Dates Added: December 9, 10, 11 – Portland

Can you believe that it’s October 11th and and we haven’t even talked about CHRISTMAS yet? What a sorry state of affairs. This empire is in shambles! I was in the stadium Fred Meyer the other day and they had all jack o’lanterns and witch wigs – not at all Christmassy! HERETICS!

Anyway, with the first irreverent paragraph completed, it’s time to announce the annual Dandy Warhols Christmas shows set to take place this year over three nights in early December. On Friday, December 9th and Saturday, December 10th, The Dandy Warhols will play the new Star Theater in NW Portland. These two shows are 21 and over. On Sunday, December 11, The Dandy Warhols will play an all-ages matinee at Doug Fir on East Burnside in Portland. Joy to the freakin’ world.

Tickets for STAR THEATER (21+) go on sale to the general public Friday, October 14th at 10am HERE.

Tickets for DOUG FIR (AA) go on sale to the general public Friday, October 14th at 10am HERE.

And While We’re Discussing the Ill-advised Topic of Politics…

And while we’re discussing the ill-advised topic of politics…

Here’s an animatic that my friend Dan made of a scene from my graphic novel. It’s about a German technonoise band that disappears in 1978 and the effect that politics had on them. And yes of course I tried to make it as much like Star Wars as I am capable but unfortunately it’s just not set in space.

He sent me this thing a few days ago and I think I’ve watched it like 400 times. To watch even a little part of this story live in real time at all gives me a huge amazing feeling that wasn’t expecting at all. It’s a dark and dreamy otherplace that I can go for a couple minutes at a time. Fuckin awesome. Listen to it on headphones.

About This Political Rally In The U.K. Playing “Boho”

Confusion sparks Primal Scream rant

A furious tirade launched against the Conservatives by rock band Primal Scream appears to have been sparked by confusion between two similar riffs.

The group issued an angry statement railing against the use of their music amid reports on Twitter that Home Secretary Theresa May left the stage to the strains of 1994 top ten hit Rocks.

Not only were the famously left-wing Scottish band upset at being associated with the “sick” party, they said, but lyrics about drug taking and prostitution hardly seemed appropriate.

However the party, which had initially appeared to confirm the song had been used, later insisted that in fact the track chosen was Bohemian Like You by the Dandy Warhols.

…more…


WTF? Where do I bitch about this? I’ll tear their fuggin heads off. Well maybe not but this happened to us in an Arkansas gubernatorial race and it makes me super angry. And then I wanna puke.

Why don’t these assholes have right-wing bands make them some right-wing music for their right-wing jerkoff politics? Oh, because right wing people aren’t creative, visionary or any fun to be around. Nor are they productive or even introspective about it. Wait, I live in Portland, Oregon….neither are left-wingers come to think of it.

Jesus, I tend to really dislike ANY people who take sides in politics. It is the single greatest contributor to getting nothing done. Fuck “politics”. What a joke. I give my charitable donations to people who get on a plane themselves and go to Haiti or Africa and help other people. Do you?  NEVER to a political machine. I like to get shit done. You do too.

Fuck, now I’m pissed off.

Wow I’m Bummed I Missed New York in the 70’s

Wow I’m bummed I Missed New York in the 70’s.

When I’d visit Pete there in the early 90’s it was a lot more like that than it is now. Perhaps if we go through another 15 years of recession/depression New York City might become that cool again. Who knows, but I do think the days of primered quarter-panels are numbered.

Pattern Recognition

Pattern Recognition (Wm Gibson)

I’m about halfway through this book and it’s rocking out super hard now. It really only took about 40 pages to get up out of the quagmire and start moving. It becomes int’l espionagey like all ny times bestsellers seem to but the difference here is William Gibson and the sheer size of his brain. Amazing. I’ve gotta say that what ben franklin was to inventing, this guy is to fiction.

The Dandy Warhols Version of the Mythbusters Theme Loves Almost Everyone

The new season of Discovery Channel’s popular Mythbusters is set to debut on September 28th with a new version of their theme song interpreted by your Dandy Warhols. I’ll try to get Court or Pete or someone to give a little insight on how this all came about. I think everyone is in the desert right now for that Dirty Hippy Hootenanny ’11.

Delta Omega

Well I’m flying again and this guy isn’t helping.  Neither is Delta.

When I was 19 I werked at a bar that hosted poetry nights.  Old guys would occasionally get onstage and start rattling off what they felt were hip phrases and cool reference points and god it was fuggin boring and I just wanted them to JUST SAY IT!  Whatever the hell it is that you mean, just say it.

That’s what this book is doing to me now.  It reads like a catalogue of hip reference points and sassy phrases that one must dig and grindones way through to find the storythread.   I’ve found it twice so far….I think.  But my head hurts.  I think this man needs an editor.

As for Delta, I have 3 hrs in this airport and as I’m flying alone and all day I spent the xtra dough for first class.  Can I get into the 1st class lounge? NO!  Wtf?  I can assure you if there is ever any terrorism or airrage associated with Delta I bet its got nothing to do with the U.S. Govt or this shitty consumer culture we’ve created and now must labor under or god putting OUR oil under THEIR desert.

NOPE its Delta.
