Ghosts of April Fools Past

There was this April Fools Popeye cartoon that I couldn’t find on YouTube. (And by couldn’t find I mean I didn’t actually look.) This was just like a normal Popeye cartoon – Popeye and Bluto are beating the garbage out of each other for no reason – except after Bluto dive bombs Popeye with a Spitfire or Popeye drops the Chrysler Building on Bluto, they shout out “April Fools!” Yeah, that makes it all better.  Oh, it’s all in good fun.

Anyway, I could not come up with a good enough prank (LAZY) to pull on youse guys, so here’s one of those videos we made while recording The Dandy Warhols Are Sound in 2002, which is as pranky like as we can get around here.

Union War

This is what I’ve been obsessively into lately.  This guy is a friend whose band has had us open for them on a couple Frenchy festivals.  This track is so exactly what I love.  It just kills me.

What You Missed, First Week Of February 2010

So I didn’t think about missing three days of actual work when my MacBook was out sick this week. No, I only really thought about what if the Apple people were to find my cache of Johnny Weir fan fiction. But now it’s Friday, my MacBook is home, and it’s time to catch up on things you have missed.

ITEM: Beat The World has a winner in the Guild Guitar contest, and that winner is Pat, from Huntsville, Alabama. Pat wins the Guild GAD-JF3012, like the one Pete played in the “Dreamt of Yes” video. Ten other winners received digital downloads. Which are great, because the computer plays them for you. Thanks to Guild Guitar, Ryan at Beat The World, and our guitar tech Elliott for all the back and forth.

ITEM: Last night I had a dream that Logan Lynn and I were BEST FRIENDS! It was pretty fun. Coincidentally, did I tell you that Logan has covered the Dandys’ 2003 hit “The Last High”? Say what? Yeah, it’s pretty great. You can buy the single at at loganlynnmusic.com.

ITEM: Courtney has a new review of Educating Rita, as well as a couple more flicks, on his movie review page.

ITEM: From the burying the lede department: Yes. We are recording a new record right now.

Good-bye!

Donate To The Haiti Earthquake Relief Effort

If you have not donated to help the cause in Haiti, you can do so by going to you local Starbucks across the U.S. and Canada. The Starbucks Foundation will join your support by donating one million dollars (U.S.) to the American Red Cross in support of this effort.

UPDATE:

Hey all

Lee here, Dandy’s Manager. Our booking agents organized this Starbucks Haiti Relief donation drive with proceeds to The Red Cross. There are many other charities doing good work as well if you want to donate but don’t have a Starbucks near you or for any reason have political concerns in donating to The Red Cross. For more info on charities that might better appeal to your ability to donate please check out http://www.charitywatch.org/

New Years Twenty Ten

If you’re like me, I’m so sorry. No, if you’re like me you have an affinity for New Years, like one-hundred times stronger than with The Christmas.  (Sacrilege.) Because no matter what, I’m always saying to myself “well, that was the worst year ever,” and for once I can just maybe look forward to something not so terrible.  And hey, I’m looking forward to people saying “Twenty-ten” – the thought of not having to hear “two-thousand-and-blah” ad infinitum, I’m pretty damned giddy about that.  Maybe I will even leave the Gothman Estate, go out and venture into the cloud of irresponsible drunkards one more time in observance of this turning of the decade.  Wouldn’t that be something?

Well, if there was any show that would bring out a zombie shut-in, the one cooked up for 31 DEC 09 would be it.

Rick Bain and the Genius Position
The Upsidedown
1776
DJs Rescue & Grassman

Give me a break.  The World Famous Kenton Club in North Portland will be packed.  Don’t dress like a bum, and maybe take it easy with the sauce.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.
