Sorry voor de ware overkill aan Dandy Warhols-nieuws deze dagen. Maar de aankondiging dat meneer Taylor-Taylor cs op 29 oktober het Melkwegpodium zullen bestijgen mag toch wel worden gemeld, naar wij dachten. En tussen neus en lippen kan ik vertellen dat niet alleen de single bijzonder appetijtelijk is. Het album is ook erg aangenaam… een voorproefje:

“By the end of the Great War The Dandy Warhols had progressed far beyond the traditional jug band sound. Zia had all but hung up the wash-tub bass in favour of her new invention which she called the synthesizer. The banjo was still there but now it was electrified through a flat microphone which Pete had wound tightly with copper wire and called his pick up, and in turn made it louder by what Fathead jokingly called Pete’s amp. Well, the name stuck and by the time such luminaries as Gene Vincent, Elvis Presley and BB King had heard this new Warhols sound they were calling it rock and roll. Dandy frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor would be quoted as saying, “I know it’s only rock and roll, but I think I like it.” I’m Bill Curtis and you’re listening to a piece of history…”
