Belle and Sebastien - crap/not crap?

[Flashman]

what the fuck is 'twee' anyway. Everytime someone mentions B&S someone somewhere says 'oh their a bit twee' its like some line that has to regurgitated everytime someone mentions them. I don't think Ive ever heard b&s mentioned in public without hearing the twee word following it.
Anyway...I only have tigermilk but I think its a great album, most of the singles I've heard have been good too although im not so keen on the latest one.

It's what idiots who haven't heard much by them, say about them; "ooh too twee, where's me Linkin Park record".

A lot of B&S songs are fucking hard man.

I love 'em me.

Poeple misunderstand twee. Often.

I love this lyric

We lay on the bed there
Kissing just for practice
Could we please be objective?
Cause the other boys are queuing up behind us
A hand over my mouth
A hand over the window
Well, if I remain passive and you just want to cuddle
Then we should be ok, and we won’t get into trouble
Cause we’re seeing other people
At least that’s what we say we are doing

 

[Sunspots]

It's not the lyrics that don't agree with me; it's how they're delivered, and the music itself. Far too studied for my liking.

I do love songs with a good story in 'em though.

 

[dirtysanta]

Yeah the Monkees... fantastic tv show *sniggers*

Great tunes though !

 

[beeboo]

Bestest band ever!

I won't hear of this 'twee' nonsense Do The Velvet Underground get tarred with the 'twee' brush as well?? harumph!

Two words for you: 'Sister Ray'.

 

[Iam]

It's not the tweeness that bothers me, per se.

It's that they're fucking rubbish.

VU. Hehehe.

 

[iROBOT]

I've only recently got into this lot, best songs about football ever.

 

[Ich bin ein Mod]

Utterly fantastic (and how great they got best newcomer ahead of Steps at the Brits )

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

So crap it hurts.

 

[Dubversion]

they're not crap - some of their songs are very good indeed - but i don't quite get why they're so revered...

 

[Waterfall]

My favourite discovery of the past five years. Fantastic live shows (letting audience members on stage to dance or sing ) and Stuart is one of the most fan-tolerant and likeable musicians I've ever had the luck to meet.

Christ they sound worse than I thought.


Some twat I used to work with used to go on fan picnics with them that the band organised. How lame is that? Being in a shit arse pussy no song band and organising picnics for your fans. I think only about 5 people used to turn up.

..Being in a shit arse pussy no song band.. QUOTE]
Your musical difference of opinion I would be prepared to accept - some of my best friends don't like B & S.

Your language, though, marks you out as a fuckwit regardless of your personal taste. If you don't like 'em, fine. if you can't give an intelligible reason, keep it fucking short.

Would anybody come?

 

[sonik]

They RULE! End of.............

 

[subversplat]

*drops big scary punk rocker image for a moment*

I thought they were quite good when they were foisted upon me about this time last year. I don't think I'd buy any of their albums but they were resonable mellow music that isn't bloody ambient techno

*resumes facade*

Of course I'd never tell my mates that! *stretches shoulders, juts out bottom jaw, etc. etc.*

 

[Mogden]

Wasn't keen on them at all in my uni days. Then Flashman moved in and I was converted Boy with the arab strap is one of the most uplifting tune ever.
