Belle and Sebastian - The Blues Are Still Blue

[tonecot89]

I'm doing laundry as I listen to this song, not as cool in real life. :(

[80Jenn08]

-3 this song and the video especially!

[mushroomism]

this is lovely (:



[FirstImpressions99]

Instead of having a drug addiction, I have a Belle & Sebastian addiction. A lot safer and cheaper, and a helluva lot more satisfying :)

[GeorgiePPuddinPie]

Nice hat. Luv the band.

[HiHo44]

My favorite song from "The Life Pursuit" and one that should be on your iPod. In fact every iPod should contain a dozen Belle & Sebastian tunes as well as a dozen Supernaturals songs.

[MiraculousTechnique]

As somber as the content is, I thought this was one of the catchier tunes to come out of "The Life Pursuit."

[DancingScintillation]

note to self: do NOT have sex in a dryer, youll come out pregnant and married, and what could be worse than that!?!...or was it a portal to narnia...or an alternate universe so they just switched universes with copies of themselves so really the people who went in are not the same as the people who came out???...i hate babies! EEPS!!!

[monterrey0love]

My washer can do that.

[placebo525]

what? i wanna hook up in a mary poppin's drier!

[cooleokyuzo]

what a lovely song. no what a lovely band.

[arsenalo14]

They and the beatles r my favs but nobody seems to know who they are :P

[xArmagideonTime]

this is brilliant. actually brilliant

[teliesin77]

Let's get this right. The whites may be flaky, but the blacks - like the blues - ain't budging. So one on you, disco Stu

[AnIntangibleBadge]

YESTERDAY IS HERE!!!!

[LeaveTomorrow]

Yeaaaaah!

[folkmusicboy16]

ripped off by Little Razorblade?? hm

[romanovout]

scotlands finest....i love belle and sebastian

[dowling1981]

@romanovout They are actually from Belgium, ken?

[mombus]

that's right yellow mackerel you go! at least you've got the taste! la la woo

[Ihavenicesocks]

"you're French your vocabulary's not quite formed" haha I'm French so that line always make me smile.. amazing song btw

[alysonfun]

@Ihavenicesocks It's actually "your friendship vocabulary's not quite formed"

[Ihavenicesocks]

@alysonfun is it? the lyrics I found on the internet seem to agree with me tho

[monkeyguano]

very great band :)

[Krl246]

@bschultzful belle and sebastion formed first so it would be the other way around

and i think that belle and sebastion are more polished and hormonic they do share that "indie pop" look though

[666alberto]

really a huge varity of wonderful ideas!=)

[goingtoscotland]

@bschultzful is this a joke?

[IsOk10]

yea. :)!

[bobolandlover123]

haha is this was my laundry matte i would never leave

[ogfunk187]

cant believe the bbc used this for a chelsea fc montage....chelsea... arrgh

[jgrosch]

a serious t-rex vamp

[dbaw1975]

@jgrosch very Bolanesque! Probably why it's one of the only two of their songs I like...

[erickamancio]

Amo Belle Sebastian!

[sunthing4theweekend]

!Hey teens & 12 yr olds! Im a 31 yr old chick, very much into music, bands...great music has been a big part of my life, always..Most people dont listen to such awesome bands like B & S because they either listen to MTV/ radio bands or are too into what's considered "popular" to even know bands like them.. Same as it was for me back in 1996- when i was a teen... I think they're incredible..glad to share it w/a new generation!

[owenlewisaidan]

hay im 12 too, were like only folk who hav heard of dem :L

[gassyjeff]

This is the album for today.

[Drlouispop]

I like the E.L.O. style singing of the line "the blues are still blue"

[pastcineo]

oh the crazy launderette!!! love itt xD

[lolazarus]

This Video is great! :D

[WILLOW5033]

Why are the laundrymats I go to never like this?!?!

[brutuscassius1]

Probably because you don't live in an acid trip.

[WILLOW5033]

Yeah. All I ever get is weird old people opening my dryer and feeling my clothes when they think I'm not looking.

[sunshinebeatlette]

I

LOVE

THIS

VIDEO

[chrisliammm]

It reminds me of The Pavement,

[reddyredd]

@chrisliammm I absolutely thought of "Cut Your Hair."

[yesnomaybe442]

what a song

[rheitaXYZ]

this is like monday ...on a single platform

[MostlyExistent]

This is amazing!

[Leolaooo]

stuart looks different in this video, there's something different in his face.

can't understand what

[jovenmedia]

this is like 70s romatic comedy soundtrack music...

anytime this song comes on I immediately smirk and add a little swagger to my step

[jacksoneon]

of course you can't listen to Belle and Sebastian on Zune...

[Dodicistelle]

Is there a song called "solo and guitar"?

[OnCampusPunk]

currently my favorite band, i think "fold your hands child, you walk like a peasant" is their best album

[calico992]

I met Stuart (the singer) hes nice.(hes also 5,8 btw)

I hung out with Stuart the drummer and we talked about Elvin Jones. Hes got great taste in Jazz.

[sinnermanx555]

That is so fantastic for you.

[laurelhood96]

corn?

[entertainer106]

He is perfect.

[lenitasam]

love his song !!!!!

[owenlewisaidan]

gr8 song, hey! im 12 to, belle and sebastain, amazing never bore me! :D

[thedarkcourtsjester]

Nothing cures my "case of the Mondays" quite like a good dose of Belle and Sebastian! :)

[ALICEAUDACITY]

@thedarkcourtsjester -

[runningcow13]

Best laundromat ever.

[andrew49247]

[cw7385a]

[yellowmackerel]

I <3 Belle and Sebastian I'm a bit out of date considering I'm 12 but who cares huh!

[QuentinKT]

Please, I listened to them since I was 6.

[Ungeren6969]

Out of date? I dont think any music at good as this ever can be out of date.

[bellagoestohell]

@yellowmackerel you are on the right path, my son... or sister

[boozebarron]

@yellowmackerel

There is so much good music to be discovered. Who cares when it was made?

[daysleeper236]

@yellowmackerel LOL I wish YouTube had existed when I was 12.

[3100merlin]

@yellowmackerel does it matter 12 24 34 44 good taste never goes out of fashion

[fluffmymuffin1]

[bristoc]

Nice hat.

[TheGoldfishIsHungry]

I love this song! I also love cake.

[lumburgapalooza]

The cake is a lie.

[DiegoSikora]

Life is a lie

[lumburgapalooza]

Oh shit man that's heavy!

BRB I need to go pretend to read Nietzsche at Starbucks while wearing a beret.

[RoriStreeT]

I love this song ^^

[arizzle7769]

great stuff belle and sebastian

[TimmytheGeek2009]

In college we put some rocks in a dryer and some kid came in, stopped it, opened the door to see what was making that terrible noise, then turned it back on and walked away. haha...oh, great song.

[deepest39]

[ovechkin100]

lol yes. sooo good i love these guys

[daseMoPuNkEr1AzIsAu]

i love the part where he say: the black would be white and the white would be black!!

[aaronboi07]

the laundarettes is like a box of chocolates, you never no wat ur gonna get!! lol

[sushimanse]

Just begin listening to B&S, amazing band:D

[TimmytheGeek2009]

love it. so catchy.

[mhabib82]

stupid hat

[CatNashFrenzy]

Are you kidding me??!! That is the most amazing hat I have ever seen.

[11aahh]

great song

[MeneerTiki]

This is what ye get, when whiny intellectual adolescents with a jazz fetish, try to be funny.

But it had some stupid funny hats; so, I'm amused.

[anchi557]

this is one great videoo

[CohenClive]

who's the girl in the Fedora and Greenish dress?

[lemonkooler]

What a cool ass video

[FunKADunK]

I've heard this song on Sirius a bunch of times but always assumed it was Of Montreal.

Damn, Belle & Sebastian have some good stuff. You learn something new everyday.

[themanwhoplaysbass]

lol... of montreal? this song isn't that good :P

[FunKADunK]

Have you listened to all of 'The Life Pursuit'? It's great from start to finish.

[andrewmanford]

Yeah life pursuit is amazing! B & S are an amazing band from their first album until the last.

[themanwhoplaysbass]

yes, its definitely in my top 5 albs of all time.

of montreal takes pref over this for me though

this is an amazinnggg album though

[HELLMUTIL]

GREAT music

[Mxylptlk142]

As far as songs about laundry day go, it's not bad. Better than Freeze Ray, but not quite on the same level as Geek in the Pink.

[johnripz]

damn..i gotta learn how to wash my clothes.

[Hatenkoe]

wtf? i just realized this song wasn't about music blues, but laundry! if you listen closely in the chorus, you can hear "launderette" and various other laundry-involved words..

[rexdaggers88]

very good song

[icarlylvr97]

this is a great song my fave by them my second fave by them has to be step into my office baby

[miasansom]

Genius!!!

[womblt]

WHITE people.

[forastero4ever]

Between The Sweet and T-Rex

[actsgrlz13]

I LUV THIS SONG! but idk... wuts with the kid putting the rat dog in the washing machine??? el oh el... hohoho...

[P4rk0urhund3n]

LÖÖV IT:)

[bouldjedri]

best song ever lol

[paddyolly]

grat tune from a serously under appreciated act

[MrWednesday101]

This sounds like David Bowie.

[dentate2008]

Thier videos are so cute and fun.

[nightmareindustrie]

awzum just awzum

[theactualstephers]

Great song, Great band. Alot of people say they only like the Old B&S, I actually enjoy how they are willing to experiment with different sounds threw out the years. There music doesnt become stale because it all sounds so good.

[AriannaAzra]

Lmao the kid with the corn.

[blackxrabbit37]

I really only like old Belle and Sebastian.

This song sounds like Rocky from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. :)

[PandaStoleMyPuppies]

if ur not paying attention, you could actually think this was Modest Mouse. Such great awesomeness

[Kenickie86]

Far superior to fucking Modest Mouse. Jesus.

[Thirty7Dollars]

All he was saying was that this song has a style very similar to Modest Mouse's, which is true.

[OptionallySavage]

Modest Mouse rock. This song is quite good. Get over it people.

[guitar258]

I like the video :D

[dalancho354]

amazing song.

[HempForPresident]

such a great song.

[amadlook]

BELLE AND SEBASTIAN BABY!!!

[rabbitholesyay]

love belle & sebastian so much.

[soodleb]

love his hat just can't get enough...

:)

[manicmacintosh]

Saw him in that hat yesterday!

[soodleb]

yay good for you.

:)

[dereklawrence666]

so clever.

[PlumeOverBlade]

Whoever cleaned up the mess they made must've had a hell of a time.

I love Belle and Sebastian!

[lakislalakis]

Belle and Sebastian -------> No 1 Scottish Band!!!

[N3croyeti]

Orange Juice are defo the no 1 Scots band, 'though Belle are definitely a close second.

[MagnificentFiend]

Jesus and Mary Chain third?

[N3croyeti]

Fourth in my book, actually, mainly since I have a major boner for The Twilight Sad right now. :)

But tbh it's pretty irrelevant, there's still hundreds of great Scots acts better than our English or US neighbours. At least, in my opinion :P

[MagnificentFiend]

All perfectly fair. Thanks for your opinion!

[brilliantcolors7]

for me it's a tie between B&S and Teenage Fanclub

[myopicprude]

I dig Dogs Die in Hot Cars. But Belle & Sebastian are definitely my favorite.

[tunegrl]

leinenkugel's beer and the belle band.. lalalallalallala

[banjotune22]

This song is awsome. Their musical talent puts mine to shame.

[gregthehutch]

beatiful music! one of my al time favourite bands

[whity72]

Indeed a great band, extremely productive with tremendous loads of new song ideas.

[bumblebee9333]

the BEST

xXx

[TheStormyOne]

Belle & Sebastian are great... just geniuses...

[Alexhandrita]

Que Onda la de estos dos Chicos Blues !!! from Lima 33 Peru !

[kristian30607]

:D

[alackofoxygen89]

[ineswtf]

looks like her

[theold2007]

nahh from what i can remember shes taller than that

[porchlight70]

brilliant... as always. they seem to write with no effort and keep coming up with gems. I used to think I was talented and now I'm just frustrated... another amazing song by an amazing band

[membersofhumanity]

i do love this song and what a ledge of a video . X .

[heyvenus123]

Keep an eye on my washing plesae ah kid!!!!!

[laurelhood96]

so true yools. love this song, and the rest of this album

[dannylacalle]

Funny video for a great pop song!

[yools]

Hello, T. Rex! We took your sound and made it happier. Awesome though, love it.

[oloranube]

El otro día llovía abundantemente mientras iba al trabajo. De hecho llegué bastante empapado y con los pantalones llenos de mierda. Debería haberme puesto de mal humor, pero no pude. Es que iba escuchando The life pursuit.

[Samh9]

He kinda looks like Simon Pegg.

[puddingF]

This is a very happy cheery song

[shorty123rox]

i want that hat

[PacificCorsair]

Perfect lazy day song.

[debauchen77]

has any1 heard the song b+s done called slow graffiti it was on the soundtrack to the irvine welsh film acid house its ace

[telax2]

hehe...i use the spin cycle as a salad spinner!

[spaceman79]

Oh boy! This song is great... it sounds a lot like Lou Reed.. heheh... but it's still B&S!

Just great!

Love it!!!

[metsfreak08]

therre are actually two Belle & Sebastian songs on the Juno soundtrack.

How long have they been around?

They're pretty good.

[mjvisme]

Their first album came out about 1999. All of the albums are from good to great.
