Drinking dirty Martini's outside in Tulsa. Eating mini cheeseburgers with 1,000 Island & extra ketchup. This is a party!

Anybody seen him shilling for the new Cartoon Network lineup of reality shows? The songs not bad but fuck, just makes me want a new album from the dude.

goddamn right.

i know it gets said too much, but this guy is awesome.

couple of weeks ago, having beers and doobs at an old friends bday party, listening to CCWBW it was the best <3

and we had cupcakes too

Next time you drink something (water, milk, beer), you give thanks for the existence of fluid & its contribution to partying.

^^ the best face-pull i have seen in a good while

"you give thanks" vs. "you SHOULD give thanks". Andrew WK is giving you a goddamn ORDER.

Man finding episodes of Destroy, Build Destroy on torrent trackers is hard going...

i was perturbed to find andrew wk following me on twitter the other week. i HAAAAATE andrew wk.

awesome.

I want him to follow me. I bet if I send him a message he would. I should do this, y?

if he lived a few a thousand years ago we'd have a whole other religion now

A couple of years ago I was reading lots of longform AWK stuff (he used to answer letters from people with these glorious two-page calls to action) and there was some seriously awesome, sermon-on-the-mount stuff.

Don't we already have Greek/Roman party gods? Did they just not rock hard enough?

love this fuckin guy

Maybe he wants to know about dubstep and funky?

probably thought Donae'O was doing a cover

this thread was responsible for a long argument w/ my girlfriend - I was trying to explain to her why I thought this man was a complete genius. she mostly listens to classical music.

Take her to see him live - the only place where it all makes sense.

"she mostly listens to classical music."
hey what is her assessment of AWK's classical piano training?

"a waste"

haha! Burn!

I really just shouldn't have started that conversation

have you played for her his latest improv piano album?

i know his moms (no, NOT in the biblical sense) (she is a very nice, smart lady)

also, I too like to party.

def one of the 10 worst artists of this decade, ugh @ the fawning "genius" talk

You just don't know anything about him, that's all.

great posts in this thread

I hate Kathy Griffin so so much. Can't she take her smug altered face back to wherever it came from and never come out again?

she is awful. andrew wk is still a weird fucking phenomenon to me that I don't really get. Is it irony? Is it serious? also what was with the whole "he is just a created persona" thing that was going around?

Check out how long the responses are on this thing:

'what was with the whole "he is just a created persona" thing that was going around?'

This was a set of rumors that at least some of which were sanctioned/started by AWK inc. or the susan lawly foundation or whatever it was he called it. I think he/they were going for something grander than Dave Grohl = AWK.

no... steev mike was dave grohl.

Yeah i read that Onion piece back when I Get Wet just came out, and he had all this amazing inspirational stuff on his website. I was really excited about it, because I already liked his music, but reading this stuff was just icing on the cake.

The whole persona idea is interesting and if you've seen Who Knows? or listened to Close Calls With Brick Walls it feels like even if there aren't varying AWK actors then he definitely has some crazy schizophrenic themes running through his work. How does a song like "Pushing Drugs" (which is a AWESOME song in a completely different way than most of his stuff) fit in with this inspirational mindset? I love the line 'Mother nature does a favor, puts your body in a hearse, is what I'm doing really any worse?'
