13 Tales Tales: ‘I want a god who stays dead, not just plays dead.’

Written by sea gothman on . Posted in News, The Dandy Warhols.

The Dandy Warhols, 1998 or 1999 or whenever

Now Courtney usually eschews discussing what songs “mean,” but in this interview conducted in 2000 with Ink 19, the subject of Nietzsche comes up, and…

Courtney, you’ve had this fascination for Nietzsche, and now you’ve written a song named for him. How was that song inspired?

Courtney: That came straight off the bathroom-stall wall of a private college in Portland. Pete and I roadied for a swing band that was playing there. I couldn’t believe it when I saw that. I was like “Okay, I’ve gotta use that. That’s amazing.” It said “I want a god who stays dead, not just plays dead. Even I can play dead.” And that’s the lyrics to the song.

Read the entire interview, which includes some anecdotes on the recording of Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia, as well as what Saturday morning cartoon Zia thinks the Dandys are most comparable to, by pointing your interweb browser HERE.

13 Tales Tales: Godless at Dantes

Written by sea gothman on . Posted in News, The Dandy Warhols.

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

Written by sea gothman on . Posted in News, The Dandy Warhols.

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.
