Andrew W.K.

I may be wrong but that kind of shit doesn't really turn folks on unless it's Glenn Gould playing Bach. I love AWK but he's not good enough (nor is the album well enough recorded) to carry that over a whole album.

OK I'm listening to it now, and am not really digging it, but it's not so abrasive that I'd warn off casual fans from it. I liked the crickets at the beginning. Perfectly acceptable typing music.

AWK's 2009-2010 NYE mixtape:

SONG
1 It's Time to Party by Andrew WK
2 Tom Tit by Aleister X
3 Stuntin' Like My Daddy by Birdman
4 Quack Head by Bad Brilliance
5 Bloodstone (Live) by Judas Priest
6 Devil's Child by Judas Priest
7 Party Hard by Andrew WK
8 Lemonade by Gucci Mane
9 Electric Feel (Justice Remix) by MGMT
10 My Feet Keep Dancing by Chic
11 One More Time by Daft Punk

Xpost. Maybe my comparison with Metal Machine Music gave the impression that it was abrasive. It isn't - just poorly recorded. Which is why I changed my comparison to Skellington. The comparison was only because it's the product of an artist proving he can do whatever the hell he wants, with disregard for both the music industry and (most) fans expectations.

everything are you saying ppl don't like solo instrumental piano music? agreed on the recording quality not being that great but the rest of yr statements are madness.

Glenn Gould playing Bach, people like. Andrew WK making shit up as he goes along may be a bit of a harder sell. Is that really so challenging an opinion?

I got it, and I'm not really a fan, I don't have any other Andrew WK stuff, I just thought it looked awesome. Keith Jarrett has had a pretty good career, I'm not feeling you on the unpalatable nature of improv piano.

He doesn't have to sell it; it's there for free! I'm not sure if the paradigm of self-indulgent artistic statement applies to someone who says "yes" to just about everything.

"Artistic statement" - yes. Never said it was self-indulgent.

Keith Jarrett? I'm still waiting for him to make a folk album on acoustic guitar, written and recorded in two days. That'll be KILLER.

Awesome it's the 1st Andrew WK from pre-2005.

for a man who writes so many songs about partying and dancing he sure can't dance his way out of a paper bag

classic

You have to admire his continuing dedication to Partying Hard though, even in the face of a full Juggalo onslaught.

that video is like the crucifixion. "you know not what you do"

55 Cadillac is definitely the bomb though, I've run tests and had it confirmed from outside sources.

he loves the juggalo tribes so much he is willing to lay down his headbanging for them

I saw him live last year, kind of awesome when he invited several hundred people up onstage to dance with him, leaving about ten people in the audience.

Oh my gosh he's straight from a RAY BRADBURY STYLE EVIL CIRCUS!

Oh sorry about the caps there.

I love this picture so much...except I just got this in the mail & it's this like infinite regress-type thing. A smaller version of the image of him holding the albums covers the black space where his head is.

And I like THAt even better!

Plus this

AWK is ariel pink's bizarro astral twin (and vice versa), they are both schizo in equal and opposite ways

He looks like some kind of really bad Judy Garland impersonator in that cover and the name of the album (or collection of rarities, I guess) is called MOTHER of Mankind! Is AWK asserting the presence of the divine feminine within his own inner mythos?

In the early 1990's the Universal Group began a coordinated effort in film and especially pop music, in which they created their own robotic actors and performers, who's careers they could design and program from the start. Andrew WK (signed on in '97 or '98, officially launched in 2001) and Lady Gaga (signed on in '03 or '04, officially launched in 2008) are two artists with seemingly nothing in common, but in fact they are both constructed, hired figure-heads for a USA based effort of the occult society, most likely the Freemasons or the Illuminati.

These group's aims are control and power and it uses music, movies and other pop culture media to influence and brain wash the youth population while they play out rituals designed to give them energy while they worship Lucifer. Andrew WK and Lady Gaga both proudly promote that they "come from" New York City, the city of Babylon and the home of the largest Illuminati conspiracy of the past 20 years: 9/11.

Illuminati conspiracies aren't even amusing to me anymore. They're just depressingly stupid.

AWK was on Jarvis's show this week. I didn't find the music selection to be hugely inspiring and don't think Jarv is particularly good as a radio presenter but it's a pretty good interview with Andrew, if a little laid back. Starts at about 1:00.

Actually the music was pretty good but Jarvis chats too much so the whole thing seems low-key.

Awesome vid from Andrew's wife:

Heading to UC Irvine, it turns out...

most likely the Freemasons or the Illuminati
