The Bedroom Philosopher - Northcote (So Hungover)

Hello. Oh hey, Joel, how you going?

Yeah, I'm just on a tram. I'm really hungover.

Hey you know that, um, band competition we went in - So You Think You Can Copy.

Yeah, we won man. We got a record contract out of it.

We're with, like, Independent Records. They're like an offshoot of Sony.

Ya. We have to make like one overhyped album.

We get Molly Meldrum kudos, Rage guest programming rights, a memory stick of Myspace Friends

and we can write the soundtrack of an ad of our choice.

Na man we haven't sold out, we've still got creative control.

Oh, our t-shirts, yeah extra smalls have gone.

We like changed our name too, we're like Rage Against The Sewing Machine,

we're all about anger and fashion.

How is your album going?

Yeah you laid down some tracks?

Oh, actual tracks, for Connex? Yeah right.

I guess you've got to pay for the studio hire huh?

What's it called again? 'Z-sides and Demos.'

What's a greatest hits concept EP?

Nothing but secret tracks. Yeah right.

Are you worried about people burning it?

I meant in a fire.

Hey, did I mention we picked up a grant?

Yeah, Grant Taylor, our bass player.

We picked him up from the side of the road,

He was like passed out.

Ya, we had to deal with an agent and everything.

Domestos mainly, he was in pretty bad shape.

Riding around on the 86, So Hungover.

Gonna go down to JB Hi-Fi, Flick through Indie.

Ya so um, last night we supported uh, Pose Tattoo,

like they're fronted by Sad Sanderson down at the Fitzroy anti-social club. Ya.

It was alright man but you know the mixing was really bad.

Like, my G & T didn't even have lemon in it.

You know like the band's really gelling, like our hair,

it's just like we're going through an 80's thing at the moment.

anyway man sorry I couldn't come to your gig the other night,

I just didn't really want to go.

How was it?

Ya, you smashed up your gear afterwards, that's pretty rock.

Oh, in a car accident, yeah right, that's not so good man.

Hey I had to go to hospital the other day too.

It's these new jeans man. I just couldn't get my wallet out. Yeah.

They had to cut me out. A local anesthetic.

Riding around on the 86, So Hungover.

Gonna go down to Pony, Pretend I'm in Kings of Leon.

Ya, I just, I'm really busy you know,

I've just got so much on my plate.

I got this uh, tofu salad and it's just going everywhere man.

You know this whole like record contract and stuff I just,

I don't want it to go to my head you know

the last thing I wanna do is become like a cliched character.

Anyway man I better go I'm like running out of street credit but um,

ya, it's a shame you can't come to my party.

I know, I just didn't invite you though. Laterz.
