It's still brilliant.

 

There's something so high-energy about them somehow.

Didn't you put "Winter Wooskie" on your mixtape? :wacky:

Belle & Sebastian’s name inspiration dies

 

Children’s author Cécile Aubry succumbs to lung cancer

 

Cécile Aubry, writer of the children’s book and cult French television series Belle et Sébastien, from which the Scottish indie group took their name, has died age 81.

 

About a boy who lives in the mountains with his pet dog, the popular book was adapted by Aubry into a black and white television series in 1965, starring Aubry’s son Mehdi El Glaoui.

 

A dubbed version was broadcast by the BBC in the late 1960s and the original run of episodes was followed by two further series, which were filmed in colour.

 

Before embarking on a career as a children’s writer, Aubry was an actress, starring alongside Orson Welles in 1950’s The Black Rose, reports The Guardian.

I can't fucking get that song out of my head

Not that's something bad, but I'm seriously attached to their music.

Haha, oops. Sorry, Ricardo. :tongue:

Yay! :awesome:

 

I think they are becoming one of my favourite artists, maybe one day even my favourite. :wacko:

 

I need to buy some albums. :awesome:

I would appreciate if you guys ranked the albums from best to worst for me. :blush:

You expect us to rank them!? SHAME ON YOU. :angry:

 

:heart:

:disappointed:

:hug:

 

You're a relatively new B&S fan, right? Well, I'd suggest starting from the most recent and going backwards. :nice:

I have The Life Pursuit and Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant already, and I was gonna buy some off Ebay because I am cool but I didn't know which ones to get first but apparently I can't go wrong since those two seem to be the world's least favourite so if I like them I'll love the others. :P :lol:

Get "Dear Catastrophe Waitress." :cheesy:

Okay. :cheesy:
