Why "Hmmmm"?

― Henry A Blacktune (Ken L), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 21:16 (twenty-one years ago)

YES!

You are responding to Phil, no doubt.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 21:30 (twenty-one years ago)

nope, thread title only.

― gygax! (gygax!), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 22:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually, I think he is experiencing his annual year end breakdown, brought on by his other alter ego, Andrew Y2K.

― Ken L (Ken L), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 22:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I dig, you're on an alter ego trip!

― Henry A Blacktune (Ken L), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 22:41 (twenty-one years ago)

At some point I read this and thought there was something about an "awk" script, and I thought "an awk script- that's what's causing these server problems!"

Andrew from Down Under > Andrew WK

― Henry A Blacktune (Ken L), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 22:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm reading up about all this weirdness on the AWK message board... strange stuff man... we're talking extortion schemes, assassination attempts, alter egos, unusual behavior, the works.

either that or another one of those goddamn guerilla marketing schemes. frankly, i hope it's the former.

love this news bit from awkworld.com:

"NEW ANDREW W.K. ALBUM:

Andrew W.K. is deep in the midst of recording the third full-length album. THE POWER NEVER STOPS FORMING: The new songs are building to an even higher level of power and exaltation. Radiance, resplendence, and richness will coarse through every moment of every flourishing grandstand. Effulgence will surge with each thunderous collapse. The gorgeousness and grandeur of each sweat-dripping, blood-pumping, head-slamming moment of lusterous magnificence will fill our hearts with more strength than ever before. In other words, this is the pure majesty taken to the highest level of celebratory royalty. Binary is banal."

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 23:43 (twenty-one years ago)

ahahahahahaaaaa!!

genius

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 21 December 2004 23:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Someone needs to make a movie about this man. Now. Documentary, drama, comedy, wushu epic, it doesn't matter, just go for it.

― STOP WITH YOUR PTANS (natepatrin), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 23:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I guess I was kind of intentionally redundant, because the whole idea of getting wrapped up in your alter-ego is already gone wrong to begin with
This was a bit harsh. It's fine to have an alter ego or two. Perhaps what I meant was that to vehemently insist that your alter ego is a different person is a bit frightening.

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Hang on to your alter ego, Andrew!

this is like that one terrible Stephen King story where the writer gets stalked by the other writer he went to college with and plaigiarized but then in the end it turns out that it wasn't the other writer stalking him and ruining his life and in fact it was actually him in some other self-retributive personality (airy Shyamalan "Willis is Dead" / "It's the Present" noise)

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I think H4lr4n Ell!50n did a few of those too. And then there is Poe's "William Williams."

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:31 (twenty-one years ago)

This is AWK's Chris Gaines.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:34 (twenty-one years ago)

nabisco, did you just give away a certain movie I haven't seen but was considering renting (but probably not)?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:34 (twenty-one years ago)

he's talking about stand by me

― jblount, Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Gaining on you!

― Ken L (Ken L), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:36 (twenty-one years ago)

That was awful. Please delete last post, moderator people.

― Henry A Blacktune (Ken L), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 00:37 (twenty-one years ago)

lusterous
good word.

Andrew needs legs more. (Xpost back to the pic)

i cant believe awk is stealing from chaki. i invented awk. this is nonsense. i will be on stage as him tomorrow in maine.

― chaki in charge (chaki), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 10:24 (twenty-one years ago)

If they are all Andrew WK and Andrew WK is somewhere else and also there, can I still be me and where am I sitting?

― coco, Wednesday, 22 December 2004 10:57 (twenty-one years ago)

There's now an FAQ on the main site, which doesn't actually help in the slightest. There now seems to be a distinction between Andrew W.K., "Andrew W.K." and Andrew W.K. Inc.

This is k-bonkers.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 13:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Notable facts about the FAQ on the front page:
1. They mention something about codes, and list a phone number with an NYC area code. Of course I called it just to see if it'd been shut down yet (it is on the front page of a major website) and when I did it cut automatically to a pre recorded message saying "this is Andrew WK I'm not here right now" or something like that. It was creepy.
2. Q: Is Andrew W.K. actually an actor hired to play a role?
A: "ANDREW W.K." is dedicated to making the most exciting music possible and committed to providing fans with a truly stimulating experience. Please refer to the article "WHO IS ANDREW W.K.?" for more information.

This is genius.

― David Allen (David Allen), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 14:04 (twenty-one years ago)

i wonder if hes gonna show up to this "noise against facism" show in dc on 1/20. i hope so.

― peter smith (plsmith), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I like how the thread title reads like a conversation with Lassie.

Has anyone seen AWK and the KLF in the same room at the same time???

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 17:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, Spencer has just made me actually like AWK for the first time.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 17:15 (twenty-one years ago)

For some reason I though you were in the pro-AWK camp, Ned.
I no longer feel so alone!

― Thermo Thinwall (Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 17:18 (twenty-one years ago)

There are many many other reasons to like Mr. WK, right now it's "She is Beautiful", just a wonderful pop song.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 17:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Spencer were you at his LA "debut" at the Whiskey A Go Go in 2002?

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 23:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Missed that one.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 22 December 2004 23:49 (twenty-one years ago)

It was pre-"I Get Wet" but post-"Girls Own Juice" mini-tour. I took my friend from Japan when we were down there for ATPLA and we ended up leaving early. I wish I would have heard the record before seeing him, I was pretty shell-shocked as is... seeing him go from playing a tiny little noize club in SF (kimo's... RIP) to selling out the Whiskey in about 2 years.

H4lr4n Ell!50n

"this person is someone I worked very closely with and had a formal and family business relationship"
Maybe "this person" is actually himself? He's just referring to himself in the third person and this is his way of saying he's tired of the previous AWK schtick he put himself through, and is now on to some new schtick?

― Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 16 September 2009 18:52 (sixteen years ago)

it's awk fite klub!

― ☀ ☃ (am0n), Thursday, 8 April 2010 01:09 (sixteen years ago)

Woah awesome. Also recorded this when he was 17?

― Adam Bruneau, Thursday, 8 April 2010 03:32 (sixteen years ago)

doubt it

― ☀ ☃ (am0n), Thursday, 8 April 2010 03:34 (sixteen years ago)

Yeah, it really sounds like one of his more recent songs. The story sounds like bullshit too but I gave him the benefit of the doubt since I can't see why would he actually bother making this stuff up? Then I read: "Three months ago, I was advised by my personal manager and life coach to finally let people hear it, to resolve the nightmare" and it almost makes sense cos who knows what Eugene Landry shit's going on with Andrew WK right now?

If the story's true then I hope can forget all the angst it's caused him because it's great. It's powerful and over the top while still being at heart a simple rock song. I'd like to hear Bonnie Tyler doing it.

sounds bowie-like, like something off Labyrinth.

― Melvin van Osterlow, Jr. (res), Thursday, 8 April 2010 04:00 (sixteen years ago)

it's definitely not old. this another addition to his extended resume of performance art.

― Melvin van Osterlow, Jr. (res), Thursday, 8 April 2010 04:01 (sixteen years ago)

I can't see why would he actually bother making this stuff up?

i think u can see

― velko, Thursday, 8 April 2010 04:27 (sixteen years ago)

What a nut he is.

― everything, Thursday, 8 April 2010 04:51 (sixteen years ago)

OK, the "I'm not me!" shit 6 months ago was one thing, this is just WEIRD. Is this guy touched in the head or something? Whoever mentioned Marissa Marchant upthread was OTM.

― Gay nineties icecream party (Trayce), Thursday, 8 April 2010 06:23 (sixteen years ago)

res otm.

― Fetchboy, Thursday, 8 April 2010 07:33 (sixteen years ago)

I hope this is the "Willow" song Desdemona sings before her death in "Othello."

― Ponies are horse children (Abbott), Thursday, 8 April 2010 14:40 (sixteen years ago)

Goes with the stalker-ish sentiments of "This is My World" and "I Want Your Face".

― Adam Bruneau, Thursday, 8 April 2010 14:40 (sixteen years ago)

That baritone doesn't sound like any 17 year old I've ever heard. Maybe Rick Astley.

"Harm / that's what you're in for / if you don't open the door"

YIKES!

I had a crush on a girl and was deeply and passionately fixated on her. She had a baby face, a 14-tooth smile, large eyes, a crowned forehead, an oversized brow and a tender style.

What's a "14-tooth smile"?!?

this is such an obvious and weird publicity stunt.
