I was expecting more too. Andrew WK is suprisingly deep, the Onion once said he wasn't rock's messiah, but probably its best camp counselor. I keep checking for tour dates, but I haven't seen anything except for some solo shows that are really hard to get into in a long time.

I don't think there's another artist going right now who straddles this large a gulf between how smart they are in person and how aggressiveley dumb their art is.

MTV should put his stint on "Your Friend, Andrew WK" on DVD, to keep me from having to watch each episode in a 4th generation VHS rip on YouTube.

@Ned Raggett: I listened to brief snippets (the article on Sightings in last month's Wire was offered to me) but wasn't impressed.

After reading this article, I thought "Wow. That was much shorter than I thougt it would be."

Now I know why.

@unperson: I gotta cosign.

(That said, the Sightings album he produced last year -- GREAT stuff. The band's best yet, and the cover of Scott Walker's "The Electrician" = unexpected, very well done.)

WK usually comes across as a hair-metal douchebag leftover from the 80's but he's actually a pretty smart guy with strong roots in the underground.

The part about Tom Smith's underwear was the best.

The idea of him as The Great Kat's drummer fills me with more pleasure than his own music has ever given me.
