You will be pleased to know that we have selected the winner of our Mis Amigos Remix Contest – make way for Luc, who will receive a one-time pressing on Acetate of his mix signed by the band.

And hey, thanks to everyone who sent in their remix – you guys did a great job, so much so we really had our work cut-out for us in selecting a winner. We want everyone to hear your cool tune – if you haven’t done so, or if you have any other remix or mash-up you want to to hear, share it on Soundcloud. Thanks again, guys.

Stem Cells with Dr. Howard Pryor

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on 16 Mar 2009. Posted in Courtney.

In a rather interesting and often arresting book called “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” the author states that the chickens in these horrible modern style chicken farms, which are of course often the subject of urban myth, are genetically identical. Well it just so happens that one huge benefit of being in The Dandy Warhols is that some of the brightest minds on earth are big fans who have become great friends. So I went ahead and emailed Dr. Howard Pryor who leads a lab of the leading stem cell researchers on earth right now.

You might know his work because of South Park’s “Eek-a-penis.”

Yup, they’re the ones who grew a human ear on the back of a mouse.

Anyhoo, I emailed him this:

Old Monkey Wiring

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on 12 Mar 2009. Posted in Courtney.

I watched the Blazers lose.

I went to the game and at the end I felt like it was me too who had lost.

Why?

That’s crazy. I could have just as well rooted for Dallas. I have about as much in common with Dirk Nowitzki as I do with any of the Portland Trail Blazers. Am I the only one who wonders why I put myself through the emotional trauma of going to a basketball game? When “we” got posession with thirty-ish seconds left I got an adrenaline rush that nearly stopped my heart. It couldn’t have been worse if they had passed ME the ball.

So dumb. It’s all that old monkey wiring still hangin around inside our poor old monkey brains. Weird.

Oh. Also, the plot thickens:

Tafelmusik

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on 10 Mar 2009. Posted in Courtney.

One of the only baroque records that I truly love is a collection of tafelmusik by Johann Heinrich Schmeltzer. Back in those days the very wealthy and powerful would hire their favorite composer to make music to dine to. Thus tablemusic became a genre.

Recently we have begun recording some very cool music that I’m hoping will become an album of perfect modern tafelmusik. Somebody’s gotta do it. We have a lot of dinner parties so we’ll be able to take it for a lot of test runs. Fun. As we go, I’ll put little thirty second bits of it up that FatHead records live on his laptop microphone.

Leave It To Anton

Written by Courtney Taylor-Taylor on 09 Mar 2009. Posted in Courtney.

Oh my gosh Anton’s new stuff has fat beats. He just sent me about half a dozen tracks and it’s amazing.
I’ll ask him if I can put a little bit of it up on here.

There’s one particular track that I think might be the coolest one that any of us or our friends has ever made.

He sings really cool on this stuff too.

Jeez. Really some unbelievably cool beats here. Damn. Leave it to Anton.
