(1927) Holy shit, Al Jolson looks exactly like Steve Martin! |

(1990) They’re trying to be real wacky and zany here but after about fifteen minutes I just couldn’t tolerate how much it sucked. |

Hey, here is an interview Fathead gave with Triple-J in Melbourne last week, talking about living in Australia, festivals, and the new Capitol Years record. At the end of the interview, you will hear half of the newest Dandys song, “This is the Tide”. The second half of the song is just as good, so you should buy it when it comes out wherever you live.

“L’accordeoniste”
For years I have wondered what the hell she could be singing about in this song. This chorus is so grand and sweeping that I of course hoped the lyrics and subject matter lived up to the sweeping grandeur of the melody. Well guess what…. holy shit.
Here is the older Edith singing it with English translation:
Here’s a great shot of her in her younger grace and beauty:
This chick sings like the ultimate heavyweight champ of the world. Damn.
COURTNEY TAYLOR-TAYLOR
From an interview CTT submitted to the Daily Telegraph in Sydney:
1. DOWN UNDER DRUMMER
Dandy Warhols drummer Brent DeBoer has just moved to Melbourne, from where his wife hails. He got married out in the billabongs,” frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor says. We love Australia. We’re a guitar band, it’s a guitar country. Australia didn’t derail on the girl band/boy band/rap-rock nightmare of the late ’90s.”
2. INDIE MOOD
The next Dandy Warhols album won’t be on their own label again. “We’re terrible at business,” Taylor-Taylor admits. “Terrible. We don’t know what we’re doing. It’s like trying to have children run a household. We need to hook up with some indie label. The new stuff is sounding good. It’s a little less dirty so far.”
3. SINGLE MINDED
Their old label has released a new compilation Best of the Capitol Years 1995-2007 – with Dandy hits Bohemian Like You, We Used to Be Friends and Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth. “It’s funny to have all the big hits, the marginal hits and the cult hits all together on one album. It makes good sense.”
4. A WALK IN THE PARK
They’ll play the hits during their Parklife festival set. “We love playing dance festivals. We’re basically a trance band who use Simon and Garfunkel’s instruments and harmonies.”

(1967) This movie is so totally fuggin cool that I didnt really mind the little bit of bad acting and editing which included some real ham-fisting by Star Trek’s very own Dr Roger Corby whose name it took me going to sleep and waking up to fully recall without any help from imdb. |

Thought this photo was a funny little book review in and of itself.
The book sucks primarily because every character in it is a real piece of shit. Like an Altman film but somehow Altman could make that work for me. Or at least he did in “Nashville”. Not “Shortcuts” though. But that’s a whole different section on the website.

This message is for peoples in Portland only. If you don’t live in Portland, then go look at this.
So it’s just us guys here, right? Seems that tonight, on that most infamous block of SW3rd between Burnside and Ankney, we have a couple of things going on you should be made aware of.
Uno: At Dante’s (1 SW 3rd/$10/21+) tonight, Courtney and Zia will be taking part in Walt Curtis Birthday Party benefit. Who is Walt Curtis? Walt is is renown poet, author and artist, who most famously wrote a book you may have heard of called Mala Noche, which was, in turn, adapted into a motion picture by our friend, filmmaker Gus Van Sant. Well, a couple months ago, Walt lost everything he owned – all his books, all his art, everything – in a fire. Events taking place in Portland this week were set up to help Walt get back on his feet. Tonight is night two of the benefit, Walt’s Birthday Party at Dante’s, where will will find acts including Zia performing an acoustic set with her side project Brush Prairie, and Courtney will be reading his favorite Walt Curtis poem. This event is scheduled to run from 8pm-1am.
Dos: Literally across the street at Berbati’s Pan (231 SW Ankeny/$8/All Ages), Pete International Airport will be making its official debut, playing with the bands The Pharmacy, Cheap Flight, and The Shivas. Plucky says PIA will be going on at eleven.
(I guess ‘they’ will let you walk back and forth all night, right? They used to let you, right. Or am I imagining things?)
Another thing: if you’re in the Pearl late this afternoon, stop by Jinx (232 NW 12) for happy hour. Zia will be spinning.
Aaaaaand: If you wanna go to Rontoms (600 E Burnside) on July 4th for 1776, Logan Lynn, and The Hugs, you will be rewarded with a real great time.
Try not to blow your hands off over the weekend.
