If you are thinking of ordering some fine Dandys merch this holiday season (like this fun/funny Xmas sweater shirt from 2011), take note: the deadline for U.S. orders to be delivered before the Christmas holiday is Friday, December 14th.
And, as the merchandise office will be closed December 21-January 7, all orders placed during that period will not be processed and filled until after the office opens in the New Year.
A whole lotta youse guys failed miserably my test to take the day off and have done your best imitation of a clamor monster (muppet??) for FREE Christmas songs – even though, honestly, you should have these already, what’d ya just delete the files every year, what’s wrong with you??
The popular tune “Little Drummer Boy” (about state-run drum circles, which is a thing I’m sure they will do some sketch about on “Portlandia”, now that I gave ’em the idea) is from 1994, and this “Silent Night” tune (a song about murdering Santas and naked ladies, if Google image search is to be believed) we did from all the way back in 2011, before weed was legal in Washington state. Download these tunes for zero dollars as xmas.dandywarhols.com. Send so to your friends! SO EASY TO GIVE!
The Dandy Warhols figured seventeen years between Christmas singles was enough, so we’ve put together this all-new recording of the most-holy of Christmas carols, “Silent Night.” We’re offering this song, along with our classic “Little Drummer Boy,” free as our gift to you. Go to xmas.dandywarhols.com for the details on how to download this very special digital single.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from all of us in Dandy Warholand.
