I wish he would have said two people instead of one.

Congratulations Portland! We finally won the honor of Unhappiest City in The US. Thanks to all the cloudy days, high suicide rates and shite economy we win! Now maybe all those developers and business folks will think twice before adding another ‘Pearl’ to Portland. Leave us be, leave us to our rain and grief, our coffee and cigarettes, our dark arts. Oh wait, is that it? Did we get even sadder now that we have to smoke outside in the rain? Is that what finally got us crowned as The Saddest? Sadder than New Orleans, St. Louis and Detroit? Well so be it.

Hey man, what are you up to? We’re still in the development phase for this site, figuring out what we want to do, what should go where, all that jazz. We’ll figure it all out. Thanks for coming by to read what we have going on so far. A lot more is on the way, for sure.
At the Oddy, we’re finishing up out Earth To The Remix EP Vol 2 which is due to be in stores on April 18 for Record Store Day. With all-new remixes by The Dandy Warhols, it’s something you really should not miss. (And if you’re a subscriber to our Subscription Service, you know you won’t miss a damn thing.)
Got Twitter? We do. Follow us over there. (We gotta come up with a better word for “tweets”, though. I mean, this is Oregon, we have bigger birds than ones that go “tweet.”) Anyway, that’s over there, so check it out.
Finally, our Beat The World label mates Spindrift and The Upsidedown are now on tour in the western U.S. Together, in some cases – like tonight, here in Portland. You would feel really dumb if you missed these two awesome groups. “And what did you do while Spindrift and The Upsidedown were in town?” “Oh, I had my thump up my butt.” No.
More news on the way soon, I’m sure. Unless we get hit by an asteroid. Did you hear about that? Scary. Take cover.

Check out this new fish that they just found. I think it was listening to The Dandy Warhols Come Down when they discovered it, cuz they called it H. Psychedelica. I can’t imagine what the H is for, though.
Here’s what the Associated Press says:
Like other frogfish — a subset of anglerfish — H. psychedelica has leglike fins on both sides of its body.
But it has several traits not previously known among frogfish, wrote Pietsch, of the University of Washington.
Each time the fish strike the seabed, for instance, they push off with their fins and expel water from tiny gill openings to jet themselves forward. That and an off-centered tail cause them to bounce around in a bizarre, chaotic manner.
The fish, which has a gelatinous, fist-size body covered with thick folds of skin that protect it from sharp-edged corals, also has a flat face with eyes directed forward, like humans, and a huge, yawning mouth.
Zia thinks the H. is short for HEAVY.

Silent Movie (1976) – The interesting thing here is to watch a silent color film and it just happens that every couple hours or so they throw in a pretty funny gag.

Slaughterhouse Five (1972) – Okay, I just can’t seem to think of any clever way to say how knocked out I am by the genius on every level (ie cinematography, casting editing etc.) of this adaptation of the Vonnegut classic.

Here’s an article that I actually love. I think it’s short and sweet (like all great journalism) and sounds like me most of the time.
I have no idea why this didn’t show up on your Goog-a-lert but whatever. The world is such a complicated place and I try to be a Luddite whenever possible.

No matter how many traffic accidents there are (est 31,000 last year in the U.S.) I am amazed at how well our traffic system actually works. It seems to me, considering how kinda absentminded we are as a species, that I should constantly be ducking, bobbing and weaving to avoid these giant clumsy projectiles a lot more than I am every time I get in my car. Now add texting whilst driving. Sheesh.
Actually upon a quick analysis, traffic laws might be the only proof that rules actually work, if they are finite and fairly well policed.
can anyone tell me whether or not it is illegal to make a left turn across a double yellow line? i see an awful lot of stopped traffic in town of people waiting for someone to do this.

The Dandys’ cover of the Cure’s “Primary” is available for free along with this week’s NME special tribute to The Cure, pictured with me on the cover looking all bashful. (Oh, that’s Robert Smith.) “Pictures of You, A Tribute to Godlike Geniuses of the Cure.” Get it at your local, what do they call ’em over there, news agents?
If you can’t pic up the mag, our song is still available on the double length Cure tribute Perfect As Cats, available in stores and on iTunes.
UPDATE: Yes, Lee, thanks. This special edition of NME drops in your lap Feb 28th.
Also, this message comes from Robert Smith:
“I LOVE THE DANDY WARHOLS AND I LOVE THIS PRIMARY COVER!”
