awkcalderMotivational partier / nascent meteorologist Andrew WK just embarked on a short tour with the contemporary classicists the Calder Quartet, and he’s moved two of the shows (in Washington, D.C., and Toronto) from churches to other venues. Any other artist out there would just have moved the shows and been done with it, but Andrew explained his decision to move the shows in his inimitable way: More »

The Andrew WK-hosted Destroy Build Destroy debuts a week from tomorrow on the Cartoon Network, and in case you were wondering just what the title meant, here’s the show’s official description: “With host, Andrew W.K., two teams take turns destroying each other’s materials, then putting them back together, then destroying them again. Oh, and things blow up.” And the above trailer would seem to bear that out! Although I kept getting distracted by the stuff being destroyed by the commercial’s background music, which sounded like a certain song about desire-born Catholic guilt that appeared on one of my favorite albums of high school: More »

andrewwkIt’s a TV show about breaking stuff! Destroy Build Destroy, which debuts on Cartoon Network will allow two teams to destroy large things, then create new exciting structures from the rubble; the singer / motivational speaker / piano player / club mogul / etc. will then preside over a judging of the reconfigured items. And as a bonus, the winning team gets to then destroy the losers’ hard work… you know, for fun. If you’re a teenager (or you just look like one) in the LA area, you can be on the show! Perhaps if you lose you’ll get counseled by Andrew himself, a la Your Friend, Andrew W.K. More »

No. 80: Andrew WK, “McLaughlin Groove”

Who would have thought, back in March, that it would seem plausible to take down the right wing through mockery rather than righteous indignation? Andrew WK, of course. He took an exchange from The McLaughlin Group in which loudmouthed conservative talk-show-host John McLaughlin speculated on the possibility of John McCain’s accidental death (while misquoting Carl Sandburg and predicting that “the next man on the moon will be Chinese”) and turned it into an anthemic demonstration of how anything sounds true when it’s yelled loudly enough.
