I was in Cape Cod almost 15 yrs ago at a bar where this old guy Rocky King was playing piano and singing. He told jokes too. I have a very clear image of his hands playing this song. It was so cool it left an impression strong enough that I finally checked YouTube and of course here he is playing it in 2009 at that same bar.
He really is such an amazing pianist. This style is very very cool.

A lot of people (no one) write, “hey Gothman, it seems to me — the untrained ignorant eye of unabashed, unblinking reason — like you people don’t really do anything there at the Odditorium. Y’alls’re just distracting The Dandy Warhols from making new music.” First off, Imaginary Complaint Provocateur, I have to tell you that it’s HIGHLY offensive to be referred to as “you people”. It’s 2009, not 1956. Come on, dude. Second, we would not classify the following expletive-laden cartoons as distracting in ANY way:

If you think that sitting around making up, and laughing at, cartoons like these keep us, and the rest of The Dandy Warhols gang, from the important business of curing the world’s ills with NEW Dandy Warhols musical entertainment, then sir, I think I do not think that I want to have much to do with you.

Courtney and Fathead just recorded a few jams live in the studio for KTCL 93.3 Denver’s Garage Session.
It’s airing today at 5:15 pm Mountain Time.
Here’s a LINK to the live stream (supposedly Firefox is not supported)

We had Tim and Damian from OKGO come over and lay some stuff down for Breathe Easy. Damn these guys are talented. Really nice chaps too. They played bass and guitar over a pretty smokin Raveonettes jam. Now we just need some brave soul to sing on it.

Saw something extraordinary last night. Saw the Dandy Warhols live.
Which is something I’ve been trying to do for about a year and a half now, ever since I ran into Pete Holmstrom at a book signing in Portland and was bowled over to find he read my books. Ever since then, Pete has been brandishing free tickets and backstage passes at me whenever the Dandys showed up in the UK, and every time I managed to find myself locked into some other engagement – convention in Italy, anniversary in a stone circle on the outer Hebrides, like that.

It’s already Twenty Oh-Nine for our friends in Oz and NZ, and you guys in Greece and Spain and Italy and Germany and Holland and the Netherlands and France and Britain and Ireland, you’re coming up before you know it. Well, before we know it. We’re in Chicago tonight for one of our old fashioned Dandy Warhols New Years Parties, like how we cooked ’em up back in the 1900s. I bet you can still get tickets if you click these words with you mouse deal.
Everyone else, thanks for tagging along on our quest to Beat The World in 2008. We’ve got some pretty big deals up our wrists for Oh Nine. Hope you can come with us.
Love youse,
Los Warhols
