[zoomhaters]

From living with a family that can speak Spanish but not being able to really do it myself.... I think campesinos means... peasants?.. /possibly/.. so The Peasants..... I /guess/.

[MrEpicusMaximus]

Los Campesinos Means the Peasants or the Farmers... Depends on who translates.

[godtheonyt]

Any one know what los compesinos means???

[ProcastinaFilms]

@godtheonyt Los Campesinos means The Countrymans or something like that in spanish.

[godtheonyt]

[ElTrio666]

[SongHooks1993]

This song is like a complete montague of growing up from being 13 to now 18....its crazy how much you grow in those five years

[yohatube]

54 people are afraid of indie music.... It's okay it's not you're fault

[Hollywoodundead1126]

This song can stop every war ever.

[The0ldNick]

8 people didn't get invited to the party

[stabamonkeyintheface]

@Pantodabear1

They formed in Cardiff while they were students but aren't actually Welsh, and you're right, no Welshman would ever call himself anything but Welsh (that would be weird)

[rockon6191]

@imnotsickimjustaboy

I would like to respectfully submit my counter argument: Modest Mouse.

[MakeupLover1201]

[ismusictiem]

This was hipster before there were hipsters.

[StereotypicalGeek129]

Weird thing is I rather love this song, but find nearly all this band's other stuff incredibly annoying and overtly clever clever.

[CheezdudeRevisited]

staring you straight in the eyes

[TheRoboticUnicorn]

this makes me happy to be a hipster

[MMARIAASEA]

@TheRoboticUnicorn HIPSTERS NEVER CALL THEMSELF HIPSTERS, MATE.

[whatsupfizznugget]

Agreed. Being hipster is understood....unfortunately, it is a label.

[pradaheel01]

now heres a national anthem!

[chona102]

its my party i can die if i want to!! lol i love it!!

[CCDVccx]

Try BAN, FUNK IT, Official Video, amazing and brand new tune!!!

[bw01a]

Yeah parties will do a lot to stop the most dangerous evils of the world.

[Whitescare]

These cunts suck.

[newjustice1212]

they look like NCR rangers 0_o

[paulieiscoolie]

you guys are forgetting that music should be appreciatted for its own sake

to compare it or say one is better than the other is to kinda pervert it

creating music shouldn't be a competition

and no i'm not high

[cedarglenmilitia]

I am fairly sure jonsonkie thinks ICP and Michael Bolton are shit and that comment was sarcasm. At least I hope so.

Secondly, why does it matter where the music comes from? As long as it is good, it shouldn't matter/.

[Fawxify]

Los Campesinos is amazing. <3

Whoever thinks Los Campesinos is crap needs to get their heads checked, lets see all the haters make this kind of music or even come close.

Also, why are you looking up this music if you don't like it?

[PlayerNegative1]

People listen to different music, have different tastes. I for one think John Lennon had a shit voice.

[ddkuwl]

America: Neutral Milk Hotel

[ ] Not Told

[x] Told

I love LC! though, but this argument is stupid.

[Rorypmccarthy]

@ddkuwl It is, yeah! The British produced The Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Who, The Cure, Led Zepplin, The Smiths, the whole original indie scene and sound, Radiohead, et cetera et cetera. I mean, Jimi Hendrix only became famous when he went to London. Then he was able to make it in America.

[piparotess]

@Rorypmccarthy you forgot Motorhead.and iron maiden and judas priest.

but you also forgot, ramones, metallica, black flag, guns n roses, etc.

[jonsonkie]

to all you haters out there British: The Clash The Who Rolling Stones The Beatles American: Insane Clown Posse Vanilla Ice Michael Bolton just sayin

[PurityOfEvil24]

@jonsonkie Your comment is ignorance at it's finest.

[Jrples]

@jonsonkie Oh please don't mention those three from american!! those are most of the worst!! The British have great music and they probably have bands that are terrible too

[Awhaleable]

@jonsonkie i love the beatles the who the rolling stones and a lot of good things did come out of britain. more than america. but don't compare them to people not even in the same musical genre that's just stupid.

[Awhaleable]

@jonsonkie and also, los campesinos is pretty terrible. they only have one good song really

[mrfudgeyhead]

@jonsonkie

That's incredibly unfair, you're throwing a crippled boys in the ring with a pride of lions.

And personally, American indie is better in my opinion, but I won't plaster some nationalistic shit on youtube because I like Pavement more than Bloc Party.

And here goes this. America; The Stooges, The MC5, The Doors, Alice Cooper, The VU, any of the many mainstay punk bands from the 80s.

British: Amy Winehouse, Oasis, maximum douche Bono, Bedingfield, and the slew of twee pop going round.

[jonsonkie]

@mrfudgeyhead

you forgot Guided By Voices and The Spice Girls.

In my opinion American indie is better too, I love pavement, but that's not what my comment was about. My comment was aimed at those criticising the British for producing bad music.

[brettgreen1]

@mrfudgeyhead

hahahaha

you took a bunch of greats from the past and put them against the british shit of today. I can do that too!

America: Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Lil Wayne, Ke$ha.

Britain: The Beatles, Radiohead,

[jgrizwald]

@brettgreen1 That is a very oversimplified and biased view of bands from both places. There are "good" and "bad" from both, but just stating those from america, and those from britain, is really being blockheaded.

[sheloveschaos]

and i'm staring you straight in the eyes! I'm shaking my head and I'm staring you straight in your eyes. <3

[themanchild27]

bittish music sucks soooooo much

[cspring08]

@themanchild27 so does your spelling.

[themanchild27]

@cspring08 so does the fact that the r button doesnt always work

[OptionalFish]

Should it not be called "Los Campesinos Mixx"?

Just sayin'.

[OptionalFish]

Why Wichita recordings?

[loswichitangeles]

@OptionalFish

en.wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/Wich­ita_Recordings 

[imnotsickimjustaboy]

British always make the best indie music

[acido141]

@imnotsickimjustaboy Most of the best music is british.

[rayolacer]

@imnotsickimjustaboy oh mate youre just a bit too wrong; deerhunter the breeders the pixies thinking fellers union local 282 the music tapes neutral milk hotel pavement built to spill olivia tremor control deerhoof frog eyes are just a few simple examples that in the uk we are just a bit too behind...

[imnotsickimjustaboy]

@rayolacer i just put that to get the most thumbs up lol guess it worked.

[rayolacer]

@imnotsickimjustaboy ah well fair doos, i didnt give anyone any though

[blackbubblegum47]

@rayolacer i wouldn't really call the pixies indie music (as odd as they are)

[TheTinywhiskers]

@imnotsickimjustaboy

check out Kidda for some more british splendor. .

i particularly like 'smile'

check him out!!!

[Pantodabear1]

@imnotsickimjustaboy aren't they from Wales?

[BohemianArcade]

@Pantodabear1 1. Wales is part of Britain. Therefore they are British.

2. They don't come from Wales.

[oatescymru]

@BohemianArcade they don't come from wales but formed when all attending cardiff uni



[imnotsickimjustaboy]

@Pantodabear1 if you british your from either Wales Scotland England or N. Ireland.

[Pantodabear1]

@imnotsickimjustaboy because they're the british isle? i can see that but usually when one says someone is biritsh it implies they're from england. i've never met anyone from those countries who refereed to themselves as british that's why i was asking for clarification =]

[imnotsickimjustaboy]

Watch this /watch?v=rNu8XDBSn10 hope this helps you out.

[calvinsme]

@imnotsickimjustaboy i made it 200!!!

[LibraHorse1]

@imnotsickimjustaboy and canadians.

[MrGangago]

@LibraHorse1

Ahahahahah!

[check2773]

@imnotsickimjustaboy Wouldnt see any black indie artist

[TheGreatAlbinoTV]

@imnotsickimjustaboy Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they from Whales?

[imnotsickimjustaboy]

@TheGreatAlbinoTV Well the band was formed in wales '' not Whales'' like the mammal. However none of the band are welsh. Long story short there British.

[JackGittinsFilms]

@imnotsickimjustaboy American Indie is non existent

[MrEpicusMaximus]

@JackGittinsFilms Ah-hem.... What about Grandaddy? They are, IMO, one of the most influential indie bands of all time, and they are from america.

[Davidzinuhaha]

@imnotsickimjustaboy Because of the ambience

[bitejacker]

@imnotsickimjustaboy And swedes.

[FEESHSLAP]

i just fell in love

[kickliquid]

"I couldn't tell if the singer's keyboard was a crutch or a synthesizer, but it sounded like he had broken a limb each and every time he pushed a key down or in"

I mean c'mon with lyrics like that how can you not love this band?

[guerreroespartano]

@kickliquid hahaha, i´m spanish and can´t understand the lyrics (only very little i don´t even know what means the title, cause don´t know what is parties) but i love this band!!!!!!!!!

[kickliquid]

@guerreroespartano parties is fiesta, my last name is guerrero. are you from Spain? I'm American but my parents are from the Philippines, which was a country with a lot of spanish influence.

[guerreroespartano]

@kickliquid ok, hahaha, i used to think the word was partys, hehehe, and yes i´m from spain, and my grandgrandfather was from the philippines, but i´ve never been there, and i think he was a very rich spanish there, hehehe, nice to meet you

[sadfasfdsad]

Theres red stains all over the place, they're not blood they're cherryade. We throw parties, you throw knives, its all the same if the fizzy drinks are nice.

[BelgianBass]

I love this genre, it sounds commercial but it's actually fucking art

[JackoDB]

@wkndr4life but they aren't welsh. I think the story is that they met at Cardiff university and went on from there

[santied1995]

are los campesinos chicano



[wkndr4life]

@santied1995 No, they are from Wales.

[dwwilburn]

@wkndr4life no they met in wales but none of them are from wales

[limestonemiler]

i've had this song stuck in my head all day.

best. day. ever.

[halosandbagels]

Did anyone else notice the people having sex at 1:04?

[DrSpaceGhost]

@halosandbagels ya but I think it's more like rape than just good old sex

[muffy999]

i simply watched this for the animations and muted this shit noise

[8254988]

@muffy999 yea who gives a shit

[Eoinposse]

RIP David Clifford.

[kashwari]

this videos really cool

[ccoleeds]

@anglefistbomb im a fan of both bands and dont compare them as my previous point said

[LOLURCATS]

As much as I hate indie douchebag scenesters this band makes good tunes. I hate how everyone looks i the band, I hate the vocals, I hate how they are from Europe, I hate how they probably are Apple fanboys, I hate the graphics in this video, I hate how fucking "indie" they are. Shit but the music is good and better than other mainstream crap like Justin Bieber, Brittany Spears, Kesha, Lady GaGa, and Taylor Swift so maybe idk indie isn't so bad.

[evilalexdude]

@LOLURCATS

Damn straight!, But I quite like the video it's strange

[superdupergoody]

@LOLURCATS maybe you should stop using the word indie like every other hipster douchebag. theyre hardly scenesters as you say. they just play honest fucking music and dont hold back.

[imtripping23]

@LOLURCATS Not all indie songs are from hipster douchebags. It really isnt bad. I just started geting into it too. There expression is just different IMO thats all.

[MrSewheatable]

This is great! Hurray for Los Campesinos! Whoo whoo!!!

[McStelzer]

Are they having sex at 1:03

[wavelength84]

@McStelzer yeah meng

[msyjsm123]

I'm the one that's dressed like a pirate!

[np1251]

i love how this video has nothing to do with the song. it has to do with the world war!!

[Mertdizzle15]

how awesome that I discovered these guys and gals before there concert on the 20th! SEE YOU IN TORONTOOOOOOOOO!

[faerielitez]

i still love this so much <3

[faerielitez]

i love this so much! <3

[TrishDilligaf]

Greatest song evvvver...

[Torkulguy]

Did they make any other videos with this same style of animation, other than "You! Me! Dancing!"?

[claaayxxo]

i love this song, its so random but random is good :)

[wrappedinsadness]

"Los Campesinos" son unos músicos de CUSCO PERU de hace más de 50 años, tocaban huayno cusqueño muy bueno, les recomiendo.....

Que graciosos estos jovencitos ..:LOS CAMPESINOS DE WALES JAJAJA

[baltimoredelosreyes]

@wrappedinsadness si pero a diferencia de los musicos que mencionas, estos campesinos de wales crean música relevante

[droidze]

@wrappedinsadness estos son "Los Campesinos!", no "Los Campesinos"

[thePurplelover14]

i like this song :)

[BigRudy327]

i litteraly listen to this song everyday :)

[iceprincess15]

This is my friends favorite song and he told me to listen to it haha uhm I dunno what to say haha:)

[seimi192]

[compostelavirtual]

[ProDjo777]

Their clips are simply amazing xD!

[deathscore]

wow this band loves to make cruelr reality war videos lol

[rwallacegoldaline]

@deathscore

It's like a music video to any page from Gravity's Rainbow

[BoredAwake]

Shame LC! hasn't done more music videos to some of they're newer songs: one for "We are Beautiful..." would be great.

[wombat989]

ive just noticed. at the end, it talks about them being dressed as a pirate, ninja, zombie and four schoolgirls. Arent there only three girls in los campesinos?

[dandelionspit]

I think that's meant to be the point xD the boys are the school girls

[FurShurr1316]

@wombat989 yup lol

[maikzons]

i love this song, especially the ending after the 'blurry' part

[maikzons]

this is awesome shut the f up

[samissooemo]

[smoke108]

Sticking Fingers into Sockets

[NimbleJack3]

I love how this song leads on to You! Me! Dancing!.

[Sweny60]

The Video and the song are awesome. :-)
