Time for a beta Andrew WK thread, I think.
Today is apparently the Japanese release date for AWK's new album "Close Calls With Brick Walls". I've been looking on soulseek for a leaked copy, but no luck so far.
I put a bunch of Andrew WK rarities and new stuff up in the gmail account a while back, too.
Respect the WK.
Fuck yeah!
top name for the album...
sweet.
best message ever.
Downloading something that might be 6 new AWK songs now. Stay tuned....
i've got copies of various things from various sources, qualitys mixed.
assuming the full version will be online by the end of the week.
might wait for the korean version, which is spose to have 4 more tracks then the japanese one.
fuck yeah! new stuff! low quality, but who cares?
I'm gonna put it up in the gmail account before I even listen to the rest, because I love you all as much as Andrew WK does.

RAISING THE BAR!
been trying to find this on soulseek and having no luck.
I don't think this has been posted before.
I went to his club in NY recently - Santa's thingo/aka 100 Lafayette on L.E.S. Was fun - there were all sorts of dumb motivational messages stuck to the walls on fluro paper. They had a KICKASS PA, and N.E.R.D played, and the vodka drinks were free and Kanye was there! One of Kanye's minders saw me carrying 4 drinks through the crowd and said ''damn, I ain't never seen that shit before''.
Was just having a look at AWK's wikipedia entry and saw this-
Has anyone heard anything about this? That's all kinds of wrong if it's true.
There's a few theories about the US release issue, though common theory is that island records still holds the rights and he can't break the contract.
Makes more sense than that one, since CCWBW got a US vinyl release?
It says the above on his website, too. Apparently, he's forbidden from releasing CDs but not vinyl. Spreading weird misinformation about himself seems to be one of WK's favourite hobbies, though.
On a positive note, some nice footage of AWK playing with the Caulder Quartet here
this is GOLD!!
This story wasn't appreciated enough.
That Kanye. Always has to use a tray.
LINDA LINDA,
LINDA LINDA LINDA!
YOU ARE STRONG LIKE A RAT
AND I WILL CATCH YOU LIKE A CAT
AND I WILL SAT YOUR NAME UNTIL THE DAY I DIE!
LINDA LINDA,
LINDA LINDA LINDA!!
that album is sooooo good.
i wonder if lucyd has spent this morning changing her real name to Linda...
MP3 of newish AWK song Young Lord (KA Version) available from The Wire of all places. Highbrow! (Sounds weird as shit.)
Mmm, the J-Pop album is half ordinary and half ABSOLUTE BALLS OUT GENIUS.
Giroppon is just amazing. Po-po-po-po-po-po-po-po!!! Po-po-po-po-po-po-po-po-po-po-po!!!
PO!
