no apologies necessary! and i strongly disagree; exploratory and groove-tastic in true dandy form. great track, amazing album; commencing (in)appropriate head-nodding, booty-wiggling, and mouthing of lyrics.

Then you'll enjoy this one.

Guy complains to his doctor that has nonstop gas and whenever he passes it, it makes an awful racket. "Let's hear it," sez the doctor. The guy obliges and a deafening "HONDA" fills the air. Smells pretty bad, too. The doctor ponders this a moment and asks, "Are you by any chance an absinthe drinker?" "Why, I am," sez the guy, "How did you know?"

"Because," the doctor replies, "Absinthe makes the fart go HONDA..."

We're here all week, folks, Shows at 7 and 9...

The piano player on this album leads a pretty upright life - far from grand, mind you.

It took me a while to place, but the bass line sure reminds of REM's "Bang, Bang, Blame" (or whatever it's called).  Anyone else?

Thank you for participating in the daily two-minute hate.  Your loyalty to the party is duly noted, and will not go unrewarded.

I really liked the short "heaven" set.  Pixies, Monkey Gone to Heaven and Dandy Warhols, Heavenly.

Every since I saw the documentary "Dig!" on Hulu, I've had a slightly greater appreciation for the DW and the whole process for striking out with the intent to become a band and record music. It's just a wildly difficult thing to achieve.

You know what the base line says to me?

Nan, just a nice song, somehow different to the recurrent Dandy Warhol style. Really like it.

Their tour bus was parked a block away from my place last week and I smirked because I haven't heard anything I like by them. Best thing I have heard so far from the Dandy's.. nothing too special though imo.

not their best song but a great GREAT band. every CD is unique, each song a different style. One of my favs all time. And as true Dandy fans know, at least 5 of their songs are featured on major tv commercials. the non Dandy fans just dont know it

The refrain has a lot of Bowie in it. Overall, a pretty likeable album and a nice little song.

13 tales is a much better disc. It's stronger all the way through.


i agree. i discovered the dandys a few years ago (via radio paradise.com i might add). "13 tales" is a flawless album, from start to finish. everything else (and i have it all) is hit and miss. don't take that as a slam all you dandy fans. i just wish this band would live up to their potential, or my expecations. whatever comes first.

I don't know. I saw these guys in Dallas at the Gypsy Tea Room and thought they put on a very good show. Then bought the album and thought it sadly lacking.

I know one can have beer goggles. Can one have beer ears?

it definitely is, combined (a la pop art) with the Stones' famous Sticky Fingers "zipper" cover:

Beneath the surface you can recognize a parody of various rock anthems. Does that make it more listenable in it's own right? Possibly not.

Check out the movie Dig! sometime. It really shows the full background of the Dandies. I actually really respect them a lot. We went to see them a couple years ago at the Fillmore and they played for 3 1/2 hours!
