Song For The Painfully Indie

[IgnorantorEvil]

Charlie @2:00 :D

[talflick]

OMG I FOUND ANOTHER LEFT HANDED SHERATON PLAYER

WE'RE BEST FRIENDS NOW !

[talflick]

@talflick adding to the madness: that strat has the same guitar strap, the cow/pony print one... wtf

[wRockobsession]

I love how tom looks that nice in a dress....but charlie looks sad :(

[HowNotToMakeVideos]

yea, i hate indies...



[jokernu1fan]

@HowNotToMakeVideos He's an Indie...Alex Day is an Indie

[LadyLorena7]

Tom... You look worryingly good in that dress

[Valyinish]

Fuck why did i ever unsubscribe to this guy. I forgot how awesome this song is

[mypasswordistaco]

That awkward moment when Tom's legs look nicer in a dress than your own. :P

[vussianspy]

@Valyinish You unsubscribed!?!? I hope thats changed.

[Valyinish]

@vussianspy Naturally

[vussianspy]

@Valyinish You got me scared then.

[theduckinmotion]

at 2.02 is charlie

[sgtfwoods]

I used to think you were, well a bit odd, but then I realized you were not odd you are awesome! Subscribing now, because you are awesome and I really like your music!

[thatsthecrazyone]

I'm not friends with my (ex) best friend anymore because she had no respect for Tom, Ed, Charlie, or Alex. She also thought that I was a freak because I listen to "crappy british music". She should get slapped. -__-

[poniessparkle]

Oddly enough... Tom kinda looks okay in a dress.... Hmm

[stargleekwhofighter]

Why has this taken so long for me to listen to? I've been meaning to for a while, and I'm glad I finally did :). Love it Tom!

[epsilon127]

are we seriously arguing about tom's past girlfriends

SERIOUSLY

[zegingersquirrel]

tell me is there any music instrument he can't play?

[SOADsam7]

2:34 charlie? o.O

[amberroberts21]

I love the way Tom walks.. I dunno why.. I just do.

[Thatonegirlwithanime]

*looks down at my clothes* I-I'm wearing something similar to Tom. Oh Lord.

[GuitarCoverErik]

kill him



[zegingersquirrel]

hee hee XD Charlie

[TheTacosAreCold]

You can definitely tell the difference between an American guy singer and a British guy singer.

[GameDroid98]

@TheTacosAreCold I love your playlist name. XD

[TheTacosAreCold]

@GameDroid98 Same about yours. I have Alex Day, Charlie McDonnell and Tom on mine.

[GameDroid98]

@TheTacosAreCold This is just the playlist I change based on what's on my mind. It used to have meekakitty and Alex Day on it with a couple other random videos.

[BowTiesAreCoolLike98]

Best song for Christmas eve! xx Luvs Tom milsom!!!!! x

[FromHundredAcreWood]

@thetimelady42 he's bi. he had a girlfriend hatti and then a boyfriend ben. but he's not with ben anymore as far as i know.

[MoonMacaroon]

105 thumbs up on my comment, aw yeah.

Tom with blond hair > Tom with blue hair.

Blond hair suits him... :D

[Pseudonym655]

Lol- 'tell girls you fancy them by getting with their boyfriends'

[BlackSiriusly]

I saw Tom Milsom in a dress... and then I hit the subscribe button.

[Frickingcoolshrimp]

he looks really good in that dress

[livvievloggsforcake]

Heeeyyyy!! I love Indie!! :'((

[lachatestsurlamur]

@livvievloggsforcake He's not really saying he hates Indies, he's just saying that the "indie music scene has become so overfussed".

[mosesmybabes]

I'm so Indie, I'm just going to go and comb my fringe now while listening to a band that no ones heard of and eating quarn because its not even meat.

[LewisRproductions]

Really? In one month nobody could make a better comment than a quote from the song?

[Pr3t3ndAng3l]

Of course he can play accordion too.....

[summer2011leggo]

i can relate w ths song btw charlie's in the video!

[UnordinaryTalent]

Heh. Indie is actually my favourite genre.

But I'm NOT trying to be different; I just hate the style that most other music follows.

But I love Trock, and whatever genre Tom's music is :)

[iemiline]

@UnordinaryTalent Trock is Timelord rock, all songs from the tv-show Doctor Who. This is not trock because it's not lyrics from Doctor Who. But, anyways, you should listen to Chameleon Circuit, the inventors of trock, because it's quite fantastic.

[UnordinaryTalent]

@iemiline ~ Thanks, but I know what Trock is (Doctor Who is my favourite TV show) - I said I love it in my previous comment, and Chameleon Circuit is one of my favourite bands. :) I was just wondering what genre Tom Milsom's music would be. Oh I see what you mean; that comment wasn't very clear. But read it again: "I love trock, and whatever genre Tom's music is", meaning I love trock, and I love the kind of music Tom makes, whatever that is. :) Hope that's clearer.

[iemiline]

@UnordinaryTalent oh ok! I was just a little confused.... thanks for clearing up though! :)

[UnordinaryTalent]

@iemiline ~ No problem ^_^

[BrendaC678]

did anyone else think "jesus tom looks very like charlieissocoollike in the shot.. ooh..."?

[spinnever]

still one of the best music videos of all time

[livingonarainbowhigh]

NO. NO MORE CRAP AUNT BESSIE'S ADVERTS.

I just want to watch Tom's music and his amazing face.

[laurenrebekkah21]

@HomelessDragons they were further down but it obviously doesn't apply to you so why does it matter?

[SuicidalMarsbar]

So good to see someone else who hates the indie's. Also that is one great bassist!

[bunnyman1996]

@SuicidalMarsbar im pretty sure he isn't saying he hates indies (yes, its a plural, no apostrophes) just the fact that the indie scene is getting too over the top, and try-hard... they aren't even indies anymore, they just suck... but the first indies, the good ones who like oasis and kieser chiefs, are pretty cool ^.^

[kufre355]

I favourited this as soon as I saw Tom in a dress. xD

[laurenrebekkah21]

Stop hating on someone who is obviously more talented then you'll ever be. Tom milsom is amazing.

[HomelessDragons]

@laurenrebekkah21 No one is hating....

[thetimelady42]

Heterosexuality's not my defining feature? Oh gosh, please tell me you are straight. You're too beautiful.

[spy0time]

skinny jeans and cardigans IS all you need!

[moviekingjames]

@thetimelady42 ew.

[thetimelady42]

@moviekingjames

Why is that ew? I think it's adorable. Unless actual ew factors apply (ie. incest, one of them being a pedophile, she's lesbian, etc.)

[gooodmorningmoon]

this guitar, especailly in the beginning, sorta reminds me of "smells like teen spirit"

[Haylstarr]

@mithrathephoenix

I am insanely jealous! o_o

[OHMYGODtherainswet]

i saw charlie and i was like CHARLIE! :D

[yusmiffins]

aww where's Alex Day? Anyway I lovelovelove this <3

[xRawRxIzAdInoX]

Awwww, Charlie looks like he wants to play the base. LOL! i think this song is one of my top 3 by Tom! <3

[mithrathephoenix]

my boyfriend looks like tom milsom and i didn't realize until now :)

[JamminWithJaime]

@mithrathephoenix you lucky bastard!

[annacuddles150]

@mithrathephoenix

lucky

[ZombieCupcakes1]

is that an occordian? woah, i didnt think people actually still played those.

[adamnlloyd]

@ZombieCupcakes1 Accordion. And Tom plays one in almost all of his songs.

[Slapbass13]

I make no apologies for listening to Sonic Youth. But I accept I can be a bit aloof.

[moviekingjames]

2:04 look at the size of that bloody bass!!

[superevilcharliebot]

i'm jelous of that girl for two reasons:

1. tom milsom fancies her

2. she has a panda jumper.

LOVE THIS SONG TOM <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

[RhythmSpring]

@superevilcharliebot first of all, tom dated hatti a while ago and she's a lovely girl so he didnt just "fancy" her. Second, this video was made in 2009 and he is now going out with someone called olga.

[lachatestsurlamur]

@RhythmSpring She's just talking about the video. Also, she's not being mean about Hatti, just saying she's jealous.

[zoemew]

Why is Charlie a recorder player/pervy friend??? So random! 

[MushroomRapist]

THIS IS FUCKING BRILLIANT

[gettcrunkk90]

i swear you guys change band members like no other!

[MrAlexIsWeird]

This is the greatest song ever :D Does anyone know if Tom's alright with us using his music in our videos? I know Alex Day is letting everyone

[singlaughishishstep]

@MrAlexIsWeird yeah, its on the dftba website under music video program

[aaronrushton1]

sorry tom, i found this shit...

[pbjellybeanful]

lol in the description it says:

recorder player/pervy friend: charlie

[pbjellybeanful]

oh tom and charlie they're just playing hard to get. they can't possible in a million years be serious

[rainbowmuppet]

Or you could just dye your hair blue and sit back and watch girls flock to you.

...naaah, that'd never work.

[marsandgeez]

Charrliee :P

[TheGoodGoneGirl18]

233,831 views. Hm, that's strange, why is it only showing my views?



[MrBobMoo]

0:37

Edd: PATPATPAT

Tom: Edd what the hell get off.

[TomDGW]

This guy is such a fucking tool.

[FirstHumanimalien]

@TomDGW The sound of jealousy is insults.

[TomDGW]

@FirstHumanimalien Jealous of a mono tonal voice? Sure.

[lentilofhope]

@TomDGW I don't at all agree with you about his voice, but even still, good songwriting makes up for poor vocals.

[TomDGW]

@lentilofhope This isn't good song writing. He's still a complete tool.

[pbjellybeanful]

@TomDGW in you're opinion. Other people think he's cool and this is a good song

[TomDGW]

@pbjellybeanful in their opinion. I think he's a tool and this is a shit song.

[pbjellybeanful]

@TomDGW ok then it's settled. you can just not listen to this song or watch his videos. and the people who like him will continue to.

[TomDGW]

@pbjellybeanful Ok, but he's still a complete tool... and that's all that matters :)

[AlinatheDuck]

@TomDGW Then why are you wasting your time watching something produced by someone you think is a tool. And, on that matter, I don't think he's a tool. He's a music genius.

[TomDGW]

@AlinatheDuck I didn't go out of my way to watch this video, I stumbled upon it. He is a tool, and he's far from a musical genius.

[bobtheunicorntroll]

@TomDGW i believe he is wonderful!

[uiruu]

@TomDGW How so?

[TomDGW]

@uiruu How isn't he?

[spethyisinasubmarine]

@TomDGW look we all got the message you don't like him, people have different tastes. the majority of people watching this video do like him and his music. Don't waste your time go watch music you do like/

[TomDGW]

@spethyisinasubmarine Well, as I said before, I came across this video, so I didn't go out of my way to watch it. Secondly, I'm not having a go at anyone for liking his music, so I understand people have other opinions, obviously, seeing as people are arguing. And finally, the only reason I'm still commenting, is because I get a little message from youtube saying someone has replied to me. So don't waste YOUR time even bothering to reply, and we can both be on our way.

[uiruu]

@TomDGW Yeah, that answers my question. With an answer like that, I'm guessing you are a creationist.

[DirigiblePlumCompany]

@uiruu Don't use someone else's theory as an insult, because it just makes you sound close-minded and uneducated. And yeah, I'm a creationist. I agreed with your prior comment (as I'm sure plenty of people did), so don't follow up with a cheap sarcastic remark.

[uiruu]

@DirigiblePlumCompany Yes, but see creationism is not a respectable opinion. The logic involved (such as "Where is God, then" "Where isn't he?") mirrors the "How so?" "How isn't he?".

[ImagineRevolution64]

This song was stuck in my head all day, so I'm just standing in choir and the guy I like walks by as I sing, "You tell a girl you fancy her by getting with her boyfriend." I got a weird look.

[indierock1231]

why does the bassist have an acoustic at the end?? x

[MoonMacaroon]

SHE'S DRESSED JUST LIKE A LESBIAN, I HEAR THAT'S QUITE A CRAZE.

[superevilcharliebot]

I LOVE THIS SONG.

[alexnackerud]

That bassist is the one who drives the song.

[clarepies]

2:36 is the cutest thing! :)

[Utopiansybill]

This was the song that got me on to Tom. I mean, I'm like it when he gives me eargasms. No! What I meant to say is I can't live without him. GAH!

[thatsthecrazyone]

three things about this video

one:seeing tom's natural hair makes me uncomfortable

two:tom in a dress makes me uncomfortable

three:this song take all of the un-comfort go away ;)

[fuzzheadwriter]

@TheDriftwoodPuppet81

You are the self righteous indie idiot he is talking about.

[cantfindausernamearg]

vidcon2012 video reminded me of this song :D

[SometimesImAwesome]

@cantfindausernamearg that's because Hank used this song in the VidCon 2012 video. He even put at the bottom at the beginning "Song for the Painfully Indie by Tom Milsom"

[cantfindausernamearg]

@SometimesImAwesome no i meant that it reminded me about how catchy this song is:3 i haven't heard it in a while. i know he used this in the video. why else would it remind me of it?

[SometimesImAwesome]

@cantfindausernamearg Oh. Okay then.

[deathmelon6789]

VIDCON!

[isadorkk]

Well Charlie looked sufficiently awkward....

[TheDriftwoodPuppet81]

Oh dear. Spoilt upper middle class mummys boys with Medina Lake haircuts, too many Harry Potter posters and expensive webcams attempt to spew a wry, self aware critique of hipsterdom and end up sounding like an anaemic piss weak version of They Might be Giants. It'd be funny if it weren't so tragic. Fuck me, is this what passes for 'indie culture' these days? Youth is damned indeed. Go and buy some Bikini Kill records and make yourselves useful. This shite is just Downton Abbey- the NME years

[SometimesImAwesome]

@TheDriftwoodPuppet81 If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Didn't you pay attention in pre-school?

[whizzywantstowrite]

@SometimesImAwesome, don't worry about it. @TheDriftwoodPuppet81 clearly thinks they're so clever, nothing you say to them will get through. I'm willing to bet they're a 30 year old obese, balding man who has nothing better to do with his life than criticize others for their accomplishments when he has none of his own. Before you condemn the youth, maybe you should look in a mirror and ask yourself if this is what you wanted for your life. To get owned by a 16-year-old girl from America. AKA me.

[SometimesImAwesome]

@whizzywantstowrite that comment makes me want to befriend you.

[MustLoveDisney507]

@TheDriftwoodPuppet81 dear self righteous, nose in the air moron, dont take this the wrong way.. but you seem like a horrible person :P "youth is damned indeed"???? idk how old you are but most "youth" at least know how to be polite! sincerely mother propriety

[RealBronzeClaws]

@TheDriftwoodPuppet81 Uh, don't you know Tom wrote this as a joke? Guy plays 30 instruments and is somewhat famous and you can't even do your homework to come up with a better insult.

God. Trolls aren't what they used to be.

[contempgirl]

@TheDriftwoodPuppet81 Why yes indie music has change, music and culture does that. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it bad. Tom Milson is musically gifted and personally I am looking forward to reading what he does next because it is always new, and different and interesting.

[TheProjectWeird]

HEY! Charlie's in this!

[foarks]

Oh wow. I remember when Edd used to dress like that :D

[thestickmann1]

I love the bit where Charlie has a recorder and the girl he's with has an epic looking bass!

[superevilcharliebot]

i'm SO jelous of that girl.

mostly because tom fancies her!!!!!! <3<3

but also because she has a panda jumper...

[SarahCozz]

0:35 the mirror is confused....

[MrAlexIsWeird]

Chords?!!?!

[sydneywithpigtails]

@MrAlexIsWeird Google "Song for the painfully indie chords"...not hard. :/

[MrAlexIsWeird]

@sydneywithpigtails Haha yeah i couldn't find them but I did after a while :3

[TheSumms]

charlie is warning us about the oncoming bear attack. that's my future husband for you <3

[thatguy12390]

this is shit

[SillySillyBellBell]

@thatguy12390 You're shit

[makaylamoo2222]

@SillySillyBellBell You're right

[Runawayboy47]

@SillySillyBellBell set himself up for that one, good work (y)

[hollipop2011]

@naaamebutterbum i think its a harsicord or something

[esmereldaweatherwax5]

And how, pray, does a lesbian dress???

[itssansann]

0:30

My heart stopped he is SO HOT! <3

[naaamebutterbum]

somebody tell me quickly what that instrument is that tom plays last!! i need to know its name to prove to my friend that tom plays more instruments than he even thinks exists.!!

[LooMarley]

@naaamebutterbum a Zither i think

[thisboxcontainsacid]

correction:

CHARLIE ;D

@2:00

AND

@2:35

[thisboxcontainsacid]

CHARLIE ;D

@2:00

[letusbelennon]

I woke up this morning and the first thing I thought to myself was "She's dressed just like a lesbian".

[eretrece]

This reminds me of the song in Faulty Towers ;)

[hollipop2011]

please organise a UK version of vidcon. we englanders cant afford to pay to fly to america!

[itssavvyandstuff]

@hollipop2011 Summer in the City is held in London every year, and it's a big YouTube gathering that's a bit like VidCon. It's not near as big, but it's really neat ^_^

[deepluminator]

@hollipop2011 What about us AUSTRALIANS? ):

[BenGriffithsReviews]

@deepluminator AMEN TO THAT!!!

[hollipop2011]

@deepluminator maybe they should just do a world tour... that'd be fun for everyone

@itssavvyandstuff thanks i'll look at that

[hollipop2011]

@deepluminator maybe they should just do a world tour... that'd be fun for everyone

[lolllipopzebra]

Love this! And Charlie! <3

[themuggleprophet]

why would anyone turn you and charlie down that is ABSURD

[xHannahxLoux09]

aaawwwwwww :') Tom looks so cute ^^ <33

[antdude]

Was it me or or was the music (not singing) distorted?

[OvercoatCaneTopHats]

Dear bunnies2000 r u saying this video is good or bad because ur super vague

This song is so quirky and awesome

[ImogensImagination18]

@Elemental6 you're very bad at describing the talent you just saw in this video. I think the words you are looking for are;

Amazing, Brilliant and Genius. You may want to try a bit harder when it comes to choosing adjectives :)

[ImogensImagination18]

CHARLIE! :D Tom, I love this song!

[judexcellentbookworm]

This opened up with a Geico commercial. Uhm, Tom is more awesome than that Geico guy.

[Elemental6]

ARE U FUCKING MAD? THIS SHIT SUCKS

[deepluminator]

@Elemental6 I really hope you're joking. If not, please take into consideration Tom Milsom has managed to put so many different instruments into one song and made it sound awesome. Also the lyrics are the best :D

[bunnies2000]

@Elemental6 uh... do you have any taste whatsoever?

[louisfoulkes]

@Elemental6 Obviously someone would rather read the indie handbook...So go do that.

[MrBobMoo]

drummer / awesome jumper wearer XD

[GONEmypurpleflapjack]

@thehawksandi Yes, it says says she's the bassist in the dooblydoo.

[Qwaszxa3]

Where can i buy the Indie handbook volume 3 it looks like a good book xD
