Okay, I was looking through the YouTubes looking for this old 120 Minutes interview (that maybe I only imagined??), when I stumbled upon this weird little video set to The Black Dog remix of “Get Off.” Trip.
Hey there, Dandy Girl/Boy. Is there something you have always wanted to know about Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia from Mister Courtney Taylor-Taylor but you can’t just call him up on the phone becuase he’s literally a stranger? Questions like “how did 13 Tales get its name,” or “did you think “Bohemian Like You” would buy you a big house?” That sort of thing. Or whatever you want. Who’s gonna stop you? Post your questions here, on our Facebook, or tweet @TheDandyWarhols with the tag #AskCTT all this weekend, and he’ll will answer the best ones via video presentations next week.
Yesterday we took a look at The Dandy Warhols on Conan O’Brien. Today we track back to Friday, November 3, 2000 (Peter’s birthday) for CBS’s Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn. Not too bad for a band who just got off a plane from Australia.
On November 30, 2000, The Dandy Warhols took time out from the third North American tour of the year to fly from Saskatchewan to New York City to make the first of two appearances on NBC’s Late Night with Conan O’Brien. It was their second national network appearance in a month, coming after the band played CBS’s The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn (remember??) on November 3rd [VIDEO LOST TO THE AGES??]
We’ve got a story coming up from Fathead about the song order of Thirteen Tales and how it got that way. Would it surprise you that at one time, “Country Leaver” was to open the record? It does, but it doesn’t really. I mean, it’s a great song. It’s one of my favorites. I never ever ask Courtney what his songs are about, because it should be open to your own interpretation (I guess), but I can guess what’s going on here. I feel like I’ve been in this situation way too many times in my life, on a plane armed only with dumb blind faith.

Depends on how many peeps and how tricky how much money you can spend etc. Slow cooked pork shoulder is easy and can go on crackers or be served with a friggin souffle.
Call K&L wines and get a load of ’96 Lanessan. It’s affordable and amazing. Our Dandy NYE champagne is Schoenheitz NV Cremant d’Alsace. Should be 13 bucks a bottle and is awesome.
I had a 1966 Cadillac Sedan Deville that I had bought just a little after we released Thirteen Tales From Urban Bohemia. It was huge. One of the longest cars ever made. 19 feet 8 inches if I remember right. It fit eight people easily. It had five ash trays. It was the most perfect car I ever owned.
For the Horse Pills video we decided to pile eight people into the car and basically have a raging party while I drove down I-5 and 405 in a circle around Portland. We turned the camera on and just passed it around the car taking turns filming. Looking back I’m thinking it might have been a bit dangerous but we were young and carefree. The video is a document of one of the best periods of my life. To me it works as an extension to the video for Bohemian Like You that was mainly filmed in my Rock Dorm apartment and my two favourite neighbourhood bars featuring most of my favourite people. It feels like one of those nights when we would all leave Slabtown and pile into my Caddy and head across town. It’s a great low budget DIY video that just works.
