Local Joke By Neon Indian 

Those kinds of things never bother me cause I'm the local joke Her sun-burnt eyes roll She calls me "the broken spoke" Never been late to fuck with fate and see her phrases choke but part of me wants to watch and laugh as they go up in smoke. Constantly crossing paths with all the empty traits You'd better leave things just unsaid then left to contemplate. All my words trip as they leave my lips I've come to set things straight She needs an excuse to end things and become the things you hate

she needs an excuse to end things and become the things you hate

You don't have to be stoned to like this music. I happen to think it sounds delightful without being baked

damn....this song brings back memories...............

My top 3 Neon Indian tracks are Local Joke, 6669, and Deadbeat Summer. Hby?

if youre not listening to this through headphones youre not listening to it at all

I like to listen to this, when im walking about, its like im going somwhere..not to my actual destination but, to some magic land? Idk..

Lawd help me this takes me places.

ahhhh art school...miss the days

band actually, Alan Palomo (also known as vega), Ronald Gierhart (guitar, vocals), Jason Faries (drums), and Leanne Macomber (keyboard).

Am I the only one not high right now? I am listening to this and still tripping.

ponies, rain, and love. mix it all up with sleep deprevation and this and what do you get? bliss.

i hear this song all the time in sassilization jukebox when the dj gets turned on and i like this song

this song reminds me of endless happiness and calm forever and ever. god bless neon indian

two songs on one album sampling Todd Rundgren? I like these guys...

I love Cloud Nothings' cover of this - totally different song but equally as good.

I can't stop dancing lol. God, how did I just discover these guys today...where have I been?

acid hits

Brings me back to good but weird times as a teen.... I will keep at that...

I'm having intense visions of Intense Charlie Sheen!!!!!!!!!!!!!

accidentally had 1.25 speed on. no regrets!!

I definitely saw a band on stage ... drummer, bassist and vocalist/keyboardist ... that makes three :-)

I like this.

The first 30 seconds is a direct sample from the song "I Think You Know" from Todd Rundgren's 1974 album "Todd."

I'm a local joke

I feel like I have to take a line to this song...time to rock n roll

If you’re here you passed the vibe check*•.•:~

if i lost it on my drum machine and bop it whilst enjoying helium alone it sounds like this. i'm for it

this song is fucking awesome. this vid needs more views

"Kind of things never bothered me, cos I'm the local joke. Some will bet 'high aswell' they call me the broken spoke".

Oh, god, I love this song.

Im listening waiting at the bus stop by a dennyz with wifi waiting for my way home from my sisters apartment its going perfect because the sun is setting and once its dark im put on phychic chasm :D

@DJbrownmagic Indie is a genre, just a very broad one. Any artist not associated with a major label is technically indie, but that doesn't mean they all sound the same. Different sub-genres and all.

This was posted on my 28th birthday, neat 🙂

common things never bother me cause i'm a local joke. brilliant.

I love this song.....

@rosebench1 Much better to see them live than listen to the actual recordings. Its difficult to listen to the album now after the great experience I had in concert. Its not the same.

love this track

Sounds sort of Animal-Collective-esque in terms of psychedelia and nostalgia.

Am I supposed to be high while listening to this? cuz everyone in the comments seem to suggest this

Cool song, but they def play it better live. I saw them on the weekend, and this grooved a lot more with the live guitar and drums.

@afro176 yeah but i mean if you're listening to this kind of music then and exploring it, indie would be to broad to get any meaningful results... the ones i mentioned would get you on the right track to find similar artists because of similar sub-genre.

Ah- "chillwave" it's called.Like it!

@frogboy8 you should also watch the "Sledgehammer" music video by Peter Gabriel while you're high if you're interested in that sort of thing lol

8 people are such local jokes....

thats youtube for ya!

they're so good live

@xraydelta1 this song doesnt put me to sleep it makes me feel good whats wrong with that.

2:14 onward is bliss

I'm not sure what to call this... "tripwave"? This is really something- hearing this for the first time while baked- it's great normal, too.

Million Young hace un buenisimo cover de esta canción, aún no sé cual es mejor

Who remembers neon oreo cookies

if you want great psych when you are stone: expanding anyway by morning teleportation or sleep by godspeed you black emperor

He's got a pretty sexy voice.. :D

@funkypistol you're telling me ugh, last night, bad night

aguanteee neon indiannn :D

im a fan for life

so well balanced neo italo disco ?

Oh.

well said.

sooooo great when high

@LennonCobain456 ?? Not a patch on MF Doom, Quasimoto et al. from the Stones Throw label.

WHAT???? 73,164 other people know this band?? *throws vinyl out of the window*

nice =)

@frogboy8 Jesus Christ, literally can't go to a youtube video of a song I like without seeing at least one comment about listening to it while high.

@xraydelta1 I know. I just read it so harshly, since it was in all caps and sounded so mean. I didn't cry that much.

i hate to say this but acid inspires the best music

Aaaaaaah yes.

not to sound stupid but wat kind of music is this like wat genre? not to sound mean becuz i like it

Well done, Bjork would be proud. :)

@BijanRamezani i dont see why he would have had to stop after the song was over

Im even universal joke

Oh! So is love making music!

@frogboy8: Try it trippin'. Unbelievable.

Legit

''Common things never bother me cause I'm the local joke'' BEST OPENING LINE OF A SONG. so bad ronnie left. whos gonna lay down those sweet shecter leads
