B&S must go over my head. I just don't get it.

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.

who? huh?

I have no idea what's going on.

Is it wicked not to care?

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



Is that stuff, morose, or dejected?

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

You talk like a fag, and your shiat's all retarded.

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."

B&S are awesome, subby is being, like, mean.

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.

I love this band.

Is that the longest headline ever?

Oh so morose!

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.

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.

"I don't wanna hear old sad bastard music, Barry, I just want something I can ignore"

This is the only Belle and Sebastian I know of.

So morose:

children? morose? dejected? and in poor color? Dude...

Spike Jonze and Karen O has ownzed this already (pops)

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.

DarthBrooks: Define "Morose"

HA HA HA! Just BAM--there's that photo! Right off the bat.

LOLLERS!

What the hell is morose about This? (new window)

"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.

/can't believe this wasn't posted first

I will always love the cover to Tigers Milk
