(1967) This movie is so totally fuggin cool that I didnt really mind the little bit of bad acting and editing which included some real ham-fisting by Star Trek’s very own Dr Roger Corby whose name it took me going to sleep and waking up to fully recall without any help from imdb. |

Thought this photo was a funny little book review in and of itself.
The book sucks primarily because every character in it is a real piece of shit. Like an Altman film but somehow Altman could make that work for me. Or at least he did in “Nashville”. Not “Shortcuts” though. But that’s a whole different section on the website.

This message is for peoples in Portland only. If you don’t live in Portland, then go look at this.
So it’s just us guys here, right? Seems that tonight, on that most infamous block of SW3rd between Burnside and Ankney, we have a couple of things going on you should be made aware of.
Uno: At Dante’s (1 SW 3rd/$10/21+) tonight, Courtney and Zia will be taking part in Walt Curtis Birthday Party benefit. Who is Walt Curtis? Walt is is renown poet, author and artist, who most famously wrote a book you may have heard of called Mala Noche, which was, in turn, adapted into a motion picture by our friend, filmmaker Gus Van Sant. Well, a couple months ago, Walt lost everything he owned – all his books, all his art, everything – in a fire. Events taking place in Portland this week were set up to help Walt get back on his feet. Tonight is night two of the benefit, Walt’s Birthday Party at Dante’s, where will will find acts including Zia performing an acoustic set with her side project Brush Prairie, and Courtney will be reading his favorite Walt Curtis poem. This event is scheduled to run from 8pm-1am.
Dos: Literally across the street at Berbati’s Pan (231 SW Ankeny/$8/All Ages), Pete International Airport will be making its official debut, playing with the bands The Pharmacy, Cheap Flight, and The Shivas. Plucky says PIA will be going on at eleven.
(I guess ‘they’ will let you walk back and forth all night, right? They used to let you, right. Or am I imagining things?)
Another thing: if you’re in the Pearl late this afternoon, stop by Jinx (232 NW 12) for happy hour. Zia will be spinning.
Aaaaaand: If you wanna go to Rontoms (600 E Burnside) on July 4th for 1776, Logan Lynn, and The Hugs, you will be rewarded with a real great time.
Try not to blow your hands off over the weekend.

Taken from a Taylor-Taylor interview in Australian ZOO Weekly, conducted by Lachlan Williams. Do I have a link to the entire interview? No!
What would you recommend we drink to accompany the different Dandys albums?
Yes. I’m going to say the first record is Tanqueray and tonic with a lime. Come Down is really Jager with a beer back. It’s thick and foggy in your head. It’s a young man’s drink. Whiskey and soda, of course, is Thirteen Tales. Courvoisier on the rocks for Monkey House.Great! What the hell is Courvoisier?
Courvoisier XO – it’s a cognac that very rich hip-hop guys drink. Y’know, on second thoughts, I think Come Down is Chartreusee in the winter, or a Pims cup if you listen to it in the summer. Odditorium is definitely French wine, and then you can move straight to port – actually, I think Earth to the Dandy Warhols is more like that. Odditorium, there’s a definite New York thing to that. I think it’s tequila with a Rolling Rock beer back. It’s a very New-Yorky beer. Hey, I should put this online to go with our Capitol Years 1995-2007 release.
And so we did.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) Being quite familiar with Gilliam’s progression I feel I can safely say that this visual extravaganza was not made one iota more confusing by the untimely passing of that wonderful Heath Ledger than it otherwise wouldve been. |
 |
(2009) Did a good job of making me real uncomfortable for an hour and forty-four minutes and I did laugh but only until they’d bring in the toothless indie acoustic rock songs for the Starbucks thirty-something viewers and that, of course, would totally kill my buzz. |

It’s been one hell of a Junuary here in Portland but the weather for the 21st looks promising. More sun showing than clouds at least. So let’s get together and travel down The Dandy’s memory lane by bike. Last year was a total hoot and we’ve made some lasting friendships with some of the folks we met on that ride. I’m expecting this year’s to be bigger and better! So get on your bikes and ride!
As posted by the bike ride organizers:
WHAT: Dandy Warhols Bike Ride and Karaoke
WHEN: June 21, 5:30 p.m.
WHERE: Ladd’s Addition Traffic Circle (SE 16th and SE Harrison)
