Andrew W.K.

"hair metal = satan/misery = integrity" narrative of rock history

can you explicate, please?

dude he just makes fun music, what is there to 'understand'?

Read the pitchfork review.

I'm admitting that my reaction to Andrew WK says more about my own prejudices than anything else. To me, the idea of a classically trained musician with a deep respect for John Zorn projecting a 'dumb party guy' image and landing a record deal with a major label and cranking out a giant hit or two is bizarre. Maybe that isn't bizarre to you but it is to me.

I think it's sort of good bizarre. I'm a big fan of the incongruous.

lolz kids show

ugh

Uh is that his home phone number on his myspace?

Wouldn't be surprised. Didn't he personally call the first thousand people who bought I Get Wet or something?

Who bought 'The Wolf.' I love that man.

Me! I listened to it a couple times (once on mushrooms iirc) its okay. Make Sex is funny

the cartoon network isn't really for kids as much as it is for adults on drugs

'I Get Wet' = record of the decade for real

'Destroy Build Destroy' not v good tho

'I Get Wet' = record of the decade for real

it's no Horse of a Different Color

No, I Get Wet is better.

u should post to this thread
Big & Rich: Album of the Decade?

x-post - I loved "I Get Wet" when it first came out. Have you seen his twitter? It can be pretty amusing: http://twitter.com/AndrewWK

This is a good friend of mine on Halloween a while ago now - I still love it:

omg <3

Saw AWK give a piano concert - was awesome - also, apparently he twittered congrats to my friend who got married

I think the secret to exercising regularly and at a strenuous pace is to make sure that the only song on your iPod is 'I Get Wet'

I like to party

Hey you! *points finger* Let's party.

Come on everybody: it's time to party.

in other party-related news, this guy also likes to party (unfortunately there's no link for my favorite track, "Too Tired to Party")

I think he is the best human of the decade. He is inspiring and amazing!

hey c'mon now... no love for Aung San Suu Kyi?

Gravel I agree!

If not the best record of the decade, one of the top 10 EASY

I wish I cld listen to it with you all in a car. It is a joy to drive to. We wld have such a happy, bonding, raucous time together.

Ok guys here is my 'armchair speculating' thing that I indulge in infrequently (& I know I've said I don't care for such things before, so sry for the hypocrisy). Anyway, I think the W.K. might be bipolar.

I have tried to pump my good old friend and ex-bandmate for information about the WK (they both played in Current 93 together on a tour and AWK even played drums in my friend's band and is featured on a tour cdr) but he never has anything to say :(

Maybe that's my 'problem' too! :O

Now I have to reconsider everything.

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.

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

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