Day Question Mark

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on . Posted in Courtney, The Dandy Warhols.

Day ?

Yesterday was spent in bed recovering right up til the gig. Which was awesome. I got some real sleep last night but am still very tired. Another 10 hour night should fix it.

Well this isn’t a real Tasmanian devil but it does look quite lifelike, wouldn’t you say? We’re flying back to Melbourne today for the Parklife show tomorrow. Also I have a book reading/signing at a club called Cherry. I think its tonite at 6pm ish.

I did not buy this because of the author’s amazing name. I did not buy it because it was the only book on the entire rack NOT about more fuggin sexy vampires. Nope, I bought it because it has basically the same plot as Mike Allred’s “Red Rocket Seven”, which, next to “Micronauts”, is my favorite comic book of all time. I’ll letcha know how it goes.

Bye bye Tazzi. That was really really fun.

Day Six: In Hobart

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on . Posted in Courtney, The Dandy Warhols.

Day 6
My first hangover headache of the tour. Coincidentally, I seem to have lost an entire bottle of Advil. I’ll have to do yoga to get my head back on straight. Gonna have a big oyster day.

Barilla Bay oysters. The best in the known world.

Took a tour of the as yet unfinished museum at Morilla. Got the hardhat on and bossed some people around. You know, the usual. I don’t know what it’s going to be called, but if you Google “Hobart” and “Morilla museum” some interesting stuff should come up.

I’m bartending a small martini party in my hotel room. A lot of Seals and Crofts, Chicago, Earth Wind and Fire, Christopher Cross, you know the drill. And yes, those are more oysters.

Slate and Foam

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on . Posted in Courtney, The Dandy Warhols.

Well it’s obvious that we’re in the last city on earth before Antarctica.  You see how they can’t even afford whole cucumbers here?  They have to just make do with cucumber foam. Like they have one for the whole island and they just pass it around and everyone gets to us a little of its essence. And you see that plate?  It’s just a slate tile probably leftover from when they remodeled the fireplace or bathroom.

It’s a hard life here but you know what? It makes me respect these people even more.

When I drink bottled water I don’t really know what to look for so I just go for the name brand.

And we’re back…

Day 5.

This is my brave crew who are off to Tasmania with me now.

I happened to meet Gordon Ramsey’s head chef (Melbourne) and he’s meeting us at the Hobart restaurant he used to work at.

We may have to fight off Tasmanian devils and that crazy kind of bird that eats sheep and can break into cars, but if you look closely at each of these faces you’ll know that we will succeed.  Each of us has stashed a 9 year old bottle of Bordeaux wine for this occasion so we’re fighting for more than just our lives here, we’re fighting for our religion.

Brisbane, Real Live

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on . Posted in Courtney, The Dandy Warhols.

This is exactly what our show felt like. Or, well, that’s what I think now.  I hope the performance/execution was ok, ’cause it was broadcast live across Australia.   If I tried to describe the difference of REAL live recordings and “live” records I can only say that if you’ve only bought “live”records then you’ve probably never heard a real live recording.

Well it is what it is. Can’t wait to hear it.

Kinda.

Zealous Day 2

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on . Posted in Courtney, The Dandy Warhols.

Day 2.

This family is up and in the hot tub by 7 am.  Gotta respect the amount of zeal that must take.

More Brisbane cityscape.

Midnight juggernauts. They’re really good live.

Dan Black is amazing. Whoa.

By the way, TESSERACT turned out to be a very good book. A number of modern fiction cliches but this guy has such a strong and interesting “thing” that they seem intrinsic to the whole trip. Really good. And way more depth than the beginning had indicated. Definitely read it.
Bravo, dude.

Again Hotel Life Again

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on . Posted in Courtney, The Dandy Warhols.

Day 1.
I call this one “again hotel life again”.

The two things that make this really mean something to me are the Grateful Dead shirt and the Star Wars pillowcase.  I’ve carried that fucker around for years. Through airports.   Across continents.  It helps me sleep.

Then, of course, perfectly three  – or more likely four (but definitely not five) – star stylings are a hugely repetitive part of my life too.  Not only of my life but of all touring rock bands who are good enough to achieve international travel and accommodations paid for by the promoter.

Nice.

I think I’m going through a phase in my life right now where I’m really appreciating how cool all the little details are and not really sweating too much of the negative shit.   If it persists til the end of this tour I’m pretty sure I will not be bummed…. But then again I’m pretty drunk right now.

The Tesseract

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on . Posted in Courtney.

Ok, I’m on my way to Australia and this is my book. So far its frustratingly over-descriptive and way too self-consciously cool…. but I must add that at least it actually IS cool, enough.  Cool in an exotic foreign poverty kind of way. Oooh. Deep.

By the time I get to Australia I’ll be long since done and will letcha know if its worth the fourteen bucks and/or the time it took to read it instead of something else.
