Top 10 Hipster Anthem (in random order)*

* It means that the rank here is not directly rank from the best to good ones. Enjoy :)


1. Mission of Burma - Trem Two

This song has unique and simple tunes. You, actually, could replicate and follow the intro (and entire melody) by (Hint) high E string stays open. Start by playing a matching E on the B string and work your way down... (According to a Youtube Comment)

And oh, from another comment that still in the same video :

"Spellbinding. Far ahead of their time."

FAR AHEAD of THEIR TIME What could another word that possible to replace that one? HIPSTERS !



2. XTC - Senses Working Overtime

XTC yang ini  ya 

Bukan yang ini

Remember Gotye feat Kimbra-Somebody I Used to Know ? This song has same tunes and intro that remind us the famous one hit wonder from that Belgium-Australia Dude (which, also has the same catchy spoof)

and

3. Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #2 (Laika)

Actually, Arcade Fire is better with Sarah Neufeld (left corner, woman)

This song is about a dog named Laika that remembered for the first dog who travel to the moon. Named Laika.

4. Talking Heads - The Book I Read

Song about Books ! Or is it ?

5. Sonic Youth - Schizophrenia

This is Sonic Youth 

This is Not 

Song about disease ! Jesus has a twin, who really know nothing about a sin.

6. Death Cab for Cutie - You're a Tourist

Song about Tourist Well, not that one. FYI, one of the lyrics has similarity with one of Widji Thukul poems.

7. The Velvet Revolver and Nico - Heroin

Song about Heroin

8. Modest Mouse - Ocean Breathe Salty

Song about Life ! Because, Life.

9. Neutral Milk Hotel - King of Carrot Flowers

Try to listen this song on Youtube without your aux audio such as headphones :)

10. Pixies - Monkey Gone to Heaven

Song about Environment (This song contain lyrics about environmentalism). And, If Man is 5 (five fingers in your palm hand), then the devil is 6 (666), and God is Seven (7th Day)
