[slapshot68]

[FeanDoe]

Amazing song....

[64Fathoms]

They played this in Leeds last night! Was so excited when it started

MLB 2K6!

@NewYorkMets24

This is how i met B&S

[Choscar666]

@NewYorkMets24 

[MiraculousTechnique]

One of B+S's best tunes, no doubt. Positively infectious.

[CindyVision]

Possibly the first B&S song I ever heard. I've been hooked ever since.

[talktal]

i never realized till today how much this song rips off strawberry wine by my bloody valentine

[smeckledwarf76]

@talktal damn thats true.....but this is still so amazing anyway!

[soundenvision]

No it doesn't. You just saw someone else's comment on a "Strawberry Wine" video and tried to make the claim your own. It sounds nothing like Strawberry Wine.

[talktal]

what the fuck are you trippin on? and are you tone deaf, or just an idiot? @soundenvision

[soundenvision]

@talktal It's similar in key and tempo. Perhaps it was influenced by Strawberry Wine, but to say that it completely rips off MBV -- I just don't hear it. I'm not even a B&S fan, so there's no bias in my opinion in saying that I disagree with your assertion.

[talktal]

second, i made this observation on my own a year ago, and actually if you look at who made the comment on the mbv, it's me. i know far more about music than you ever will, mongoloid. @soundenvision

[DarknessFalls34567]

sounds so much like the smiths

[leano11]

b&s? amazing. pasties? amazing.

[baufuckinghaus]

this band was and will always be a dream

[freezazoid]

amazing... back in da day, when b&s were still cool.

Seems like in the 2000's they became so..... I can't even quite put words to it. But they're early stuff was very very special.... their later stuff was, ummmm.

I suppose the best way to put it is: Their early stuff had a lack of confidence and felt very vulnerable... they're later stuff was a similar style of music, but the opposite of insecure... not necessarily arrogant, just not vulnerable... not shy.

[LukeShetler]

@freezazoid I wouldn't use terms like cool, and I definitely agree that older B&S is better, but it was a natural progression.

That is, I hate emotional frauds who only sing depressing or timid songs, even when they're wildly successful and don't suffer some serious mental illness (Thom Yorke anyone?).

So while I think the band has declined to a degree, I can't even listen to musicians who aren't authentic, so I'm satisfied.

[freezazoid]

@LukeShetler : very good point. But even morrissey could continue and keep his personality along with the fame. Suppsosedly stuart was working at a church as a janitor, post b&s fame! which suggests he doesn't have to try hard to be pretentious and give an err of the eternal-lonely-boy. B&S's later stuff just wasn't as good I guess is what I'm saying. Their was a good mid era for them (legal man) which is the direction I hoped they woulda kept going in.

[talktal]

i have to agree. the last album or ep i bought of theirs was fold your hands child, when it first came out. for some reason their stuff after that didnt appeal to me. maybe because isobel was gone! @freezazoid

[freezazoid]

@talktal : the first b&s show in Los Angeles I got a picture of me with isobel.... my friend a few hours later accidently spilt beer on my camera! lost the photos :(

[AnnArckey]

... soz, but it's great!

[WePandas]

One of the really, really few songs of BaS that kinda annoys me. :(

[broadwaybabe07]

Oh how I love this tune!

[DannyPiss]

The Catcher in the Rye

[lladsbid]

what album/ep is this on? either way, i need to download more belle and sebastian.

[astralweeks88]

It was originally on the EP '3.. 6.. 9 Seconds of Light', but these days you can find it on the compilation album 'Push Barman to Open Old Wounds'.

[RoyaleNick]

awesome song, doesn't bother me how he says borschoasi :p

[lamprosk2001]

brilliant! I first listened to them when I was 15, back in '97. I remeber buying this 7'' and boy with an arab strap. still love them!

[brilliantfranz]

it's pretty good song,

but it kinda bothers me the way he says Bourgeoisie
