You might as well watch these videos while you are waiting for [that thing you are waiting for]. Roll up a fatty and play them all at once. I just did. (A lie.)
Saw something extraordinary last night. Saw the Dandy Warhols live.
Which is something I’ve been trying to do for about a year and a half now, ever since I ran into Pete Holmstrom at a book signing in Portland and was bowled over to find he read my books. Ever since then, Pete has been brandishing free tickets and backstage passes at me whenever the Dandys showed up in the UK, and every time I managed to find myself locked into some other engagement – convention in Italy, anniversary in a stone circle on the outer Hebrides, like that.

While the band was in DC this last time, Zia and Fathead sat down with Cozy for a little session. You can check tout the video HERE, if it pleases you.
It’s already Twenty Oh-Nine for our friends in Oz and NZ, and you guys in Greece and Spain and Italy and Germany and Holland and the Netherlands and France and Britain and Ireland, you’re coming up before you know it. Well, before we know it. We’re in Chicago tonight for one of our old fashioned Dandy Warhols New Years Parties, like how we cooked ’em up back in the 1900s. I bet you can still get tickets if you click these words with you mouse deal.
Everyone else, thanks for tagging along on our quest to Beat The World in 2008. We’ve got some pretty big deals up our wrists for Oh Nine. Hope you can come with us.
Chicago’s one classy burg, see? It was a no brainer to say where we were gonna throw down our New Years spats. Say, Mac, what’s the word in the Windy City — lay it on me straight, pops! What’s the vapor on the lips of all those classy dames? The Dandy Warhols laying out 2008 on a slab, smuggle in 2009 on the sly. Two and one half hours of Dandy Warhol greats at the Metro . That’s a pretty hot ticket! It fell off a truck, you can’t prove nothin’ copper! Now listen here, this ain’t not flophouse shindig, see? Naw, they don’t call ’em “dandys” for nothin’. They’re real fancy pants, see? And you better be too! Slick your hair back, get those shoes shined, wear somethin’ extra formal so’s you don’t embarrass yer ma.
Are ya listenin’ to me, kid? You got rhubarb in your ears? This is the real deal, I’m tellin’ ya! VIP seats , fancy hooch, gen-u-ine artwork for to prove you was there. it’s like ya croaked and woke up a god damned Rockefeller! And how!
Yeah, we had a great time down under, as usual. You are all too much fun. Fatigue…uhhh.
Hey, we have some pics from this and our last tour. Well, you have them up, on Flickr, but we’re culling together some of our favorites. Check that out.

Also, we have some more cool videos for you to check out. Very soon on that.
