The Bedroom Philosopher Songs From The 86 Tram Album

6.Northcote (So Hungover)

Hello. Oh hey Joel how you going? Ya. I'm just on a, uh, tram,
just really hungover. Hey, you know that um, band competition we
went in, So You Think You Can Copy? Yeah, we won man! Yeah we
got a record contract out of it. We're with like Independent
Records, they're like an off-shoot of Sony. Ya we have to make
like one over-hyped album, we get uh, Molly Meldrum kudos, Rage
guest programming rights, a memory stick full of Myspace friends
and we can write the soundtrack to 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. Demestos
mainly, he was in pretty bad shape.

RIDING AROUND ON THE 86, SO HUNGOVER.
GONNA GO DOWN TO JB HIFI, 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.
