Originally from Melbourne, Austrialia, actor, musician, and comedian Justin Heazlewood started The Bedroom Philosopher in 2002 as performance persona for his comic/musical talents. The music is ironic-post-modern-rock-punk and is as self-aware as it seems. The latest album Songs from the 86 Tram includes songs about Australian self-loathing hipster culture, which mirrors American hipster culture in almost every sense, but hightened and a bit more pathetic (let's just be honest).
Have a laugh and take a look. If only I were Australian and were able to appreciate all the very obvious socio-cultural references being made in the song. Regardless, it's goddamn hilarious. Especially when he attempts to pedal away on the bike at the very end.
