The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart - "Young Adult Friction" Super 8

[idis1abad]

This song reminds me of being on a 90s sitcom for some reason.

[pedorropendejo]

I love gipsters bands.

[sleepypandaeyes]

alkhssgsanohahg this was filmed at Ryan Matthew Cohn's home?! Raagh & they were in his bed... Hahah I could tell from those creepy skeletons...

[l4ndst4nder]

@psykostrumpa

If the music you enjoy was popular enough to be frequently played on the radio, that would mean there would be more music like it. Any interest from the public benefits you!

[xjtbarnesx]

@l4ndst4nder Well, almost. It means massive corporations, acting in the pursuit of profit, would begin "producing" similar music to satisfy market interest. Music that exists principally as a commodity isn't really music at all. Turn off your radio.

[DreamingLiveLight]

YES!!!!!

[indiesguise]

stop the hipsters

[toxickatie]

@indiesguise

Yes

[Borjagonzalo123]

@indiesguise why?



[TheMintCondish]

So I found this awesome T shirt with a unicorn on it right... and it says the pains of being pure at heart on it. So I google that and the first thing that comes up is a song about having sex in a library. Unicorns, Sex, Libraries, New music. I have a feeling today is going to be awesome.

[Syne111]

they look like they have rich parents

[Soadsgotaload]

What's up youtube if you like Indie Music and The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart then check out my band Laissez Bear by searching: Laissez Bear - Mary

[MarisaShorty]

Tapping my foot like crazy to this song at Uni right now!

[EGIRL6235]

ew........

[onosender]

Whaouuuu from france, une vrai cure de jouvence dans cet ocean de merde musical

[GhettoSlayin724]

spotify wow is great way to find music. Awesome band

[bryandrewp]

Great music! Cheers from Jakarta, Indonesia

[eduardpd]

I LOVE TP!

[arestlesswind]

Great lyrics.

[Syne111]

The singer is one of the guys from the support circle in Rent.

[happenstance06]

So happy I found this band! Any more recommendations?

[agoobledigook]

@happenstance06

'Letting up Despite Great Faults' is pretty similar to TPOBPAH.

Might want to give them a try.

[RupertWilmot]

@happenstance06 'Yuck'

[Redwoodhats]

@happenstance06 'Twin Shadow?' Also, Stereolabs early stuff is mega similar to this.

[EveyBulgakov]

the pain of being

[richievegas01]

Amazing. Check out all-girl English pyschedelic band Stealing Sheep, they operate in similar territory to Pains'. youtube.com/watch?v=K2JgXLizs1­4

[TralalaDooDaDoo]

now that yiou FEEeeeel you say its not REAAAal

[31makimba]

This song gives me chills it's so good. Ya know, a lot of people say the best music comes from the UK and I admit, a shitload of great music comes from across the pond. However, it's band such as this, The Pixies, Guided by Voices, Archers of Loaf, Interpol, etc. that proves America has produced some incredibly significant and unforgettable music. Let's not forget that people.

[fwalsh101]

@31makimba

i have to say i like this band!)

Well The current U.S population is "over 311 Million people"!!

so it's not surprising that a tiny proportion of all those people are talented musicians!!

[fwalsh101]

@31makimba

i have to say i like this band!).,

ya quite true..& Ireland of course!!

,Well The U.S population is "over 311 Million people"!!

so it's not surprising that a tiny proportion of those people

ended up being talented musicians!!

[KaueBitencourt]

Why so awesome?

[MikaOwns]

damn peggy is sooo hot. which one of the band guys is tapin that? or maybe all of them lol?

[baytamusic]

@MikaOwns I bet none of them if you know what I mean. Watched any interviews? ;)

[YGriffiny2]

I fell totally in love with Miss G Barker to the soundtrack of this song.

Thank you The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart.

[idSuperego]

DURKHEIM

[redreg7]

is it weird that the last few seconds of this reminds me of paper planes by MIA? 

[psykostrumpa]

Why would anyone want this on the radio? Please let good stuff only to those who search for it.

[rennatofilho2]

@psykostrumpa Hipster mode on

[jamiesfawley]

@psykostrumpa Hipster fag.

[gaze993]

@psykostrumpa stupid hipster.

[BriFlores123]

@psykostrumpa Why would you not want this on the radio? It's better for the band to get more exposure and more listeners. That whole "it's only cool if nobody knows about it" thing is really stupid. Or it's the "hipster" thing as most people say but damn I hate that word. Oh well, I see you have a whole bunch of thumbs up so I guess there's lots of people out there that want good music to continue going unnoticed (just like all the 90s music that I still love to this day).

[MysticGohan091]

@psykostrumpa Because being on the radio helps the band out.

[jtisabadazz]

they look so happy :)

[FinalBaton]

Twee as fuck!

[webricklayers]

sitting in the reed college library putting off work listening to a song about putting off work in the reed college library

[theragingbull14]

[alih92]

NO! I don't wanna...

[amprojektdj]

incredibile

[sucemacouille]

yay! great song to make pizza rolls in the kitchen! sucemacouille pour de bon.

[stickinginthepin]

This band is almost a note for note rip off of Rocketship.

[mrchristian87]

the video embodies probably every true hipster cliche on the planet tho - ceecee8888

[crazyloudjukebox]

Current dancing in my kitchen to this while making pizza rolls :] Love love love

[StandardofPurity]

I love that he was reading Durkheim

[angyman]

[YGriffiny2]

We need not find the 24 people disliking this. Give them shrugs not hugs. They know nothing of love.

[palin911]

lamest band ever.

[palin911]

lamest band ever.

[acinemajunkie]

We need to find the 23 people who disliked this and give them hugs.

[ellassofrito]

yessh i found a good indie band by getting lost on one of my you tube adventures ;)

success!

[skate4pewpe]

@ellassofrito exactly what happened with me haha.

[partylikeyouaredead]

@ellassofrito

Freaking love this band noww!

[rednapkins]

@ellassofrito it seems to be one of the few ways to find good music these days..

[FcdFAN13]

@ellassofrito check out youth group. their australian

[dcmushi]

@ellassofrito so they're an independent band without a record label?

[ImagineIridescence]

@ellassofrito Me tooooo! <3

[usedfuzzbox]

cough*Frostwire*cough

[AgentAlloy]

@usedfuzzbox have fun with your viruses. real men use mediafire.

[HawaiiAlohaBanana]

@AgentAlloy real men buy the cd, and enjoy it on a decent stereo system and not a logitech 5.1 system plugged to a lap top.

[AgentAlloy]

@HawaiiAlohaBanana

I buy vinyls bro. Enjoy your inferior sound.

[duderucku]

too bad limewires banned i would download this song right now

[TheFate23]

@duderucku you can to use emule or torrent

[alih92]

[MysticGrant]

@alih92 ok....

[bio2020]

this band is fucking great!!!

[ckhkcplm]

This song is simply AMAZING.

[TheInvisibleCollege]

Best song about sex in a library ever.

[slicknicknirvana]

ive read that suicide book in college.threw it away.

[cardigansarecool]

that's not fair. If you were to do any of these things in your room alone, you would be branded an uncool loser, but if you invite your hip friends over and film it, you're awesome. what the fuck.

[ratnagourney]

@cardigansarecool youtube search "ryan matthew taxidermy" and check out the vdo on the guy who's house this is!

[ItWasNothin]

@cardigansarecool This is a music video. Bands goof-off in music videos.

[talktal]

band is clearly influenced by british and american indie music of the 80s and early 90s. if you like this, check out old bands that were on sarah, creation, and slumberland records. 

[SayAintSo1]

nice video

[ipequey]

Awesome video to an even more awesome song!

[norriseschebere]

I LOVE THEM!... (Y)

[antislug]

love it!

[Ryukku96]

CHUCK!!!

[jonnyrotten187]

@psychocandies because its not the 80's anymore duh haha.

[odeaw]

[samosam7]

[samosam7]

Say No To Love

[TheFate23]

i love this band O__________O

[rip6976]

Love this Band (:

[grogan27351128]

This song is way too mainstream now.

[ElizabethSkarezKidz]

<3 great song

[hestegullet]

I heard it on CHUCK <3

[hobbsk]

This band is the Spinal Tap of indie rock. This is insultingly derivative.

[vivelavidarocka]

This Saturday at Coney Island. FREE!! Village Voice Siren Festival.

[dreamlife2046]

yo i listened to this song like at least 50 times a day for like two weeks straight ..on rhapsody too

[HowRadIsThis]

Wait, so you shot the video? wow I love you man haha, you have excellent videos, especially the super 8's I would have loved to hang out with the pains.

[entertainer106]

I met Kip (singer/guitarist) tonight at their show, and let me tell you, he is such a kind, talented young man. Lovely band :)

[entertainer106]

I chatted with Kip (singer/guitarist) tonight at their show, and let me tell you, he is such a kind, talented young man. This band in general is great :)

[mmcdonald0822]

seeing them with surfer blood on sunday gonna be awesome

[coolsan]

Fantastic song! Hopefully they'll sing it at the Siren Music Festival

[vivelavidarocka]

I love this band, but only because they sound like The Smiths. Is that something good? I wish they would add something else to their sound, and don't be just "That '80's Band: The Next Generation".

[isunktheship]

Love the song, despite it being the epitome of hipster.

[superbadzameer]

what kind of film did you use for your 518?

[justlikeacat]

Kodak 64T

[sexyEmma4u]

Its only bands like THE PAINS and EARTH CULTURE that really know how to kick ass!!!!

[smskarlett]

i just heard this band for the first time. iTunes Genius recommended it for me! Gosh! I love iTunes genius and Pandora! I'd be so lost w/o music! And I'll have to check out more from this band!

[JcdJulz]

This, along with Girls' Lust for Life video embody everything that is cliched indie.

[ondesmartenot3]

best song of theirssss

[spewintothis]

Every year I hear a few songs that this that keeps me remaining hopeful for new music.

[vivelavidarocka]

I hear a lot of The Smiths in this song. Very good.

[sunburstdj]

@vivelavidarocka

Listen to The Wedding Present, Jesus and Mary Chain, Ride, Lush, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, and other early 90's Shoegazing bands from the UK. The group is great at drawing from these bands as reference for their sound.

So glad that this sound is coming back after being dormant for about 15 years.

Hopefully this is the beginning of all the fucking EMO/Screamo and Autotune "talents"(or lack of).

[Rorypmccarthy]

I do not get this hipster world. Everyone at my school listens to pop and rap, no one would have a fucking clue what I meant by 'shoegaze' or 'twee pop', yet the internet derides it for being too cool. I am so, so confused and wished I lived in this separate world where the stuff I like is cool.

[blocparty4life]

@Rorypmccarthy the coolest thing about it is people just dont get it so they call you things tryin to make you feel bad but they just ont get it. the ultimate two fingered salute

[tbot1995]

kurt is beautiful

[XYZandTime]

The best song off the album I think.

[melbyosh]

Yes, a bit punkish but definitely.

[DrLoveness]

[PeripheralSenses]

Peggy Wang looks JUST like my weird hipster friend.

[kyokookanami]

@PeripheralSenses

To me, she looks like Kobo Abe, a Japnese writer. Especially their noses are so much alike!

[weechun4u]

bartowski

[CH33KM4SH]

chuck yea bro

[linkades]

Wait a moment.... This souns like Dakota !

[jpmgmpj]

I had a friend listen to them, and he said it was "like The Ramones meets The Cure with sugary sweet vocals."

[hightimesbruce]

Their guitar work is a bit more complicated than The Ramones, but yeah, it's really chordy.

[Fr33F4ll1DMS]

chuck me

[anatolx]

I'm not a big fan of this band but the song is awesometastic!

[patjack95]

This song sounds a bit like Polaris (the band who did all the music for the old show "The Adventures of Pete and Pete"). I love 'em both!

[30Galleons]

Your'e taking toffee with your vicodin

[daaliminator2]

so you can sleep and forget about me

[luamania13]

[matmo2]

Seems like these guys have taken Wedding Present, Mighty Lemon Drops, Smiths etc and turned out a tribute song to each of them....

[kingny17]

lol, this comment and its rating brings to mind someone being ballsy/assholish enough to make fun of a disabled person then getting their ass kicked royally

[NarcLobster]

s0 keut <3 this band yall, ttyl (talk to yall later)

[braincras]

the super-8 vid shoot, fit perfectly with the track.

[D0ST03VSKY]

I can't help but love this band. All the jangly heartfelt yet bittersweet melodies are there. Cute video too.
