Discography Drinkography

Written by sea gothman on . Posted in Courtney.

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.

Courtney’s Movie Reviews: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, I Love You Man

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on . Posted in Courtney, Movie Reviews.

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.

I Love You Man

(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.

Idiots Rule

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

I called two different places whose numbers were listed in the paper down here “if you would like to volunteer”.

The first one said they didn’t have anything for me and told me to ask local people if they knew anyone to ask.   The second told me that all of the cleanup jobs were paid positions hired by BP and I’d have to apply for one if I wanted to help. Wtf?!!!  No wonder there are maybe tens or hundreds of thousands of dying birds/fish/animals etc and maybe tens or dozens of people working to save them.

Anyhoo, they took my info and said if I was interested in helping out around an office they would give me a call.  I said “sure, do it”, but its been days and they seem to have blown me off.

Idiots rule.

Welcome to the sunny Gulf Coast. It is about 90 degrees and prolly above that in humidity. I’m gonna call a couple places and see if I can volunteer for some bird-scrubbing.

No Less Than Victory

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

I was told that this guy is a pulitzer prize winner then told that his dad was.  I didn’t bother googlefuckin around about it either way. I had a seven hour flight ahead of me so I went into Powell’s, opened it up and read “to the reader”.  Hooked.  This guy has a clear and powerful writing “voice”.  I’m now about fifty pages in and wouldn’t bother telling you about it if it wasn’t great.

This is apparently The 3rd in a trilogy of WWII novels so I’m entering near the end after Gen. Montgomery had fugged up his idiotic “operation market garden” (see “A Bridge Too Far”) and Gen Courtney Hodges (I just love that name) had taken the town of Aachen The war was at a winter stalemate with all of the Allied Forces waiting for spring to try and take Berlin.  Awesome.

Also I like the way this guy uses commas, ands, and run-on sentences.  A lot like what I do except that he’s really good at it.

CTT Movie Reviews: Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Spellbound

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on . Posted in Courtney, Movie Reviews.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

(2008)

Don’t let the lame-ass “Something-ing Someone” title fool you, this flick is only about twelve lines shy of being the perfect gutbusting break up comedy of all time.

Spellbound

(1945)

This film is awesome, and as per usual with this era, it starts out slow and clunky, but as per usual with Hitchcock, once it gets going it REALLY gets going.

CTT Movie Reviews: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, 5000 Fingers of Dr. T, Fantastic Mr. Fox

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on . Posted in Courtney, Movie Reviews.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

(1968)

Ian Fleming, Albert Broccoli, Roald Dahl, c’mon, there is no doubt in my mind that this is the most perfect example in its genre but just wait til the version comes out where I edit away the two songs that just don’t live up.

The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T.

(1953)

I guess I can see why Dr. Seuss hated the way this turned out but still it is a must-see and don’t forget to look for things that ended up in The Simpsons.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

(2009)

Oh okay, he really IS the fantastic Mr. Clooney.

Boy’s Life

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

This book is more or less a page-burner version of Lake Wobegon Days.


I wouldn’t mind if this guy just kept writing and writing on this story.  I most certainly would read and read, as long as the pages kept coming.  It has the languid, lazydays feel of all the greatest “growing up smalltown” novels (ie To Kill A Mockingbird, etc) but with a murder mystery woven in.

This brings up an extremely interesting character in the book who is incidentally a failed writer of just this sort of thing.  I’m not going to say more about it cuz I really hope you all find this book and read it.   With summer right around the corner I feel that this is “just the thing”.
