(Some Guy) Interesting Belle and Sebastian looking for stuffy, pretentious photographers for a limited edition of their stuffy, pretentious album cover. Applicants must submit pictures of children looking morose and dejected, preferably in black & white   (prefixmag.com) divider line 33

Define "Morose"

I really love their first few albums/EPs. To me they sound like the outcome of a Donovan/Kinks collaboration circa 1966.

But I smoke a lot of weed.

Submitter seems to have never actually seen a Belle and Sebastian record jacket.

I love "Dear Catastrophe Waitress."

the term "pretentious" is used so often on fark that I feel it's a good indicator that most Farkers= American= anti-intellectual

Most Farkers are Americans, obviously. Sadly, too many of them are intimidated by things such as bands they don't know or like, and it makes them feel compelled to try to insult the people who do like them. Check out the comments on any of the Best Music of 2008 threads. Many of the comments are variations on "WTF?! I haven't heard of any of these bands. It's elitist hipster douchebaggery."

Elitist hipster douchebaggery? You mean like most fans of obscure bands?

Welcome to the Global Market, where you're obscure until you're in the US. Suck it non-Americans, go enjoy your Royale with Cheese.

Quite a few people use it as if it were code for "someone is smarter than meeeeeee!" or "I like Kiss!" or "I only need to read one book" or "I'm a useless fat coont" or "my parents have abused me and I live in a shiat town and I have my Dad's dick in my mouth constantly and my brain is small and I do not like change or black people". Particularly the last.

B&S not so much, but the stuff Isobel Campbell is doing with Mark Lanegan from Screaming Trees? Yes please.

 
Harvey Manfrenjensenjen 2008-12-20 11:10:40 PM  
I'll settle for whomever did this one...

I can see why someone might not like B&S, but I never get sick of them. And I was really surprised at how danceable their live show was when I saw them a couple years ago. I was honestly anticipating boredom.

This is the only Belle and Sebastian I know of.

Confabulat [TotalFark] 2008-12-21 01:37:03 AM  
I know a lot of their earlier stuff was morose, but their last few albums have been some of the cheeriest pop I've ever heard, ever.

"Sukie was a kid, she liked to hangout in the graveyard"

/morose lyrics, upbeat tune

The guy in charge of their album covers is color blind, btw.

Now this is the kinda cover that'll catch your attention.
