“Anything big and dead serious is perfect for comedy. The bigger the target and the more it takes itself seriously the better.” – Bill Coker (retired director)
My neighbor was the 1st asst director on the Smokey and the Bandit movies and we were discussing the personal nature of what people think is brilliant comedy when that gem came out of his mouth.

Well I tried to think of a great Autotuned® song but I can’t.
Anyhoo I’ve been in Denver for a few days and even went skiing for a half day. Nice. Jeez I’m sore. Well Denver was apparently just recently rated the most liveable city in America by someone who knows. Puh leeez. There’s a mall for every neighborhood and they’ve also distributed real big city ghettos so evenly that wheather you’re in a $300,000 or three million dollar neighborhood, you’re always three to eight blocks away from an actual ChicagoDetroitWashingtonDC styley ghetto.
Here’s the only photo I took:

The Legend of The Last of The Outlaw Truckers was featured last night on the hit French Language Canadian TV series Les Invincibles. They’re featuring the video for “Trucker Song” on their website and giving away a download of the track as well for those of you who haven’t already bought the album.

Pay no attention to the man behind the screen.
Things are acting a little different around here. A new site is being set up, so you will bear with us as things are getting sorted. A beefier Dandy Warhols dot com is in the pot… so chunky you can eat it with a fork.
Soon, pet.

There someone called DJ Rescue and she’s playing this Sundee (Feb22) at a party in SF called Guilty Pleasures. Who is this mysterious lady DJ Rescue from The Dandy Warhols? Zip on down to this Zoo and Zap your suspicions. Zebra. Zeppelin.

Hey, a lot of youse have been asking “what’s the big idea with the Mis Amigos Contest, mis amigos?” We have not forgotten you. Quite frankly, Mr Shankly, we were overwhelmed by the tremendous response. Have you ever been buried under an avalanche of remixes? Sure, it sounds fun, but that’s what killed Shep Pettibone. Anyway, really, thanks for the response, you guys.
Court, Zia, Pete, and Fatty have been going through all the mixes and it’s super tough to decide winners in a sitch like this, because they are pretty much all supercool. We should wind things down with this soon, though, so you can expect an announcement and a winner shortly.

Alright I know how to solve this problem of Autotune® that is tearing this great nation apart. How about we do some songs with autotune and some without? Go ahead, call me crazy, because this is the same jibber jabber that comes from the same part of my brain that believes Dallas and Guadalajara are both cities in Texico. Like Austin. Which as soon as we have the technology will be transplanted to Eastern Oregon where it belongs.

This is one of the greatest songs without autotune. Ever.

I think it was FatHead and I who saw this band open for I know not who (it was a long time ago). And they were without a doubt the most singular band I’ve ever seen. By the third song they had dudes yelling “fuck you” at them from the crowd. I guess I just don’t get it. We loved them.

Oh, I think they were opening for Malkmus. Maybe Dino jr.

I went to the beach with a couple of my old friends from high school. Time moves very slowly at the beach and there’s not much to do. Or rather time moves slowly anywhere when there’s not much to do. Yes that’s the Goonies rock. We used to call it Haystack Rock.
So of course we watched a couple movies: Team America and Spinal Tap. You could read my review of Team America but I’ll save you the time… TEAM AMERICA IS THE FUNNIEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.

Now, Spinal Tap on the other hand is not funny at all. It’s very serious. Very real. It also got me thinkin about my time spent in the industry. I did so much bitching about it when i was on Capitol Records but really, the first group of people there were amazing. And I miss it’s ability to get art into the world.

For example, these were people who got very good at their own little tweaker things. This can only really be done alone, without the immediate rewards of applause or even a big pat on the back. Generally in teenage bedrooms. Here are three examples from my alma mater:
