Fanfarlo - Harold T. Wilkins

[supimschmef]

the singer kinda sounds like clap your hands say yeah.

[AdamNoAnts]

this isnt like beirut, more like the guys who sing... i will walk 500 miles, no im kidding... n yes its gushers, ass...

[Itstol8toapoligze]

sounds abit like noah and the whale XD

[Nertrender]

anyone else frustrated because they can't find a video that is actually about Harold T. wilkins

[CamoDudet04]

whats an artist like Fanfarlo (That's not Beirut, lol)

[Morpheus94080]

fanfarlo is not better than beirut, but this is a great song

[FallenPixel]

Indeed. Only Fanfarlo is way better than either of them. :)

[tweakyzz]

PSLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLLMISS U MEHHHHHHHHH

[cliffto6]

WHY THEY AREN'T FAMOUS? The whole world gone mad.

[Nertrender]

@cliffto6 well I think they are a little more famous than Harold t. Wilkins.  I was looking for an interview or somthing with him in it and this was all i found

[cliffto6]

@Nertrender I meant why this band isn't getting famous with their different taste of music. I love this music so much. And also, the real Harold T. Wilkins has died like many years ago in late century.

[Nertrender]

@cliffto6 it is just that guys like giorgio Tsoukalos and Erich von Däniken take up all the spotlight and people forget about one of the earliest fringe theorists/ancient astronout beliviers

[katrocks98]

finally, a song about something that actually happens

[katrocks98]

fanfarlo is my favorite band. next time you guys come to ny im so buyin tickets

[kolektuyul3]

nice..

[destructoidreaper3]

love the song but i feel like he's singing with a lisp f sounds like th to me

[w2bhc]

¿Arcade Fire much?

[yearofthegladiator]

Wow very cool! They should go on a tour with Devotchka and UByK!!

[ehhsielove]

The first 3 seconds of this sounds just like the first 3 seconds of Tonight, Tonight by Smashing Punpkins.

[franchisepeat]

@ehhsielove dude. it kinda does.

[InspirationalJelly]

THIS SONG IS SO SAD. I FEEL SO BAD FOR THAT KID. </3

[Bonifasius11]

i'll wait for you guys to come to Indonesia for a very long time.. :D

i'll wait!! :)

[sampsoncorgi1]

Drinking my pbr, wearing my black rim square glasses, plaid shirt, skinny jean, trucker hat and totally listening to this.. but underground because underground is cooler.

[123CREEPS]

<3-Selena

[blazertreyflip]

the raveonettes are better than this i dont even like the raveonettes

[31makimba]

@blazertreyflip There is a simple explanation for your comment....You're mentally challenged

[CooperLordOfAll]

they should do a video for finish line :D:D <3

[abennii]

A combination of Beirut + Arcade Fire= Fanfarlo!

[abennii]

A combination of Beirut+Arcade Fire=Fanfalo!

[jtkabenni]

This is the best thing I've ever heard.

[alexlg18]

I don;t know what he's saying, but It's amazing!!! :D

[Batou3]

@alexlg18 look for the lyrics.

[TheGrouphugger]

the drumset looks like gushers

[sirjameson9]

i love songs under one million views.



[sirjameson9]

me too!!!

[dewar4578]

Disappointed w the first Fanfarlo video in March of last yr .I was invested in my own ideas of what the intoxic tune was trying to "SAY".It was unique yet so very pop @ the same time & my experience @ that pt was solely thru radio.The 2nd, I'll assume "official' video, came out w them camping,fishing,etc, & I was a lil desensitized assuming the video was probably just a metaphor alluding 2 something grander anyway.Is Fanfarlo conjuring up Mr. Who or hoping for a Creedence Clearwater Revival?

[BeTheBestMe]

Love it so much it is my oxygen

[316xsteph]

see you at coachella 2011! :)

[neoalley]

@thomasjayhughes

Maybe he is using a different technique? Ever heard of style?? To insult him at his trade is really uncalled for, seeing as how he is in one of the best bands ever.

[31makimba]

@neoalley Maybe you didn't read it correctly. He said the drummer is really good and he also complimented the song. Try posting comments that make sense

[thomasjayhughes]

Their drummer is really good but I don't think he knows how to actuallly hold the sticks lol and yes I know im a percussionist. He is still a really good drummer though, good song!

[Mazza4Azza]

@thomasjayhughes

He's holding them fine

[tyzenha]

SOO GOOD!

[sirjameson9]

they remind me

[fluorescentpunk]

they remind me of Talking Heads.... mixed up with arcade Fire flare... cool stuff!

[roxygirl1055]

This is amazing!! :D

[indierockplaylist]

he has such a natural sounding voice, their music is amazing

[machirudeSan]

This. I like! :)

[1zarathustra1]

@Asti223 That would make it even worse I guess, lol. I hate being a cynic because their music is genius but these videos are absolute trash and I expect more from a band I love so much musically.

[1zarathustra1]

Such awesome music, such a shitty hipster video.

[Asti223]

@1zarathustra1 If only they used the Super 8 film or whatever lol

[FootSoldier66]

@1zarathustra1 just tell yourself it's a lost Dharma video and it will become much cooler.

[SThpunk1]

Make me happy.

[NeonUnicornsxD]

I have a crush on Simon :3 :3:3

[JessMcPhersonYoung]

Love it

[castingtherunes]

They sound like Beirut.

[juanthomas089]

@castingtherunes  I thought atlas was a song by beirut, both have similar elements

[juanthomas089]

@castingtherunes I thought atlas was a song by beirut, both have similar elements

[elainewhite1]

< 3 Fanfarlo ! ^^ APPROVED by me

[elainewhite1]

< 3 Fanfarlo ! ^^

[RandyRedCactus]

Does anybody else get major Talking Heads vibes from these guys? Maybe it's just 'cos I love them as well but seriously, their music mixs so well on playlist.

[eleauerreiese]

their melodies make me feel in peace

[HelenaMawie]

still laughing about 1:35

[ooEngineer]

Fire Escape is also another AMAZING song!

[kaileyisgreen]

This song is so incredible! LOVE! <3

[well0009]

WOW, this was sucked from ARCADE FIRE's "rebellion Lies" ?

[shaggyPLURR]

@shaggyPLURR Oh wow WMG. Why do you take everything that is wonderful from us?

[23quatro5meia78]

Why did she cut her hair :(

[traveller413]

Weird Band Name Wednesday - Fanfarlo, not too weird, but I like the song, its something even Shane could enjoy, cuz he is a total music snob. But its catchy," it has a good beat and you can dance to it"

[ErdbeerKind]

@ mlenart000: Guess that two voices can coexist, louder one meets Fanfarlo :]. Great Band. Big potential. Never heard about them yet ... <3

[CoralChannel]

I dance like fool when I hear this song. Every time.

[justcallmeyourlover9]

i'll be honest i had no idea who these guys were until my friend convinced me to see them at Bonnaroo this year.. man, what a great way to kick off a great trip!

[riseuplight]

pretty brilliant

[goingtothestore]

Ok band, but they sound exactly like Clap your Hands Say yeah.

[msrachiepooh]

great song, heard it on wfpk the other day in louisville, kentucky...want to buy the album...

[HowTheProductions]

so odd, yet so loved

[Brooksj34]

why only 150,000?

[00StableSong00]

scheiße wie geil



[assasinationnation]

best band ever

[CivilSocietyTouring]

[francismanansus]

If you like Fanfarlo, you'll love Freelance Whales. There's a free download on their Myspace page, check it out.

[Brooksj34]

@francismanansus Your right, Freelance Whales is amaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnng­ggg i just looked them up.

[sickjune]

*-* love it

[triciaball3333]

people on here are saying this sounds like the talking heads. that's the same as saying shit is similar to gold. please people. open your ears.

[momalaria]

the last like 30 seconds reminds me of the brady bunch intro haha

[MalynLaReina]

they came into my coffee shop this morning. and i think i said the most lamest things, "cause i was trying to be subtle. fail.

they are amazing

[m173627]

I love this song, but I'm trying to figure it's meaning. I know Harold Wilkins was a British journalist and writer but I'm not British so I'm not too familiar with his works. Maybe that's why I'm not getting the references. Any theories?

[ElizabethKerr]

I love this song, and now I love the music video too! :DD

[MrMrFabulouse]

haha same thing here s7ha. especially this song. i wouldn't be surprised if they were some type of descendants of talking heads or something like that.

[Schneewittchen8]

i `ve hear the song today morning the first time... and now it must be about 50 times

love it

[s7ha]

This sounds like the Talking Heads.. it makes me happy.

[jdetucci]

This song reminds me of the band X

[KeyOfEMajor]

There's so much happiness in this song :D

[MalynLaReina]

so this band came into my coffee shop early other day morning. and they were super nice and cool and we had a nice chat. and they said i should check them out.

and it was fanfarlo

and they sound amazing

[lynnfamily4]

I like this video better than the other one (the one with kerosese lamps & random hand motions). But it reminds me a lot of Casettes Won't Listen 'Freeze And Explode' with the sort of cheesy early-80s TV station vibe.

[lynnfamily4]

P.S. I just HATE when my head disappears and is replaced by a glowing polygon. Happened to me just the other day.

Seriously, I *love* this song.

[mijigifs]

I LOVE this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dillygurl]

they kinda remind me of Arcade Fire and Vampire Weekend.

good mix, great song :)

[zurdo1432]

Isn´t this so like Arcade Fire meets Beirut?

[IinnerstrengthH]

phenomenal song......reminds me a little bit of talking heads.

[perriziacl]

I like this song,so cute

[saglib1008]

Great Song. Just knocked me away the first time I heard it

[floorpuddle]

i was driving in my car when i heard it, i sped home, and kept saying Farlo T. Wilkins in my head,

i lept from my car, and ran inside to look it up!

[dewar4578]

Vampire Weekend meets Spoon, and early Eels from the mid ninties.... either way, super original in their own right.... jesus, I'm liking!!!!

[musicxobsession123]

@dewar4578 i hear some arcade fire in there too

[mullenito]

@dewar4578 Don't forget that all that mix has sex with arcade fire and a short affair with beirut.

[hellosashabell]

FIVE STARS

[bethanycharles]

iTunes is currently giving away this song for free (along with 19 other songs) as part of their "Artists to Watch" sampler. That's how I found out about this awesome song :D

[jessejps]

[kaykamay9147]

@jessejps yeah i heard this song on wclz 98.9 from maine, really good song.

[Bobman111222]

Why did fanfarlo make two different music videos for this song? The other version is on iTunes and it's very different

[Heatonator14]

Heard this song on 89.3 The Current in Minneapolis.  Good stuff!

[cesarrivas2006]

Great that you listen to The Current. Support the Public radio!!!!!!!!!

[acoustix64]

i hate it when people say " oh they sound like this person or they remind me of so n so" ..but i first heard this song today i thought, " oh, the Talking Heads got back together...cool."

great song...i hope htese guys stay together for a long time...kudos!

[onmyway07]

they remind me of fudge top cookies yum :)

[liquoroom]

[nestletreb]

They remind me of "Hey, Clap Your Polyphonic Marseilles Arcade-beirut-spree-rós-fire"

[FueledbyNewJersey]

[oldirtycass82]

[rpaulf89]

[taobecameflesh]

Oh man, this is so good.

[merdufer]

They remind me of Belle and Sebastian?

Comparisons are boring. Fanfarlo rocks.

[maestroh]

They remind me of Arcade Fire with Beirut's singer

[LeisterBurnham]

Just saw them live in Philadelphia, they were great

[sgtallstar]

<3 fanfarlo

shame i cant understand what there singing most the time, my singing alone consits of "down the same shjfe down the same shjfe down the same shjfe!" does it say street? or stream :D

[condormania]

"They sail the same strait"

[sgtallstar]

ohhh cheers :)

[mlenart000]

[smuckerlingos]

[Moglet71]

Saw them live only last night at The Flapper! Was an awesome, very personal gig. Met them afterwards too and they were really friendly and up for a chat. They could barely fit all of the instruments on stage!

[madsbf]
