No, no, no. Nardwuar is the one who's in The Evaporators and constantly surprises the hell out of interviewees by knowing absurdly obscure and arcane trivia about their lives. Then he gives them presents.

i've always thought rock music was the soundtrack for a good time anyway.

also, i've defined it as "being pissed but having a good time anyway" or "feeling good about feeling bad."

awk? circus peanuts.

i like music to be a little more than the aural equivalent of air and sugar.

I dug out I Get Wet the other day for the first time in awhile and I can't stop listening to it. "Ready to Die" might be one of the best songs ever.

Andrew W.K. is not crap.

Capiche.

he does a good invisible jukebox in this month's issue of the wire.
i like the interviews i've read or heard & he seems like a cool guy.

didn't really get the music so much, but last week i heard a new track on air america that was based on some crazy pat buchanan quote from the mclaughlin report. think it was called "little cats' feet". stayed in my head for a couple days & made me want to check him out more "seriously".

found it!

the mclaughlin groove

Every song is about partying and parties are pretty much the only place I've ever heard his shit. It's also funny to see people get all drunk and riled up to this dude.

Andrew W.K. filmed a video at this dudes house who has a ramp in his front "yard" during a party. His house is literally in the middle of a field where they drill for oil. All the jack ass dudes were there and it was some good times.

And it's not Queensryche.

Not crap.
