Zia and Kirk ride again.
I guess our debut gig of 5 country covers was good enough to get us a follow up gig.
This time we’ll be performing two songs by John Lennon and one by Jim Morrison.
Come down to Eastend tomorrow night (tuesday) to find out which ones.
Peace.

I come to the Oddy today (always a big mistake) and the place is torn up because of some dumb remodeling. Because we live underwater in the Northwest, everything everywhere is damp all the time. That’s great for you skin, but pretty awful for carpets. When we had that flood in the Big Room (!!) it was decided to rip up the carpet in the Grey Room and take care of the water seepage-slash-mold problem there. BORING. Thor is in there right now, hammering something. So you can see where recording would be prohibited just now. The band is rehearsing, though. Right now. “Godless.” The thing I am most displeased about is the coffee today. It is pretty weak.
Snippets:
ITEM. Aren’t you excited about these big Italian Christmas shows? I am! (Not sarcastic!) I will be working during the shows – showing movies with Scotty – but you will need a ticket to get in. For Seattle, go here, and for the PDX shows, go here. I really want to see 1776 on the 13th. I just did the art for their new album and I haven’t even seen them play live yet, that’s how dumb I am.
ITEM. A reminder about the Beat The World Guild Guitar Contest. This contest ends January 5th, so you had better go to the BTW site and sign up. Plus, Elliott told me last night that the guitar being given away is the same model Pete is using in the “I Dreamt Of Yes” video. Trivia!
ITEM. Court thought you should see the juxtaposition of Logan Lynn’s video “Bottom Your Way To The Top” on the Spike-TV site.
Be good.

Hey, remember that Dandys themed Pedalpalooza bike ride that Fatty and Zia took part in last June? Well, the organizers of that ride are doing it again next week before our “Natale Italiano” shows in Portland, December 12 and 13th. Rides originate in SE at Col Summers Park and end up on Mississippi in North, not too far from Wonder Ballroom. You should go, because you like fun things.
Photographic evidence of the last occurrence:

Here are the first two tracks from my favorite record. This group is called The Whole Noyse. They’re from San Francisco. I came across this a couple years ago and it’s been topping the charts in my house and computer since the day I got it. I have also been trying to get them to play on our next record. Not sure where that stands. Their record is called Lo Splendore d’Italia. I have a feeling it will get a lot more airplay at our upcoming Italian themed Xmas shows. Fun.

(2008) How so many funny gags can equal such a tedious movie is something I hope I never actually find out. |

(1999) If you’re really in the mood for this kind of thing let me reassure you its one of the dumbest. |

To all Holiday Party goers:
I’m DJing a party for Portland Art Museum members but regular folks can go too for only $10 (which includes snacks and drinks).
Sounds like a pretty good time!
cheers,

And if you look over to your right (on the webpage, not in real life) you can listen to/download “Little Drummer Boy” via the widget and listen to it at least three or four times. Are you even too lazy to look to the right? Is that what you are telling me? Fine, download it here.

Howdy folks,
Some friends of mine, Kurt Eisenlohr and Meme Medici are throwing a party to raise awareness about a potentially amazing village in Italy soon to be alternative european utopia.
Properties are going for as little at $10,00, with 2 bdrm houses on them! Could be great.
Anyway, I’ve been asked to sing a few of the songs I do on Mondays at Karaoke From Hell, Kirk (guitar player from KFH) will be joining me on acoustic guitar.
Another cool thing about this event is that label mates 1776 will be playing as well. I gonna watch those guys rock, get my fortune told and then sing a few country covers. Oh and it’s only $6. (the price on the flyer is wrong). See you See you tonight at Rotture/Branx (315 SE 3rd)!

Hey it looks like Beat The World is on fire, just blatantly giving things away now. Like Logan Lynn parties and free music and guitars and, wait what? Guitars?
Since I’m prone to using my own flowery languange to augment and that usually end up getting us into trouble with contest and whatevers, I’ll copy and paste what Ryan, our label manager, wrote at beattheworld.com:
Beat The World Records is excited to announce that we are partnering with Guild Guitars to offer a dynamite guitar giveaway contest to fans of Beat The World Records and our artists.
The best part is that everyone who enters will receive a Beat The World Records Compilation EP (Digital Format), featuring one song from each of our artists, including The Dandy Warhols, The Upsidedown, Logan Lynn, Spindrift, and 1776!
One (1) grand prize winner will receive a new Guild® GAD-JF3012 acoustic guitar, as featured in the photo. This guitar regularly retails for approximately: $1,799.99 (USD).
Ten (10) other winners will receive a Beat The World Records Gift Pack, featuring one digital format record from each of our artists
To enter the contest, you must simply click on the “Enter Now” button below and submit a valid email address. Each entrant/person may only enter the contest once. Everyone who enters the contest will instantly be given access to download the Beat The World Compilation EP (Apple Lossless Digital Format) and will be entered into the drawing for the grand prize: a Guild® GAD-JF3012 acoustic guitar; and for the Beat The World Records Gift Pack .
The contest is open for entries through January 5th, 2010. The contest winners will be drawn at random by a Beat The World Records employee. Employees and associates of Beat The World Records, The Dandys Warhols, and any affiliates will not be eligible for entry.
I wonder if I can get fired and then shunned from the group in order to win this guitar. I bet I will just for making this joke.
Our label mate Logan Lynn is receiving significant ink ‘n pixels about his new record From Pillar to Post so we thought we would throw Logan an old fashioned Dandys-style listening party this Sunday night. Hell yeah. And if you’re in Portland you can come to Logan’s party for freezies. After sufficient digestion of Logan’s awesome new disc, Rescue, the famous DJ who shares the same DNA as Zia because she is Zia, will be spinning tunes on what she calls a turntable, because that’s what DJs do. This party will have food stuff and drink stuff, and probably someone will attempt to take their clothes off. Then what? I don’t know, probably something “adult.” (This party is twenty-one and over, but really if you’re under twenty-one, stop trying to grow up so fast and enjoy being so adorably young.)
Here are the details in the popular un-Gothman-rambling prose version:
