At Warwick Castle

I spent the afternoon at Warwick Castle yesterday.  I’ve been wearing a t shirt from the place for a couple years now so it was about time.

Anyhoo, I must say it’s really worth the trip. All that medieval nonsense just sends me.

The most fascinating thing though is this waxwork of a young Winston Churchill.  The man was gorgeous.

I’ve heard a couple stories of how the Brits got into WWII:

One is that they had a very old pact with Poland which left them no choice.

The one I like best is that Hitler told Churchill he would leave England alone and make him the highest ranking official in the realm if they would abolish the royal family and pay some kind of monetary tribute to Germany.

Winston Churchill told Adolph Hitler to fuck himself.

What a man.

Odditorium Photo Of The Day: 30 June 2009

BIG ROOM.  I like how every photo taken in the Oddotiurm has a tint of either amber or red.
BIG ROOM. Quit being such a lush, god damn it.

PS.  Are you excited about The Dandy Warhols Are Sound coming out in two weeks?  I am.  I was going back and forth comparing songs on Monkey House and Are Sound the other day and was knocked out by the difference.  But not how like a crazy transvestite would knock you out with an iron in her purse, no.  Like how when a little kid will sing you a song and give you a hug because that’s what little kids do. That kind of knocked out.  On July 14, get a hug!

Saturday Night MJ Party At The Oddy

Zia and Poopie decided to throw a Michael Jackson dance party at the Odditorium on Saturday night. You could say it was very successful in that way more people showed up than expected.  Like a “who are these people” amount of people.  Guess you shouldn’t post a party on Craigslist.  ::shrug::  (Craigslist joke by Brian Coates, professional quipster.)

Blackbird

Hey.  Since the tragic news of Mr. Jackson’s passing yesterday, we here at The Odditorium have been besieged with requests of the status of  The Dandys’ cover of The Beatles’ “Blackbird”, as foretold, and some would say, fore-promised (that’s probably not a word), in the title track of our 2003 album Welcome To The Monkey House.  Please note that this was not an anticipated event and we had no cover of “Blackbird” all rearin’ to go.  I mean, how could we?  With both Courtney and Fathead currently out of town we cannot say when we will be able to get to this cover of “Blackbird”, but we will, as soon as we are all together and able, since we have come to find that it means so much to a lot of you.

We thank you for your continued love and patience. Much love back, on behalf of The Dandy Warhols and all of us here at the Odditorium in Portland.

tour-thing

We thought it would be fun to tour with our friends and label mates Spindrift, so we came up with this, what we are calling “THE BACKBONE OF AMERICA TOUR”. (See if you can figure out why.)  All shows are all ages, so you can throw that fake I.D.  in the trash. (No one believes it anyway.)

Tickets are already on sale (or, on “pre-sale”) if you’re a Dandys subscriber.  OH!!  Tickets for the rest of youse go on sale at noon tomorrow (June 24th).  That’s probably noon our time (pacific), not yours.  Check back here then for a special pre-sale widget.  (Tickets for the Monolith Festival, September 13 at Red Rocks are already on sale, no waiting or widgets.)

Fathead’s Record

I just had the good luck of happening on Fathead finishing his record.  Jeez louise.  It’s amazing.  He recorded it with Brian Coates a couple years ago and it was amazing to see what those dark days became after those years of growth.  Unbelievably beautiful music.

Dandys Pedalpalooza Bike Ride

I heard from Sarah’s friend Jo Ryan that there was a Dandy Warhols bike ride as one of the events for “Pedalpalooza“. It was listed in the paper saying it was going to a tour of the important locations in the history of the band around the city of Portland.  Zia and I went and there was a great turn out and we cruised around in a giant mob blasting the Dandys on a boom box that was attached to the tour guides bicycle. We went to the WTTMH studio, to Slabtown, the Rock Dorm, the Oddy, a bar called “Plan B” to watch some Dandy videos, (including ‘Plan A‘ – get it?) to the X-ray Cafe, and some locations around town where some of the Dandy music videos were shot. We finished up at pretty much my favorite bar in town, the Red Fox on Albina for beers. Zia and I tried out a ‘tall’ bike. Pretty scary ! An absolutely perfect night.
