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.

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.

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?

'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.
― Philip Nunez, Thursday, 6 August 2009 00:08 (fourteen years ago) link
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?'
― Adam Bruneau, Thursday, 6 August 2009 00:51 (fourteen years ago) link
teh label made him change a lot of lyrics for I Get Wet... the tour he did before the release had totally diff lyrics IIRC (ie, "girl's own juice" -> "girl's own love")
― (*゚ー゚)θ L(。・_・) °~ヾ(・ε・ *) (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 6 August 2009 01:01 (fourteen years ago) link
oh man, i thought it was girls own love as in girls have ownership of love. "girls own juice" never made much sense, like they own a welches grape soda factory with profit-sharing or something.

Okay, I meant to say, I have never actually seen that show scheduled on television, but I watched a few clips of it on youtube and agree that it is essence the ideal kids show and reminds me a little of a show I used to love when I was young called Beakman's world that nobody but my sister and I ever remember.
― ❊❁❄❆❇❃✴❈plaxico❈✴❃❇❆❄❁❊ (I know, right?), Thursday, 6 August 2009 01:43 (fourteen years ago) link
I watched Beakman's World all the time.
How did we figure out Steev Mike was Dave Grohl? Any time I try & read about the whole thing it's a trip down the rabbit hole.

You probably know about his new album of classical piano solos that just came out. Possibly you know of his forthcoming tour with a string quartet. But have you heard about the Gundam Rock album due on 9/9/9?
Also, he is on Red Eye tonight but you probably knew that already.
