13 Tales Tales: Godless at Dantes

On this date thirteen years ago The Dandy Warhols filmed the video for “Godless.” It was my first official day working for these jokers, and it set precedent of “sitting around all day, glaring” equals working. The most difficult part came when I had to stand for the six hour bathroom scene. So tough, acting.

Joining The Dandy Warhols in the video was Travis Grassman, as the bartender, Spike Keating and Michele Loew, as the couple, and Cameron the hula hoop boy as himself. The girl with the big eyes I don’t know and never saw again.

The video, directed by Chris Anthony, was filmed in the then newly-christened Dante’s at the ever bustling corner of 3rd and West Burnside in downtown Portland. So striking Dante’s was to me on that first day of filming, with its warm, dark womb-like ambience, hand to god I cannot remember what had occupied its spot previously.

More 13 Tales Tales tomorrow!

13 Tales Tales: St Johns Bridge & Get Off

tdw.040913.get-off

On this date in 2000, The Dandy Warhols closed down the St. Johns Bridge in NW Portland to film the bookend sequences for the “Get Off” video. Did you know you can just dial up the mayor’s office and demand a major Willamette River crossing to be closed just for laughs? You didn’t? That’s because you can’t. You need a permit and it has to be done at like 6am on a Sunday morning so longshormen don’t get all mad at you and stuff. I doubt St. Johns himself could close this bridge, say, during the Jazz Festival or whatever. If you’re going to shut down a bridge, please get permission first.

The remainder of the “Get Off” video was filmed two days later on April 11th. Why the “day off” in between? The answer to that tomorrow.

Australia Overstock Items Now For Sale

Click to go to the Australia Overstock Page, s'il vous plait

Oh no, we have these shirts sitting in Melbourne and getting infested with scary poison mutant spiders not making us any money at all, and since we have been hearing shipping from the US to Australia is like $10,000 (THANKS OBAMA), we figured we’d kill two spiders birds with one stone and offer them to Aussies to buy and not have to pay the ridiculous international shipping. (Just regular ridiculous shipping.)

We’re offering the always popular Oregon Flag shirt, the 2011 Ned Kelly Tour shirt, the 2012 Australia Tour shirt, and a black tote bag, good for carrying first aide books about spider bites. See these items HERE IN OUR ONLINE STORE.

Dandys Sweater Auction for Charity (2012)

TDW.XMAS11.POLOROID

You may recall the 2011 auction of our one of a kind holiday sweater vest (as seen above modeled by our young Jedidiah), the proceeds of which were donated to charity. The auction was ridiculously successful in raising much needed dough, and, at the end, the winner very graciously donated the sweater back to us so we could auction it off again and hopefully raise more money for good causes.

This year, we have chosen Oregon Citizens for Safe Drinking Water, “a non-profit, all volunteer organization dedicated to protecting the drinking water of all Oregonians through education and advocacy,” and the Fender Music Foundation, “a national music charity that provides instruments to music education programs across the country.” Please check out both organizations even if you have no plans for bidding, maybe send ’em some dough straight away.

This sweater auction runs from now until December 29th, 2012. Check out the eBay auction page HERE. Happy bidding.
