13 Tales Tales: Godless Mohammed Nietzsche

Fathead sits on a bench with no cigarette.

For months after completing Thirteen Tales we all had copies of the album. I had listened to my copy roughly 4000 times when one day I was riding in a car that had one of those CD players that automatically started the disc over again after the last song. The last song on the record was “Nietzsche.”  It turned itself around to the first song on the album which, for the first 4000 times I listened to it, was “Country Leaver.”

“Country Leaver” to me sounded really great right after “Nietzsche.” I started thinking of how it would work if it was moved to song two but “Solid” didn’t seem right directly after it. Then I thought maybe it would work if the record just started with the “trippy ending” songs at the top then “Nietzsche” would be third and “Country Leaver” would be fourth and so on. This was before iTunes and laptops and iPods so I had to go back to the car stereo and start the record at “Godless” to see how it felt.

It was amazing. That “Godless” intro right at the top into “Mohammed” just seemed perfect. Then “Country Leaver” sort of worked as a wake up call with its rooster sort of waking you from the stoned haze of the first three songs. Magically, “The Gospel” ends up last when you do this creating a perfect ending to what I believe is a perfect record.

13 Tales Tales: Rockin’ on the horse size…

I had a 1966 Cadillac Sedan Deville that I had bought just a little after we released Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia. It was huge. One of the longest cars ever made. 19 feet 8 inches if I remember right. It fit eight people easily. It had five ash trays. It was the most perfect car I ever owned.

For the Horse Pills video we decided to pile eight people into the car and basically have a raging party while I drove down I-5 and 405 in a circle around Portland. We turned the camera on and just passed it around the car taking turns filming. Looking back I’m thinking it might have been a bit dangerous but we were young and carefree. The video is a document of one of the best periods of my life. To me it works as an extension to the video for Bohemian Like You that was mainly filmed in my Rock Dorm apartment and my two favourite neighbourhood bars featuring most of my favourite people. It feels like one of those nights when we would all leave Slabtown and pile into my Caddy and head across town. It’s a great low budget DIY video that just works.

Racer Emerson Newton-John & Support for Cancer Awareness

Here is Emerson Newton-John’s Race car. He was kind enough to show his support of The Dandys in his race in Baltimore and we think his sponsor is a worthy cause for you to look into.

Pink and Blue for Two (PB42) is a cancer awareness campaign that links the strikingly similar statistics between breast and prostate cancers, while urging couples to remind one another to visit their doctors regularly for screenings. They emphasize the importance of early detection of BOTH breast and prostate cancers equally. Pink and Blue for Two unites people everywhere in the pursuit of global breast and prostate cancer awareness, and to spread the work together in the importance of early detection.

Now if he would only let me try out his car. I love this guy.

FUN: Bowling for Mattress

Bowling at Mattress’sss birthday party a few years ago. It was a hell of a night. I’m pretty sure Mattress won every game. He could go pro.

This Cool Jesus Video

Hi. My name is Brent. I play the drums for The Dandy Warhols.

I found this video on the world wide web and thought I would share it with the good folks who visit our website. Someone somewhere took our video for “This is the Tide” and replaced the music with “Hard on for Jesus.” Now we have three videos for one song (“This is the Tide”) and two songs for one video (“Jesus” and “Tide”).

Wow! My head is spinning! The wonders of modern technology I’ll tell ya…..
