments on this video. Can’t believe this I’m disappointed with you guys.

[@mindsigh4]

don't worry, their best efforts at hate amounts to about as much as spitting at the sun, ya know?

[@MylesMarrero]

We’re so lucky to have this recording, first time they ever played these pieces live

[@iakdrawllim4127]

Björk saying Hi to the little kid at 1:32 is the cutest thing in the world

[@marniquaarchibald7462]

I wish I could have been there.... Just to breath in the same air Bjork was in that moment. Just so she could look at my face and see the appreciation I have for her music and her life...

[@devontheknight]

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

[@EverybodyLovesMaria]

I wish i could have been there!.... Bjork is the love of my life.... :-( Those people are so lucky to see her so close.

[@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.

[@gracewatchesvideos]

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

[@denverexec2000]

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

[@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!

[@higgobraga]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON AND EVEEEEEEER ONWAAAARRRRRRD

[@newentu]

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

[@TheAnti1337]

legendary people who hate on this struggle to understand true fuckin art and music

[@Pauldjreadman]

This collaboration is on the RSD 2023 list of releases. That's how I found out about it.

[@librarydanceparty]

Harmonies are so tight! I love these guys.

[@chantalea333]

Whatta great collab!

[@nIIe]

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

[@karoljnilla895]

woah :O that was awesome! can't wait for the recording to come out

[@shit311]

finally they recorded the collaboration

[@paperbagthat]

I would love to go hiking with all of these people

[@WagnerSchwartz]

sweet, very sweet for a holliday in paris. thanks for the post. w.

[@vivresaviva]

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

[@ultimatev17]

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

[@evanazo]

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

[@ghostofdayinperson]

That was absolutely exquisite!

[@hendwood7987]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

[@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.

[@meta_man_]

@lysolbombs470 and for the record, I STILL enjoy their work, a lot.

[@ek00rb]

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

[@lee-anlu6946]

recorded on a potato phone - but recorded, nevertheless :)

[@tylerbirchperc]

Awww... Bjork probably got that poor kid his popcorn as soon as she got offstage!

[@nekocat90]

Love it!!

[@RiduMusic]

thanks for the video :)

[@Delta6500ThisIsAURL]

Sick flashback to iOS 3 btw

[@krilabeier]

I agree that in most circumstances it is disrespectful. However, in this particular instance it was a fundraiser at a bookstore for homeless men women, and children suffering from aids. Sometimes that sort of thing draws a family oriented crowd...

[@atrao101]

wow, this was nice. I would love to hear this recorded and polished up! I bet it would be amazing.

[@silverstag67]

Can really feel the whale swimming in this music.

[@ThreeWholeSteps]

on and ever onward, i believe. from the ep mount wittenberg orca. the whole album features björk on vocals, tho dave wrote all of the songs(so i've been told)

[@ngrrplz]

How can I watch this in HIGH QUALITY when the highest option is only 360p? Is there somewhere I can go to see it in better quality.

[@henryward-raatikainen2189]

Dirty Projectors just released some new recordings on vinyl, so you can listen to it at least!

[@TschkaMoran]

WOOOOOOW... Bjork ....

[@Frostidm]

thankssss

[@attestthesun]

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

[@MatimoreAgain]

I was there.

[@finalmattasy]

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

[@koojean]

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

[@meta_man_]

@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.

[@IcyAche]

what are they singing? I really like it.

[@jimmybootz1277]

BJORK is music royalty probably the most unique voice that has ever been heard in music!😑

[@rachelbenson]

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

[@l4t3_bl00mer]

awesome!

[@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.

[@randytrashcan]

@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.

[@cacaorocks]

bjork????? YEAH

[@luiscarlossantana6320]

the beautiful night

[@Lennon2824]

nice

[@morningstar1651]

very nice

[@TehJalapeno]

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

[@vivresaviva]

yea the talking heads comeback would have shut me up if i was him,lol

[@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!

[@dogonfire]

Wow!

[@ScreaminMemein]

Oh my superior being I would die!

[@joshuabrown733]

What a match made in heaven! Wierd excellent heaven!

[@finalmattasy]

@finalmattasy medulla is really good too.

[@tracehazarrrrd]

heck ya

[@starbuck68]

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

[@Dominic078]

what song is this? its amazing

[@dkmoran]

quite interesting and fun but... isn't 05.08.09 in the future?

[@carlafieldsrock]

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

[@SavethexQueen]

I'm be shiting my pants nervous.

[@WalkOnNick]

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

[@cactaceous]

Hahaha great comeback kid! Are you the kid? I am from NYC and my first concert was Talking Heads in 1982. I was 3. What is your point? I'm sure the performers didn't like the kid there. I saw a Lou Reed concert a few years back where the audience told a mother to take her ranting kid out, and she did. It's disrespectful to the performers and the audience.

[@ChrisMagoo99]

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

[@tajissi420]

see, I do have gret tast in music!!!!!!

[@zorgitron]

@Polalives Well said Polalives!

[@funkymidget]

lol, i thought the same thing a little later Bobert

[@jeremilone]

woohoo!

[@samsuiza]

Interesting song. I can understand why Bjork likes this group. The performance looks a little awkward. It'd be cool to hear a professionally recorded collaboration.

[@FrancescoGiorginiFilms]

it came out in 2010, but I bat you already know

[@pretendtodie]

on and ever onward

[@snidelywhiplash]

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

[@jonek90]

imo she was just focused on the song, not sad

[@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.

[@mezza001]

What is the title of the song performed?

[@Havenscope]

AmBER!!

[@dsmogor]

dude, I envy you so much it hurts.

[@arfuswrinkledinks]

is this a recorded track?

[@goodgrief78]

@quillber Then don't deal with it.

[@SarahSamoneKatalina]

i only liked it becuz of bjork i mean duh!!!!!

[@gettinguponthe1]

how the funk did i not know about this?

[@reptile914]

me too. :(

[@wiwililaitraipetit]

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

[@peopleintrees]

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

[@camilarosas]

For Bjork, duh.

[@MilesGilbert]

haha! which video!?

[@pixicam]

i want to like this, i really do:/

[@mindheartproductions]

necesito un master

[@heartoflion539]

She totally saw your camera 5:01

[@jwalky1]

its okay but I like the tuneyards much more

[@juanbjork]

It's a bit rough but good

[@mikephonics]

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