haha, i suppose you never know who'll get one
Oh wow! Here we go again haters!
absolutely loving the M+N cameo!
Hey! I thought I was the only one who'd noticed! A pile of Mess and Noise magazines at 2:17 I think.
nice work BP!
Actually 2:11.
irony.
now the lowest form of humour.
coolsie chats.
now the easiest form of target
god, i'm obsessed with this song. what is wrong with me?
either you a) like laughing at coolsie chats, or b) you are a coolsie chat and like looking yourself
i'm so busted!
I SAY ''NO'' TO THIS
He really has nailed the haircut.
I actually like this one, perhaps the Connex thing was not the best introduction.
Lulz at Tim and Kram in the hospital scene...
Part of me is glad that Bedroom Philosopher is taking coolsies to the mainstream.
I hope America takes notice.
Maybe if an American comes to Australia and sees this guy parodying hipsters in commercial breaks, we can trick them into thinking Australia isn't so much of a cultural backwater.
Interesting proposition PR. I hope it comes to pass. I wonder why this hasn't happened in the US yet. Or has it and we haven't seen/heard it?
IDGE!!
This is so brilliant. This character has to have a spin-off...
the part that likes paying for bills and buying cool shit

This is kind of funny but is just another version of the Dandy's ''Bohemian''
I love how you refer to the Dandy Warhols as ''Dandy'', as if they're some sort of legendary rock group that every M+N user is familiar with.
(They suck balls).
Actually the video and the song are pretty funny.
I like the fixie at the end.
I passed the bedroom philosopher near UTS on Saturday... he was looking pretty coolsie
I thought he lived in Melbourne town?
there's a difference between making a list and comedy.
no you didn't. BP was recovering from his birthday party. His portrayl of a coolsie is clearly very convincing.
that was Frankie Teardrop MATT.
I saw the Bedroom Philosopher walking through Melbourne CBD the other day, laughing at his Iphone.
Couldn't help but wonder if he was keeping minute-by-minute updates on this thread.
That was me, Scarlett. I'm often mistaken for the Bedroom Philosopher. I was laughing at a funny Pedo Bear gif.
Behind the scenes photography for the clip are here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmJbmP0aus0
The shots are set to a song that the Bedroom Philosopher wrote in dedication to all of the extras who worked on the shoot. The song is called 'Requiem for an Edit'.
i love this! came specifically to see what M+N thought. standard.
The scene where he's entering the house party and fighting his way through the pile of fixies by the door certainly raised a smile.
none of those bikes are fixies
Well then this video has lost all credibility in my eyes.
Some much needed indie cred and controversy for Justin...

Yes, that is in an actual church.
HEY MESS+NOISE HIPSTERS!!!
It's The Bedroom Philosopher with super ultra mega turbo special guest Amanda Palmer of The Dresden Dolls fame playing his MASSIVE hit ''Northcote, So Hungover'' last night at Forum Melbourne. Ohhh the irony! ㋡
http://vimeo.com/carbiewarbie/bedroomphilosopherwithamandapalmer
A new version of Northcote (So Hungover) made up entirely of Youtube comments on the original Northcote clip.
(that's the same clip as Carbie posted, but the bedroom/studio version)
Yeah but there is no Amanda Palmer pretending to be a hipster in that bedroom version! ㋡
Also got a video ''Tram Inspector'' from last night:

As well as the stage invasion of everyone doing The Beastie Boys cover of (You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party!).
