Lightspeed Champion - 'Galaxy Of The Lost' (2007)

[larendor10]

ahaha yess, he looks like a chimp

[KerryW79]

love it! :o)

[vinunleaded]

Didn't like the second album in all honesty but Falling Off The Lavender Bridge is right up with the greatest debut albums I've ever heard.

[shoegazingagain]

Reminds me of The Dears.

[JaimeEskobar]

people tell me i look like him.

[reetenbow]

man the music video just makes no sense for the song, both are highly entertaining

[princesshooper]

Whoa that is such a scary thumbnail. Good song though!

[MelonGalaxy]

so underated

[JuniornMiasma]

Cool! hails from Perú

[Kippercakeyay]

kitten.

[TheHoodville]

I'm telling you! This guy looks exactly like Jay Chandrasekhar ! From Beer Fest or known as barry

[CupcakeIsNiceAlways]

Like the video :)

[Cathayano]

This song is nice, I thought it couldn´t be better (I listened the version from Florence + TM) but this original version is powerful :)

[chazman26]

@Cathayano its shit

[Cathayano]

@chazman26 hhahha why you put your comment on mine... lol

[lunoboy]

i dont think he'll ever better this album

[Kento617]

This is some Yo Gabba Gabba stuff right here! He kinda looks like the lead singer of Bloc Party, and sounds like him too! I like his fashion

[diekontrolleure]

why does this nigger look even more disgusting that all the other porch monkeys?

[Nicknamevanniks]

@diekontrolleure Because Chuck Norris and your mum had a baby together and this is the result.

[diekontrolleure]

@Nicknamevann why do you insult my mom?

[Nicknamevanniks]

@diekontrolleure Why are you a xenophobic piece of shit?

[Xaymot]

holding cats! FUCK YEAH!

[connorbrowne]

emmy the great backing vocals too o; falling of lavender bridge is so brilliant

[GermanOpsGD]

The Original is the best i cant stand the florence the machine version why u say? bcuz she doesn't have hes hair and beautiful voice.

[GDhaenens]

I once went to a gig of him with a girl I liked.

After the gig everybody was gathering around the stage to say hello. His acoustic guitar was still on stage and I grab it and start playing. When he knew this he almost started crying like a little child. Something like that this guitar was like his girlfriend and that I never would be the same

I'm sorry, but that's really gay

[Nicknamevanniks]

@GDhaenens He's absolutely right. Just keep your paws off someone else's material.

[07razi]

i really really like this song today - no reason why. he's just so cool.

[superlarr]

I liked the first 30 seconds the most. everything else was just kinda...ok.

[superlarr]

@superlarr Also this guy kinda reminds me of Keenan from Keenan and kel

[DementedDexter94]

Dev is literally the coolest guy on the planet.

[EmptyWordsOfSolitude]

What a rubbish 'Song'.

[looderso]

haha xD he was a hipster before they got popular... no but seriously i don't care if somebody is a hipster or not. great music :)

cheers.

[meotoko77]

Hipster or not, this is good music.

[MicEmasaur]

You know, I just want to know why he's holding a kitten.

[imchepasable]

@MicEmasaur I...he...I think he just likes kittens. Maybe to add more irony to the children's show theme contrasting with the lyrics about making out with someone while vomiting and licking sores and stuff?

[MummyHelloThere]

His hair is awesome.

[JazSmithPresentation]

This is pretty much how my week has been so far....

[wcibbt]

Sounds like badly drawn boy to me.

[MoAnnx]

Met Dev yesterday :D Epic moment!

[lilshitstv1]

That kitteh in the beginning is so adorable! >.<

[Dispotdnb]

i've never seen a black guy with such a long hair who is not jamaican or homeless

[snakesareSCARY]

I'm absolutely in love with him. I think I like him so much that I would never even dare to say a word to him.

[Markthompson123]

so good

[damnyerhellaugly]

hella hipster

[Bryson12121]

from cod 4 to this

[kryonso]

he looks like a homeless paedophile...is that the look hipsters are going for nowadays?

[Rav3nous08]

@kryonso What's a hipster?

[kryonso]

@Rav3nous08 Look here for details: go to latfh.com

[jackotheripper]

@kryonso lol, this song is four years old, how is that 'nowadays'?

[kryonso]

@jackotheripper I guess that makes this guy Hipster Jesus then??!

[jackotheripper]

@kryonso Probably, yes, he definitely emanates hipsterness, albeit 2007 hipsterness, though hipsters wouldn't like him as this is old news now. Only the hipsters themselves know what sort of music they listen too right at this moment, I think that's the point.

[kryonso]

@jackotheripper touche 

[interpolluter29]

@kryonso Keeping tabs on hipster fashion, are you?

[kryonso]

@interpolluter29 hehe, unfortunately I live in an area that is populated with them like plague rats. I try to hole up inside to stay away from them...dirty hipsters!

[interpolluter29]

@kryonso It's hard to wear anything casual without it having some sort of connection to anything hipster these days. Wear a plaid button-up and you may be folk hipster, wear an assymetrical haircut, you must love to dance or you're a neo-goth. I may as well write my favorite band or do some type of decoration on my chest or on a thong and walk around the city like that. Problem solved for them. That's as "anti-fashion" and anti-trend as anyone can really get.

[kryonso]

@interpolluter29 i know what you mean...its like a global conspiracy to make us all look the same but fool us into thinking we look different...who would have known this chat would have got philosophical on Youtube hehe..

[interpolluter29]

@kryonso I get that sometimes. I'm one of the quintessential, kinda mental, sorta gentle, anti-trolls on YouTube. Rather than completely diss somebody on their perspective so quickly, without really thinking about it anyway, I occasionally turn it into a cake and tea conversation. Haha!

[allhailguineapigs]

has anyone seen florence + the machines version of this, it's awesome :)

[chazman26]

@allhailguineapigs na shit

[allhailguineapigs]

@chazman26 Ok, just saying :)

[maccnliverpool]

Fss i am sick of people being ignorant to judge a person and there music on their race, i do not see how it matters what so ever , he is a great musician in my opinion but if he isnt in yours then make sure it isnt for stupid ignorant reasons like race!!

[Stalwartlover]

love this song , just as much as when it came out

[Aimzinian]

he scares me. but good song

[TriiangleJellyfiish]

he looks dirty but have to respect his music

[shatchett0]

I loved him first for his hair. Now I love him for who he is.

[earlybecomings]

@shatchett0 straight from my heart onto the page.

[Hero00]

does anyone know how he straightens his hair that way?

[DeeJKz]

@Hero00 does anybody know why you care so much? nope.

[Hero00]

@DeeJKz

how do u know much I care? u be creepin lol. were you expecting some likes or something? Oh you were... how sad

[DeeJKz]

@Hero00 k

[bahxitcha]

I really, really like this song, but this video, it's just like, I can't even explain, you must be too high to understand, but anyways, lovely song, well not lovely, but great song.

[Jakobsdillusion]

Whats up with hipsters and cats?

[polarbear83act]

@Jakobsdillusion Everybody loves hipsters and cats...

[18rus]

@kamisarl Darn.. you've got me there.

[ToniTheTurtle]

This is great. I just wonder if his hair smells..

[18rus]

He's ugly as fuck and his voice is crap.

Fuck this creepy shit.

[Jorgenfn]

@18rus What is wrong with you?

[18rus]

@Jorgenfn What's your beef?

[18rus]

@kamisarl Bieber sucks, yes, but just because your a 30 year old virgin who's parents are siblings, it doesn't give you the right to be a sexist tit.

P.s. Nice name gay lord.

[jgmurua]

esta canción me eriza la piel cada vez que la escucho!!

[pantsuck10]

cool melloe black guy= hipster kryptonite

[roverent]

He's amazing.

[beccaboomhouer]

@kamisarl well as long as you know :)

[beccaboomhouer]

@kamisarl LOL you're a dick.

[xmodmodifier]

i expected rap music :P

[sk8tergirlygirl56435]

I like the way he sings to that cat (;

[WTFGiordan]

....thats alot of hair lol its awsome

[xfmkid]

@TheMrHuzzah

I kno a guitar like that. Gibson ES335....i think.

[karlijean93]

Although I prefer Florence's cover I still like this one :)

[justin7031]

thats not his actual hair.... is it?

[Every1luvzME]

lol at 0:13 that kitten looks like "Serious? Put me down bitch."

[Every1luvzME]

Jazz, Blues, RnB, Hip Hop & Rock where all created by black people. If u don't think so write a letter to Paul McCartney, Steven Tyler, Mick Jagger asking who influence their bands music. You'll be surprised at their answers.

[Timmitous]

I want 4 minutes of my life back

[Gymnophoria1]

POOOOOWERBALLAD 

[DoubleYellowLinesUzu]

Omg why is there so much hating on this video! All of you are just rascist and stereotypists! I'm black and I love Indie Music and Rock. R'n'B isn't my thing! I like Rap and Pop but not shit american R'n'B, sorry! And this song is awesome!!

[Hitamaru]

... Lightspeed champion looks like what if a monkey got a perm. :I

[XsteeleXx]

@Hitamaru whoa uncalled for

[Hitamaru]

@XsteeleXx ... I'm black, i think it's called for, y'know. Monkeys shouldn't get perms. Thank god, he chopped that ish

[XsteeleXx]

@Hitamaru im black toi thought that comment was funny and i thought the hair gave him the styke but he cut iy oh well

[ShaneOso]

Amazing musician all around Dev is a genius PERIOD race or style has nothing to do with that fact in any way. 

[cavanaw]

UNIQUE!the guy,the song and the way he expresses..

[fredcalha]

dont give a fuck i wish i had his hair seriously

[JacobH420]

how gay

[sk8acdc]

Difficult to believe this guy used to jam with Sam Mehran and Rory Atwell.

[shavoisgod]

g'wannn lightspeed champion ;D

[JustinMills24GC]

just shut the fuck up with all the damn negativity and stereotypes and listen to the song geez. I don't give a fuck if he's white, black, yellow, purple, red, or blue, he's a great musician and thats all that should matter.

[theNeonWallFlower]

i like the lyrics

[lucadepu]

fuck is this song shitty

[VagabondKitten]

Despite the fact that Florence is probably my favorite musician of the moment, I actually still like this version better. Great song! And video as well!

[pantsuck10]

Who cares what his race is?!! honestly stereotypes are so dumb

white people cant rap, Wrong=enimen

black people cant rock,Wrong= Jimmy Hendrix

asians cant make hip hop, Wrong= East side Movement women can't play guitar, Wrong= Orianthi

[jerkbabe]

i really llike this song (:

[bolinha198]

florence and the machine has a bether version

but the music is amasing

[JustinMills24GC]

This guy is awesome. One question though, is that his real hair or a wig? Either way this is a bad ass song, GO LIGHTSPEED CHAMPION!!

[mszumixer]

How could anyone gives this a thumbs down!? Even if you hate the song, the video is sooo good!

[patwow]

Wow, this chacha fella is an ignorant asswiping douchenozzle. Somebody staple his mouth shut, I can't hear Dev's beautiful music.

[nanabanana3893]

wtf chacha5678 u commented way to fuckin much

someone has way too much time on youtube

great song:)

[Chacha5678]

@nanabanana3893 yes i did have a lot of free time haha

[nanabanana3893]

@Chacha5678 haha it happens

[Chacha5678]

@jadekillcity why is hiphop and r&b so obvious? because there more blacks making that type of music? i listen to music if its good, i dont see how race plays a part in it. like my parents are african and like african music but my dad also likes 70s rock like The Eagles and Smokie, and my mom loves Celine Dion and italian opera type stuff. i used to listen to mainstream music til i found out about more underground stuff in 8th grade and ever since music has been amazing for me

[DoubleTastyMcBacon]

@Chacha5678 put it this way chacha. i will set an example from your own words. black people listen to black music but they also tend to listen to some other stuff like pop rock country or whatever they like. this is partly true. the bigger truth is that hiphop and RnB is generally an american way of music. the stereotypes though convince us its the coloured people ( black is classed as racism as from last year ). same stereotypes that say all muslims are terrorists.

[Chacha5678]

@DoubleTastyMcBacon why do people feel like they should only listen to music made by people of the same race? thats pretty racist if you ask me. i mainly listen to indie sort of rock, and other genres are the minority. hiphop and r&b are just as american as rock, pop, etc. thats why people shouldnt take stereotypes too seriously, its just pure ignorance

[HJManson]

@Chacha5678 who are your favourite bands?

[Every1luvzME]

@HJManson My favorite band is Coldplay and The Killers and I'm of african descent! :^) Also of native and european descent but screw them... lol jk

[trollolol101]

@Chacha5678 motherfuckin word

[patwow]

What a hellova musician.

[omgdontliekkillme]

This is what happens when you go too far into youtube O_O

[deanob1192]

@omgdontliekkillme aren't you glad you did??

[DoraSilveira]

ITS FANTASTIC!

[seanecavanaugh]

dude i thought he was going to snap that kittens neck, is it messed up that i was int he edge of my chair

[SophiexIsxHott]

As much as I like this song, I like Florence + The Machine's version better...

[imjohnandyouare]

Holy shit theres like 4 pages of straight ignorant nonsense on this video and none of it has anything to do with the video. But then again I am on Youtube where most ignorant people tend to hang out.

[imjohnandyouare]

Kittah!!!!!!!!

[Funkystuff92]

haha this is certainly not the dude from Yo Gabba Gabba

that's "DJ Lance Rock" Who's old enough to be Dev's (Lightspeed Champion = Dev Hynes) father

[INHALE2thaCHIEF]

yo gabba gabba scares the piss out of me. it's like taking some bad acid and being stuck in hell.

[Every1luvzME]

@INHALE2thaCHIEF ahahahahahaha

[JTwitchyLe]

whoa they way his tiny little spaghetti fingers move while playing the little riffs is masterful MASTERFUL

[partyanimalsbkk]

honestly, black people just can't have straight hair :( .....but this song is just seriously too awesome

[Chacha5678]

@partyanimalsbkk they can when they straighten it. just like white people who straighten their hair

[JonnyRocketfingers7]

@partyanimalsbkk I'm Black I agree. We should really stick with are natural hair. I would hav 10x more respect for the guy if he was going indie with a fro.

[Relaxing39s]

@JonnyRocketfingers7 So what about being who you want to be and respect? If he wanna have his hair like that I don't know why you should respect him less than if he had a fro, also for the fact he just cut them out (or maybe lose the wig i dunno) and he always wears a NY cap now :) too bad it doesn't really work out since his last album didn't have as much success as his first one!

[theodorepound]

@JonnyRocketfingers7

why?

How does it make you any different? Its just a hairstyle?

[Every1luvzME]

@partyanimalsbkk & y can't we have straight hair sir???? Honestly white girls should stop getting breast implants with flat asses its just so dayum uneven. ':^/

[pkmelody3]

black people invented rock music !!!!! so this shouldn't be a surprise

[JonnyRocketfingers7]

@pkmelody3 Did they really!?

[Every1luvzME]

@JonnyRocketfingers7 Yup his name is Chuck Berry. At the time his style of music wasn't really pop, RnB, Blues etc so 1 day a DJ called it Rock n Roll. He's still alive too.

[JonnyRocketfingers7]

@Every1luvzME HOLY SHIT!! O_O Hez ...Ammaaazin! How come "my own people" are hating on me for listening to rock. DAM, They dont even know.

[Every1luvzME]

@JonnyRocketfingers7 Hey I'm black and I listen to Coldplay & The Killers. My favorite bands. I force my boyfriend to listen to their music too. lol. But idk the white kids took to rock more then black kids. Good thing for Chuck Berry tho.

Bsides u'r an oreo if u'r black & like rock music... Thats y they hateing on u JonnyRocketFinger Duh. lol

[razrv3lc]

I like florence and the machine's version of this better. but this one is still ok.

[gordonw01]

Shit video...good song...great hair !

[YourMotherOnPot]

i love how the cat is kinda like lolwut

[sweetdwhite]

this is a good song but what the fuck is on going on in this video

[SuperUkuleleGirl]

okay i have multiple replys to comments i cba to post separately so here goes :

@guitbox9 no it's real :)

@icoreydavis actually it's the guy from lightspeed champion hence name of the band at the top right by where the song title is

@BikiniBottomHero FAIL! arn't i such a product of the mindless generation. youf of tooday and there grammatical errors (spot the mistakes or 'fails')*sigh* .btw did you know your names from spongebob?

@pncoryat Yo Gabba Gabba is actually a recent phenomina

[rasburrypie]

this song is beautiful <3

[jreece7]

I dont understand why people are arguing about racial issues when alot of dev's songs say how he hates being categorized into one group and how just because hes not into the same music as most blacks, hes treated differently..

[fastfuse1000]

r u lot insane dev rocks,have a listen to the words.

[boatofcoins]

he looks like a black caveman hipster. not a fan of the music, but i am a fan of it being out there. just remember that everytime you judge an artist by what they look like, you miss everything. its the same for all the mainstream crap out there. girls only like Justin Bieber because his image is marketed so damn well. sure his music is catchy but if all his fans didn't like him because he's cute they would actually hear the music and understand that it's very empty music



[lacerveza1977]

@boatofcoins justin bieber is a faphead, and i agree with your point

[mercilesstengo52]

It's not actually the dude from Yo Gabba Gabba....

[BikiniBottomHero]

Ugh i hate when people say fail.. its as annoying as it is grammatically incorrect. I guess it just mirrors the new generation.

[icoreydavis]

this isn't the guy from yo gabba gabba......

[pncoryat]

@icoreydavis What is yo gabba gabba? Sorry I wasn't born in the 90's!

[icoreydavis]

@pncoryat its a show for little kids that comes on nick jr that has good bands on it sometimes

[guitbox9]

is that a wig or what?

[MaKentosh93]

Okay, it's a brilliant song, why do we need to read into the racial backgrounds and social demographics? It's a sweet ass song,that's enough, just listen to it and stop pointless hating

[stateq2]

This song is so epic...one of the greatest ever!

[tokishreds]

man, this nigga hair look nasssty
