single spin
Whether they're petroleum-based or digital downloads, singles remain pop's most fascinating format. Twice a week in Single Spin, a singles-focused twist on Second Spin, we'll take a look at a song, sound, scene, or star that we think deserves more than two lines and a Rapidshare link—whether it's CMT country, underground dance, unfriendly noise, or anything else served up one tune at a time. Today we listen to the latest grim banger from a Philadelphia hip-hop institution, a decidedly less grim groove from not-so-sunny London, a music critic delivering a mournful techno remix, and something totally, unexpectedly, ridiculously astounding: Andrew WK's new mash note to a TV roundtable legend (!), which comes complete with MP3 so you can download and boggle along.

pleasant surprises
Guys, not to get all hard-partying fanboy on you, but (OMG!!!1!) did you know that this month The Wire asked world's-greatest-human Andrew WK to sit down for their "Invisible Jukebox," the long-running feature where interviewer plays interviewee a bunch of records? And did you know that the magazine's Web site now features the unedited, nine-page transcript of said "Jukebox" interview with noise bro Mr. Marc Masters? (I did not. Until now.)

close calls with premature nostalgia
This mention of a recent Andrew WK show where Mssr. Wilkes-Krier "hunched over a piano hugging stage left [and] sprinted through a half-hour of newly penned songs and covers punctuated by the occasional bout of free-form ivory pummeling" before he "sat down and tore through I Get Wet'" for an encore reminded me of how awesome this all-natural ode to party-induced perspiration (or less family-friendly secretions) remains after six years. Not particularly good for writer's block, though, as it tends to reduce me to grunts, flailing orangutan-esque arm gestures, and the occasional adjective like "awesome." At least that's two syllables. [Vulture / YouTube]

So after a lengthy delay, the third album by white T-shirt-wearer/motivational speaker/artist whose show in Philadelphia a few years back resulted in my only bone-dislocation ever Andrew WK is out in the States today, and what with today being maybe the second-slowest-news-day of my entire tenure writing this site, I figured passing along this info would at least brighten the day of one member of the Idolator faithful, if not more. Also, relistening to "Not Going To Bed" is seriously making me rethink my priorities, since there have been multiple occasions this week alone when I have, in fact, fallen asleep watching cable. Maybe that means it's time for me to go out there, seize the day, and dislocate my other shoulder!

Videodrone: Andrew WK Owns A Button-Down Shirt
You may not have recognized him without a nosebleed, but that man adding piano accompaniment to Bonnie "Prince" Billy's Late Night With Conan O'Brien performance last night was our favorite hard-partying keyboard virtuoso, Andrew WK. Seriously, it's criminal that Close Calls With Brick Walls, Andrew's third full-length, isn't available in the States yet; it's filled with over-the-top anthems that will smack a big goofy grin onto your tired, worn face.
