The Bedroom Philosopher: Northcote (So Hungover)

[chappelhillien]

2:25 Spiderbaits the gloving up surgeon.

[trenq13]

pony ftw!!! lost my phone there once

[teamsdf10]

Humphrey B Flaubert from TISM/ D.C. Root from Root! @ 1:59!

[aus2045]

I love this song, when I was in Melbourne Nov 11, I caught a tram back to Richmond from the city and it was #86. Shit hot!

[ufo8mycat]

Saw him perform this live recently. He's taken to substituting the actual lyrics with clueless YouTube comments from people who didn't get that it's a satire. Gold.

[missdaydreamillusion]

@ufo8mycat lol i saw one of those performances! hilarious!

[matthewstras]

@ufo8mycat

Dresden Dolls? That's where my sister saw it, although some of the Youtube comments were people actually joking.

[CBMBlog]

Oh Actual tracks, for Connex haha

[Rich2969]

Saw you in Perth last night supporting Dresden Dolls- you rock man.

[emilyinbetweener]

There's nothing actually wrong with hipsters, most of my friends are one, and maybe I'm one O.o But they're better than a lot of others, even if pretentious. Most of the people at my high school are sluts and bogans who play annoying chart music out loud from their crap phones and wear slutty clothes and caked on makeup. The small group of hipsters that there is are 1000000x more interesting than them.

[FACEHEADNATEFACE1]

@emilyinbetweener your a dick head

[sarahsmilesechelon]

i love you. i saw you last night with the dresden dolls

[safejaygotm8]

shit

[pakman10]

fucking legendary

[Kelsey1309]

Totally loved these guys last night at The Dreseden Dolls!!!!! They were fricken amazing :) Love this song :) You guys need a video for acronymphomaniac

[vars666]

You have all fallen into his trap master plan of dominating post modernism. suckers

[superstar2559]

Now I can only read all the youtube comments in his voice.

[astrobic]

Zomg, why didn't I watch this sooner? Parody to perfection!

[phantomwhale]

So yeah, after laughing my ass off at this guy at the Dresden Dolls gig, I'm now going to totally have to comment on this video, so I can totally be part of the lyrics of his next performance of this. Totally meta, baby.

[FiReArNoK]

This video + the song = SO awesome :]

[PineconesForTheWin]

I love the irony of this. All of these jokes are obscure and 'underground'

Fuckin brilliant song.

[linotheundead]

"I've gotta go, I'm running out of street credit" OMGLOL

[idrils]

@preceeding If your point is that Australia is awesome, I don't even see why it had to be proven. It is inherently full of awesome.

[preceeding]

@idrils

Okay, that was just a very stupid comment I wrote late at night when I was tired.

Don't take it as offense or anything.

I've been doing comments like that lately. Regret them so much...

[tosgem]

@preceeding And the Kiwi's score a hit with Flight of the Chonchordes (I know, like, mainstream! But I'm not being indie in this post) and I'm sure there was this other Kiwi one I cna't think of. So you, go the Oceania comedy bands man.

[preceeding]

@tosgem

Whoops. Once again, late at night. *Smashes head against table*

But, can anyone find good comedy bands from America?

[limewaxer]

It strikes me that Molly Meldrum is perhaps not going to be able to interview them right now.

[wackywankavator]

What is that, a german english accent? o_O

[nanandpoprecords]

@wackywankavator This accent is the effect of American TV on Australians.

[cageofman]

If you;re not from Melbourne there would be heaps of jokes you wouldnt really get.

[TRCindustries]

@cageofman i get all the jokes and i've never been to mebourne....you arsehole.

[90hannahcampbell]

@cageofman im not even from Australia and I get all the jokes. Hipsters are wonderfully universal.

[HurfNurf]

@90hannahcampbell some of the jokes are australia/melbourne-specific, like molly meldrum, rage guest programming rights, connex, pony, etc

[dano555666]

Fucking lost it when I saw the flashy cuts of the Jazzmaster.

"Oh what, you wanna be in a band? Bro you totes gotta get a Jaguar or a Jazzmaster or you won't be cool. Strats are so mainstream. We can't be indy without a Rickenbacker bassplayer and Jazzmaster players!"

Ah, the details.

[jeckeljoan]

Why are there so many hipsters in australia?

[rochiii]

@jeckeljoan because of our good minimum wage rates its easy to make ok money and it gives you a vibe that your doing something with your life. But in reality they just have a high disposable income spending similar to mainstream spending habits but cannot fathom this in their brain, and think its different because their money goes to a opp shop.

Something along those lines

[DukeOfRigel]

The funniest clip ever! I hear these sort of people on the trains all the time!

[Sibra3libra]

i fucking love melbourne.

[Hynee]

The iPhone 3 really dates video, I'd prefer Rihanna.

[matthewstras]

"The last thing I want to become is a clichéd character"

This is genius.

[grapisavillain]

One of "hipsters" in the video used to deal me weed. LMAO!

[grapisavillain]

Sad to say, but something Northcote isn't lacking, and that's hipsters. Still, one of the best suburbs in Melbourne.

[timm3ad]

45 hipsters had to got to hospital to get their skinny jeans cut off

[Derp1978]

sorry but this song... even though trying to be satire... is awful.

[4060Bofor]

Is that Tim Rogers out of You Am I at 2:32 ?

[MegaMattwhite]

@4060Bofor yeah and Kram from spiderbait too I believe.

[nhodgie]

@MegaMattwhite Yeah I just picked them out as well. Pretty awesome filmclip in general. May have to re-watch it and find everyone that's made an appearance.

[Kitteninabag]

@4060Bofor yes, yes it is.

[acreativealias]

tofu salad was the highlight haha :)

[YooToobCanSuckIt]

is that Damian Cowell at 1:59?

[Zengx]

Those hipster nurses were fu*king HOT!!!

[heatherunderwoodcmc]

Laters !!!!!!!!!!

[Kch0p]

Hahaha! I've watched this so many times and it never gets old. Love it!

[HurfNurf]

molly meldrum kudos

[longfeatures14]

Hot hipster nurses.

[jkissane1]

Isn't the bedroom philosopher infact a hipster himself?? A song about hipsters by a hipster.. Ironic

[weirdcode1]

@jkissane1 yeah man its like called like self-juxtaposition... y'know he's like deconstructing his own identity within the conformist social milieu

[daverwob]

Love it. So detailed.

[Juntske]

you cunts are past gay

[Buddha117]

2:32 Tim Rogers! LOL

[bomberclifford]

@Buddha117 and Kram. What a surgical team!

[MoMember88]

I live on the 86 line laugh so hard as we go through northcote I sware i have seen the actual guy the song inspired

[flambrick]

I liked the 86 tram was known as the psycho tram and the 'indie artists'' got off the tram before Queens Parade went under the railway bridge at the Merri Creek.

[shizzlepixen]

what the hell haha.

[strangesoundsful]

hating on conformists, got this song on vinyl sorry.

[some1elsenotyou]

love this.... its sah indie

[jonship]

The accent is the ONLY bit I dont get!

[madrx2]

@jonship most hipster guys sound like that....

[FelixNothus]

@jonship

It's really underground, you've probably never heard of it.

[ElFreddoAndRubyScoo]

Love this tune but never seen the video until now - awesome, it backs the lyrics up very well. It's sad really, but I'm glad I'm not one of them that's having some good old harmless fun poked at them!

[Ilikelimpbizkit]

A greatest hits concept E.P.

That's great.

[bongo155]

If you watch a lot of the anit-hipster videos on youtube most of them are just puerile and nasty - one even goes as far to insult people who dont like Celine Dion. What I love about this video is that it pokes fun of the inner-city trendie types (hipsters) without being abusive or nasty.

[lloossaaww]

Yeah I've been riding around on the 86, SO hungover, and probably still wasted lol

[saitu83]

hahahahaha. this video is so true! i know people like this and it's actually pretty pathetic. they're trying to be different but they just look like tools

[bjj257]

at 2:32 is Tim Rodgers from You Am I!!!

[Wraithriel]

@bjj257 And at 1:58 is Humphrey B. Flaubert from TISM.

[saxymax]

My mate from croxton reckons you're a fag

[frankii77]

"The awkwardstra"? That is.. brilliant.

[jacutts]

funny, that last comment sounds a lot like someone who is bickering

[plnckrsn]

COOL! Tim and Kram...2 legends of Aussie ROCK in this video

[pansagittarius]

omg with these glasses can he actually explore the outerspace?

[citiesneversleep]

This scares me

[TheMpickup]

I have witnessed this tool in a previous life.This is no act! We went to the same school and he was torture back then. He was Mr University and I'm sure his dorm room was wallpapered exclusively with pictures of wil anderson

[ryanthesound]

@TheMpickup "I knew him before he was famous, im saa indie"

[muel53]

melbourne in a nutshell, god i love it

[boogiefever1985]

Thumbs up if you saw a hipster today

[hellorabbits]

... we're signed with independent records.. it's like an off-shoot of sony

[sparticle1]

Helleow Yah but monthe pheone, it like yneow

[parhhesia]

The 86 is so mainstream now.

[20jazzfunkgreats]

@parhhesia the moreland is really fucken obscure, check it out if you can find it

[CelsiusShark]

I'm a 96 fan myself.

[jonh013]

is it ironic because theyre acting alot like hipsters, or because it makes them hipsters for even making the video?

[unstoppableExodia]

LOL "a memory stick full of myspace friends"

[CelsiusShark]

86 is like to Bundoora... why would you go to Bundoora?

[P0WERMAY0]

@theodores23tube 86 goes up Smith St you JACKASS, not Brunswick St.

[slh950]

@CelsiusShark RMIT and La Trobe university both have campuses there

[CelsiusShark]

@slh950

Yeah, I was just being shitty to Bundoora. I know plenty of people who take the 86.

[Vote1Jimmy]

Lol one of the tags "Stuff White Poeple Like*

[tomelifeisjustonebig]

They should be going to Polyester to see if Crouchy and Lobby can hook them up.

[lovetigerlily]

JB Hi Fi is so mainstream.

[ILoveMack4Life]

hehehehe I've been to the alleyway there XDDD

[duprie37]

Meh - the 86 tram is going the way of the 112 and the 96 - like so NOT hip anymore. The 57/82 tram's where you need to be if you wanna be like "authentic".

[obiterdicta]

@duprie37

Western Suburbs.. *vomits*

[BigDeanoSyd]

@duprie37 you are hilarious

[bodysurfer3]

This was first heard on FBI radio in Sydney 94.5 fm. This is where the hipsters go to listen to music - FBI have won all sorts of awards, Grammys, Oscars, Logies, MTV peoples awards. Even Richard Branson listens to them!

[fuzzz182]

he said that they're called prawns not shrimp, and that you battle at life. civilised enough for you?

also on a lighter note...is that kram for spiderbait at 2:25??

[CentralVisionStudios]

@fuzzz182 yep thats kram! and tim rogers!!!!



[Amargosa2006]

Just realised that Sad Sanderson is probably Angry Anderson's long lost relative.

[ghettodank2]

Hello, this is an American here. Is this serious, or satire?

shrimp on the barbie

[theodores23tube]

@ghettodank2

Hahaha. It's satire. Can you not tell? A song dedicated to hipsters. America is flooded with them.

[Logicbeatslies]

@ghettodank2 It's real. Everything is real. Everything you think you know about Australia is real and any opinions you want to thrust upon us, too, are both real necessary for our development. From Australia I thank you for your concern.

[ivekilledbefore]

@ghettodank2 fucking american faggots. they are prawns you battler.

[ghettodank2]

@ivekilledbefore I do not understand your inferior dialect Sir, please speak actual civilized English as opposed to your outback steakhouse shrimp-on-the-barbie Australian version.

[bubbleapple13]

@ghettodank2

*Ahem* Excuse me, but American English differs from British English a lot more than Australian English. Just sayin'. Anyway, whether it's 'shrimp' or 'prawn' it doesn't matter. Act your age and quit bickering. v.v

[ghettodank2]

@bubbleapple13 I am acting my age, I'm 12.

[VolV8]

When I need to get the tram on the other side of the river I think of this song.

[benrys]

fucking love it... triple j dvd introduced me to this... much lolz

[OhWowAshDoesThings]

2:31, Tim Rogers. Wow.

[Rhielovesyouami92]

@OhWowAshDoesThings Too right man.

[ni486]

i liked this before it was popular...

[seancorn99]

@ni486 That's like so Indie...

[feedingear]

40 hipsters couldn't face the music.

[goengler77]

lol

[sparklesnbubbles]

I think of Lisa Mitchell...

[sparklesnbubbles]

"Hipster: Someone who listens to bands you've never heard of, wears ironic tee-shirts, and believes they are better than you..."

[toshiboiable]

this video is off the hipster chart.

[jazze2778]

This guy is hilarious!!!! He stereotypes so well, I know too many white boy arty wannabes just like this guy!!! So sad to think that many of these guys' grandfathers would have been able to lift a 15kg weight without needing psychotherapy and antidepressants afterwards!!!!

[brak54321]

Myspace, Kings of Leon, Connex references this "song" is already passé

[jamjennie]

Ha. KRAM and The lead singer of You Am I are in the clip.

[kaih8941]

this is DEAD ON - and pretty funny

[valleyarm]

This song is awesome!

- Valleyarm

[whattahead22]

well meybe, we should just catch the tran in malburn

[MrOlesed]

@whattahead22 well maybe . . . hey the funniest thing happened on the bus after you got off! So funny.

[whattahead22]

@MrOlesed what happened? did he take you to the city without stopping?

[MrOlesed]

@whattahead22 Well first the driver missed two stops in a row and EVERYONE raged at him (much to my amusement). Then Mamady through a bread roll out the window and hit a man on a bicycle . . . who proceeded to ride ahead of the bus, hail it, barge on board and threaten Mamady with a savage beating. I was adequately amused. Bus driver seemed indifferent about the proceedings. If only it happened on a tram!

[whattahead22]

@MrOlesed Mamady is such an idiot, and the bus driver is so mainstream.. we need to change the bus route to a tram line

[cockardo]

Is one of the doctors Ruby Rose? I know the other two are Tim Robbins and Kram...

[cm410856]

@cockardo one of them is tim rogers

[cockardo]

@cm410856

My bad, that's who I meant.

[isonthetube]

is that Tim Rogers at 2:32?

[sparklesnbubbles]

"Rage Against The Sewing Machine" - heheheheheh!!

[popnjs]

Note to self: do not move to Melbourne

[cockardo]

@popnjs

Melbourne itself isn't that bad.... you're going to run into pretentious douchebags almost anywhere you go anyway.... you might as well just enjoy the hilarity they bring to our lives.

[plakey2001]

Hipsters...gosh they make me laugh.

[DoctaKraft]

Awesome track. Makes me laugh every time.

[bambinojam87]

All of this is so true. I FUCKING HATE HIPSTERS.

[spotmon]

@bambinojam87 What they ever do to you man?

[noofa88]

Anyone know where the Fitzroy Anti-Social Club is?

[Logicbeatslies]

@noofa88 Probably "northcote social club".

[belbird]

@noofa88

The Workers Club on the corner of Brunswick and Gertrude

[deano1337]

2:30 Tim Rogers i didnt see that before haha

[alannahgeek]

@deano1337 and kram from spiderbait!

[raithistlethwayte]

Great song, great video, well written and directed. Thank u for posting.

[DeafFret]

that's illegal. you're not allowed to ride without a helmet.

[kayman93]

@DeafFret Depends where you live o:)

[janeaustenfan100]

What is this hipster trash?

[skippinggirlvinegar]

this is basically just a music video representation of melbourne, and I mean that in the worst way possible. and I completely agree with the Megan Washington thing

-__-

[Wraithriel]

Holy shit is that DC Root doing the mixing?

[d1sintegration]

this is legitimately almost every guy i know

[annaisjesus]

Nah man we haven't sold out we've still got creative control!

[benIbarwick]

Rage Against The Sewing Machine. All about anger and fashion. <3

[aus2045]

[EvLoutonian]

[123willy4]

The lighting is really bad.

[weaselidiotu]

[jeckeljoan]

1:54 That's Exactly How Hipsters Look at Shows.
