[animatedrouge2]

Am I the only one who thought the person who thought Tom at 1:53 looked like Sufjan Stevens?

[Torrienne]

[HosieryLiam]

I can't get over how ridiculous Gareth's hair looks in this, all ginger and straight

Roll on Hello Sadness!

[MsCellolad]

@RyansHappyRiot okay. :P

[dreoable]

[randomsash]

Damn, the bassist is quite an attractive gal. She's...spicy.

[999policeanimations]

what a band. what a song

[maniacchris]

how have I never heard of this band before? I only discovered them because of that budweiser commerical.

[taraflo94]

@maniacchris i had about the biggest spaz attack when i was in the kitchen and i heard the "you! me! dancing!" playing in the other room on espn. of all songs they picked LC!... :p and they finally got on american tv :]

[nikesbj]

@maniacchris Haha because amazing music is almost never popular :D

[guerreroespartano]

I´m spanish and can´t understand a simple word... but I love los campesinos, can´t stop listening them!!!!! (don´t know if i wrote the post good, hehehe)

[rajivk91]

Greatest Lyricist.

[TheFunctionsMusic]

i have loved los campesinos for aaaaaagggess but only just realised this song existed by looking at old setlists cos it didn't make the first album did it?

[yogmen]

does anyone know where i can download the song?

it completely rocks!!!

[Hariettluff]

I love what the ginger girl is wearing at the start!

[JoJosG]

Lol favorite part is when there doing The I and T thing and Gareth turns around with that smirk makes me laugh everytime...

[jonsonkie]

should've been the biggest song of 2007

[brokennarcissist]

Self aggrandizing comment about taste in music.

[4NrAGS]

@brokennarcissist redundant comment expressing amusement by your own.

[cannedkitty]

this is infuriatingly bad

[TheAngryChav]

@cannedkitty yr infuriatingly bad.

[markrochman94]

@TheAngryChav ah mousa, you do make me laugh. and we should stop finding each other on youtube. its scary

[TheAngryChav]

@markrochman94 MARK! well it's an inevitability, and i think that we should just embrace it.

[Hariettluff]

I cant hear it properly. Is that just the way its recorded? I love them thoughhhh :')

But the woman at the end cant sing. :l

[parrboy7415]

@Hariettluff It's all the same women you dick, the other's are miming.

[taraflo94]

aw aleks is so pretty!

[dcrelentlesssk8]

where can you but this song from?

[taraflo94]

@dcrelentlesssk8 itunes? but i don't think they have the music video.

[VestaVesVesStar]

@dcrelentlesssk8 Amazon!

[dcrelentlesssk8]

where can you but this song from?

[loveyellowcard1994]

that bassist is so freakin hot.

[guerreroespartano]

Just love los campesinos! knew about them 5 days ago, cant stop listening to them, i´ve a good feeling hearing this, wanna start to dance like a bear and jump. Funny they have their name in spanish, hehe, we don´t use campesino too much (it´s and old word) but i like, cause in spain many bands have english names. Sorry about mine by the way, i tried hard to write this long post

[mistersleeepy]

It's a shame about his voice.

[taraflo94]

@mistersleeepy LOOL

[ShieldStar]

I LOVE this song. So upbeat, especially the periodic rolling guitar, glockenspiel and drums :54 and 2:52. Had it as my ringtone for a while.

[KillTheOrbs]

Whoever clicked "Dislike" is doing it wrong.

[wizardoftoast]

Gareth <3

[fastertortoise2]

he's george. george mcfly

[The5thDay]

Ollie was probably a really cute baby.

[VestaVesVesStar]

@The5thDay I like how everyone else is commenting on the music and you are commenting on how cute baby Ollie would be. x3

[MissSamanthaP]

God, I love this song.

[DFLAGS]

dude the bassist is SO fine!

[wondergirlcassie]

What is Aleks playing in the last shot? Its like a mini-keyboard with a mouthpiece.

[mikey7872]

@wondergirlcassie its a melodica!! :) my friend has one

[wondergirlcassie]

@mikey7872 Thanks! That's so cool!

[streetballerv310]

so many namedrops

[DeceptiveKyle2]

that...was...FAKINGBAWESOMNEZZ­Z :DD

[jg00neg]

freakin' incredible!!!!!!!!!

[Tubbs88]

With the utmost respect this song just made me want to go to England and meet some really really fine girls

[markrochman94]

1:57 HES WEARING A MENOMENA TSHIRT

[AidanChalklin]

The viola in this song makes it.... without it, the song would be pretty bland.

More bands sound use them

[FocusFTW]

@AidanChalklin Brother, I suggest you listen closer. Drop one instrument. Just try to find one you could drop that wouldn't make this song suck. THAT right there is what makes this band brilliant. Pick any song and it works, if you take away anything then the song is not complete. That's fucking music.

[marcomora455]

I <3 LC!

ps-Aleks is sooo hot in this video.

[roryrandomlyrocks]

I love this band so so so much, but his haircut makes him look like a wanker.

[MissSamanthaP]

I seriously love this song. It is so good.

[warrior1428]

what is the International Tweexcore Underground

[sammakesmusic]

its a song.

[DanFace711]

look how different gareth's hair looks!

[dszyr]

@DanFace711 You could almost not know Gareth was in the band before this too, in the Hold on Now, Youngster era film clips they seem to intentionally show very little of him for a front man.

I guess he didn't have 'the look' back then.

[xXWeezerXx]

I know it's corny but the ending gives me chills.

[JOSHISPOSI]

@xXWeezerXx lol same ^_^

[kjzz12]

This band puts happy feelings in my heart.

[reltonpelton]

'henry rollins was known to attend beat happening shows and heckle calvin johnson'

im sorry , i love beat happening but that is genius

[iv1492]

me too :)

[DavidsIllustrations]

that man has a belly

[borecafe]

who the fuck listens to this?

[peenishead]

me.

[wavelength84]

also me

[spawnshank]

Clearly not you Mr. I-have-bad-musical-taste.

[spawnshank]

No. It's a band.

This is what we call a "music video."

Moron.

[borecafe]

Sure it's a band, and not a "band"?

[Superdude66]

Taste isn't "Good" or "Bad." Merely subjective.

[MorbolDerGrosse]

@borecafe dumb hipster douches ...

[abillionpaperstars]

what is The International Tweexcore Underground, exactly ?

[ltgreatsocks]

This is why we can't have nice things!

[marianalynch]

this song is in reference to the strained relationship that punk and twee shared in the 80s-90s. henry rollins was known to attend beat happening shows and heckle calvin johnson. twee was just too fucking cute for punks, who were... well, angry.

yet punk undoubtedly had its influence on the indiepop scene. pitchfork said twee was punk for happy kids, or something like that, i dunno.

clearly "the international tweexcore underground will save us all" is talking about reconciliation of the two.

[marianalynch]

oh, and the name is a direct reference to the six day "international pop underground" festival, which was crucial to the development of the indiepop scene. absolutely landmark event. wish i was alive then. :'(

[ScarletttCat]

2: 41 - 2: 51

They look like Arcade Fire Junior!!!XD

Very cool and nice and sweet band!!!

Live to Los Campesinos!

[bennking123]

this video is great. love los campesinos!

[TheBabyRapist]

Gareth's cuteness ftw.

[rabidhippo5]

i care about henry and ian...

anyways this band is hella good

[afrokid53]

this is poo

[lonloncow]

this is not twee gtfo

[alsamila]

00:57 Gareth has the cutest face there. ^_^

[vegando10]

aleekss left because she wanted to finish school  /:

[thedumbshow123]

-_-

[wombat989]

WHY DID ALEKS HAVE TO LEAVE!?

[ltgreatsocks]

goddammnit they're so awesome. They better come back to florida.

[SkullyMan73]

Wtf they were in Florida?!

WHEN?

WHAT?

[ltgreatsocks]

they were in tampa last president's day. Titus andronicus opened. Fucking awesome show.

[TheBabyRapist]

he's cute!

[TheBabyRapist]

(Gareth)

[brokennarcissist]

Henry Rollins always bugged me too! (I hope they weren't being ironic)

[atthemiguein]

They play a Black Flag cover on the The International Tweexcore Underground single, so...

[imnottonibraxton]

haha love how it's done like a shitty high school production :)

[panella2008]

i love these fags!

[x3akx3]

fags

[headvsheart08]

ooer @ all of them in the "pit orchestra" so attractive. esp. neil in those glasses! delicious.

[brilliantfranz]

.

is this what some people might call hipsters music,

ain´t it ?

[MehGahWah]

it's more like what people would call twee music

[daveboy2810]

twee lol werent they taking the piss?

simple indie pop in my eyes

love them sooo much, new album this summer :D

[coffeebeaner]

Twee is dead as fuck.

:(

[jessicapancakes]

tell that to weepop, cloudberry, the indiepoplist and the like five popfests happening this year in the US alone. now go watch a just jones video and feel better.

[brokennarcissist]

and Riot Grrrl is a halloween costume.

[febreeze14]

I saw them live AND met Gareth yesterday! they were amazing, the crowd was dead :(, and he's soooooo incredibly nice. I wish them all the best in life<3

[kinseychris]

it gets better every time i hear this.

[falpatrick]

Most exciting thing to happen to music in years, so much passion. Fucking love them

[ThroneMonkey]

Haha yeah this really is great. I love how they mock music snobbery while kind of coming off like snobs themselves at the same time. They're brilliant.

[OceanCold]

DEATH TO LOS CAMPESINOS ^^!!!!

Wiii!! so much fun XD

[Hexadecimalized]

this simply sux

[vibbly]

is this the end of culture?

[xDrinkingxPerfumex]

What are you talking about boy?

[geller100]

Awesome Band!

[cattac2007]

I LOVE THIS BAND~~!!. also i belive every one in this bad is really cute... the drum player looks so cute when hes in that suit

[WTFmuchProductions]

agreed!!!

[joeXmaspunk]

These kids seem too young to reference these artists. still a pretty good parody of music snobbery. puts me in my place.

[thefallofjames123]

Los Campesinos is like a punk orchestra.

haha.

grrrrrr-eat songg.

[ph33rbot101]

@thefallofjames123 punk? Like the sex pistols? How does this make sense? There like twee indie, not punk, they can play instruments.

[sidwerd1hater]

LONG LIVE LOS CAMPEINOS

[TechnoCandyCane]

very addictive band :D

just what i nedded

[kheperas]

my year in lists is better

[desertfox2490]

The girls of Los Campesinos! are really pretty

[kakaze]

Don't tell the band that or they'll have your head off.

[xDrinkingxPerfumex]

Why?

[ribenaptchoowww]

their about the music. not "ooh, we have pretty grrls in our band. YOU HAVE TO LIKE US NOW!"

[barrasse]

Los Campesinos! are so underated.

top band

[planethaste]

choonage :) i know a henry rollins and i dnt care for him neither w00t

[engelillop]

when I listen to los campesinos I feel happy

[Tapeleg247]

Good thing.

[olicat9]

this song is absolutely terrible, and that singer is obnoxious. i'm sorry guys.

[Roselicious411]

this is such a fun and addictive song.

i happened to love it from the...second time i heard it lol

[Legioneic]

This is the type of awful navel-gazing indie-rocker song that I usually hate but somehow I've ended up enjoying the song anyway despite its cringe-worthy qualities. Hurrah!

[Flip776]

Bass and Melodica players are HOT!

[FarewellWorld]

I have no idea what International Tweexcore Underground is, and I don't care. It's just such a fun son.

[tettheman]

i never felt how i feel when listenning to Los Campesinos!

[engelillop]

exactly

[your1momma2was3here]

i love the look the singer has at :58... His hair looks the best in this video too. I want to say his name is Ollie?

[christy1133]

Gareth (Y)

[mywonderwallxp]

ollie is such a cutie.

[Stagolee22]

this is bullcrap

[headvsheart08]

ahhhhhhhhhh. lovelovelove. and neil with glasses? yes! although all of them are quite lovely, in fact.

and btw, rooky102, it's a glockenspiel, not a xylophone.

[rooky102]

hardcore xylophone playing, XD

[carcrash89]

This is probably my favorite on of their songs. It's awesome.

[friendlier]

Exactly their point. It's not 1989 anymore, grandpa.

[LeviAAA]

Aye okay kiddo. I'd like see how exactly the 'independent' music scene would of progressed without Ian MacKaye, Calvin Johnson or Henry Rollins.

[friendlier]

Or the Clash without any "Elvis, Beatles, or the Rolling Stones."

So what?

[olesammie]

ere m8 one of their songs features Calvin Johnson u fucking idiot

[LeviAAA]

Learn to type in English you fucking scrotum.

[dropkickmurphy9]

This should've been on the damn album (still a good album mind you).

[canceric09]

i just started listening to this band, but...

that brunette on the keyboard.... CUTE.

[maciejoooooooooooooo]

go ahead,have a wank-thats what music is all about.

[Scrabble31]

Good summation

[SaintsandSailors09]

this is the best theve looked.

since ive listened to them.

lol.

I LOVE this song.

soooo much.

[shredlessmarmalade]

omg! I high fived the lead singer dude when they played in Lancaster! and I got one of their plectrums!!

[jack634]

lol awesome, i wish that happened to me but ive never seen them play live :(

[luluawesomeness]

can anyone tell me what this song is about? i love it but i'm a tad confused

[timothyahall]

It's basically a love-letter to indiepop. Notice the lyrics namedrop Amelia Fletcher, Sarah Records, Calvin Johnson etc.

[jillf422]

Okay, I've already posted this before, but you might like it. A quote about this song from Aleksandra: "Even though they're totally against each other's musical viewpoints (the two characters written about in this), they're the only people in the town who actually understand anything about music," says Aleks. "They kind of unite against everyone else in the town. Even though they're very different, their passion for different types of music brings them together."

[mattgrant1]

The International Tweexcore Underground!

how can my brother accuse this of being puffy when he just went out and bought 6 gerbils and one of them is called "cutesy"

this is fooking awesome :)

[FidelioRoo]

Hey, Glockenspiel dude, you're my hero.
