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

Missed that one.

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.

does saying his name 3 times summon him or something?

i saw him play with tlasila, and he seemed ok...

five months pass...

this site catalogs all the bizarreness and theories. it's a very good site, and it's a fascinating read... oddly, this site is linked from AWK's main page. A bit odd, isn't it?

Anyone have any idea what sales were for his albums?

Also, what happened to that MTV show with him? (Or was it VH1? MTV2?)

― Confounded (Confounded), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 16:35 (eighteen years ago) link

xpost, That site is crazy.

Good lord. (a) Weird-o-rama. And (b), is that picture of Nicole Kidman on there for real?

hm. at first I thought that article was going to blow me away with new information, but the writer's claims are not backed up by anything, and it appears that his claims are simply "bolstered" by his disdain for AWK's style of music. I dunno, his statements are shocking, but he seems too biased to be reliable.

― -vest, Wednesday, 10 August 2005 21:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Why don't any of those sites mention Wolf Eyes or Fisherspooner or any of that stuff?

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 21:54 (eighteen years ago) link

I can't open the first one on my Mac. That second guy neglects the fact that he put out records on the Bulb label as Andrew W.K. before getting signed to Island.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 10 August 2005 22:06 (eighteen years ago) link

First guy analyses the liner notes from the Bulb releases.

strange results from google search

― -vest, Thursday, 11 August 2005 04:35 (eighteen years ago) link

if you go to the index of that site you get a strange slideshow and eventually a new song. i haven't listened to it yet.

― el sabor de gene (yournullfame), Thursday, 11 August 2005 04:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Talk about a bad Dianne Warren/AWK photoshopping.. you can see the Atari 2600 style low res shadow pixels

― donut ferry (donut), Thursday, 11 August 2005 04:53 (eighteen years ago) link

that website really frightened me.

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 11 August 2005 04:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Where is that song, el sabor (if you don't mind)? I don't see it.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 11 August 2005 04:54 (eighteen years ago) link

This reminds me so much of that crazy guerilla marketing campaign for AI which involved a network of mysterious and creepy websites that needed to be decoded. Anyone remember that?

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Thursday, 11 August 2005 05:02 (eighteen years ago) link

Absolutely -- I was thinking the same thing. Esp. since the Steev Mike post was the first I'd heard of a third album. But then, I don't really follow the AWK news too closely...

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Thursday, 11 August 2005 05:07 (eighteen years ago) link

I just went and looked at andrewwk.com, and...um...wow.

He needs to get together with Marissa Marchant and make the most insane album ever.

prescient

Isn't there an ILM poster named "steev???"

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 11 August 2005 05:16 (eighteen years ago) link

BTW, here's a site that archives the AI thing I was talking about. It was really quite similar: a string of small websites at different URLS, encoded messages, a fan site that decoded it all for people who couldn't be bothered to care, etc.

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Thursday, 11 August 2005 05:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Where is that song, el sabor (if you don't mind)? I don't see it.

ok, the other site redirects to www.andrewwk.com, where there's a slideshow you can click through. at the end you get a page with a bunch of pics of mr. wk, including drivers license photos and what looks like a high school yearbook pic from the 1950s. it's at the bottom of the page. it sounds more like a beer commercial than usual.

the new sightings rec is gonna ROCK

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 11 August 2005 06:50 (eighteen years ago) link

would it really suprise anyone that AWK isn't 'authentic'?
i mean, really.
just listen to the stuff, it's like Go-Go's meets metal and they form like Voltron to PARTYHARD!!!!!!!

strangley, my paranoid minds loves this sorta stuff and i thought that immediately upon hearnig the music...
man, i love the Tom Cruise parts!!! more Scientology related stuff, please!!tnx.

not really; did you actually read the article? he has no first-hand information from reliable sources.

anyway, if anyone's interested, there's another new song "Kicks and Bricks" on http://www.andrewwk.com.

What ever happened to him?

― js (honestengine), Thursday, 20 July 2006 03:55 (seventeen years ago) link

looks like he has three albums recorded that he plans to release in 2006. i hope they rock.

'the wolf' was released so long agoooooooooooo......

― Ben H (Ben H), Thursday, 20 July 2006 04:52 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't there's any doubt that they will rock, as you say, because that is AWK. He doesn't do anything else. He's one-dimensional in a beautiful Ramones-ian kind of way. Bring on the new stuff.

― Nick H (Nick H), Thursday, 20 July 2006 07:59 (seventeen years ago) link

There's already another thread somewhere with NEW STUFF ON IT.

He has a song called Hand On The Place. Party on.

Is the trouble possible to sum up in a few sentences?

― Mark (MarkR), Thursday, 20 July 2006 11:59 (seventeen years ago) link

ha not really, as its not quite clear wtf any of it is about. there are some links upthread that will give you an idea
