Honestly, I don't see a lot there beyond "Andrew W K isn't that bright or politically involved" - the only thing that bothers me is the quote about him loving Breitbart, and the source of it is - an article on Breitbart.There's what seems to be an informed rebuttal here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AndrewWK/comments/9mvw92/andrew_wk_has_long_extensive_ties_to_rightwing/e7i30hz/

Yeah AWK is about as apolitical as it gets

yeah, weak tea guilt by association shit. he's about as guilty as Damien from Fucked Up in that case.

That's all good to read, thanks.

I feel less enamoured by the mystery in the cold light of day
I love that he still finds it fun to generate intricate layers of confusing backstory and then publish disinformation about the stuff he's put so much effort into.
Thanks for that rebuttal link, AF.

that track is a snooze im sure his fans from his Glen Beck network show will dig tho

I've never been an AWK fan, but the video has a Matthew Barney-ish feel that I'm into. The song's...fine, but nothing without the visuals.

The "Babalon" video is quite something as well.

OK, just watched "Babalon" and that is legitimately great (song and video). If he'd sounded like this all along I'd have been a fan 20 years ago.

apparently an entire journal of his from 1998-2000 leaked online

feels wrong to be reading this but it's pretty fascinating, hundreds of pages not only detailing the entire Andrew WK persona but also a man at war with himself. seems to explore the whole "use actors for the first few years/make it seem like everyone else is doing the work" idea. at some point he lays out his first 9 albums, #5 being "The Devil's on Your Side" and #6 being "The Party Gods"
obviously a good chance this was all made in the last couple of months but still, pretty crazy shit here
