Damn straight, God. You know what time it is! I started this thread, way back when, because I'm naturally shy and didn't think oldbies would like a newbie like me asking dumb questions. I also thought it would be great to have basic questions about the band organized into one thread. I was sad when this thread got buried. Thank goodness for the revival! Viva el thread!
Fo' Shiz. Some people are not as patient in slowly discovering information as I am. It would be cool to have a thread just full of commonly asked qns.
Laura Hamlett: Explain “Hello My Treacherous Friend.”
Damian Kulash: That’s probably the oldest song on the record; it was written several years ago. I was living in Portland and it was about two friends of mine who had screwed me in really annoying ways…that, mixed with that weird, sort of surreal excitement that you get when you move to a new city and don’t really know anything about it. The smallest things take on this unrealistic significance. Walking around downtown, some particular restaurant or—in Portland, there’s these really gigantic rose bushes that have roses the size of softballs—just the strange significance of these otherwise meaningless things because I was sort of resituating myself. The whole spiders thing is about how my girlfriend had found a spider in my house and refused to kill it. She later claimed, “I told it to leave and it just didn’t.” Surprisingly, I had a nest of spiders in my room for the rest of the summer, which I always blamed on her. Whenever I’d get mad about them, she told me I wasn’t allowed to be mad because they were our children.
i started rereading this thread and the one about what did tim look like with hair made me laugh.
so just for everyone's viewing pleasure, i'm going to open up my secret stash of OK GO WEIRD HAIR PHOTOS!! AAAHHHH!!
tim WITH hair:
dan WITHOUT ANY hair:
damian looking awfully vanilla ice:
and looking pretty emo with his short dyed black hair:
...and earrings....
just sharing the wealth
dont have any pictures of new andy at all (like, literally at all lol) but plenty o' pics of mr. duncan, although im not sure how many of you would be interested in those if you've only been around since andy version 2.0...
I must say that my world is upside down. Damian with an earing???Emo hair??Tim with hair??wow...far too much Plus, I think Damian already told about track 14 didn't he?He said that it was his girlfriend (now wife) sleeping. I tried to get that track since it's not on the CD here, but i can't listen to anything... Could somebody post that music for me to check out please?
Trust me, it's not even worth listening to, really. It's kind of interesting, but there's no music or anything.
That's all the band will say publicly about the track, but they also won't tell *why* they put it on there. That's what everyone means by the "mystery" of it. He says it's operating in a way that would stop if everyone knew. Some of us found out why, but I promise it's nothing exciting.

Now i'm so curious!Can you tell me why they put it on the record?the mystery?
I can't, sorry, they REALLY don't want too many people to know and I'm not allowed to tell. If it helps, when I found out, I kind of laughed at myself for thinking it would be exciting.
ok no problem but i'm still curious I've been wondering about something...I've noticed that Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Jorge, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore 10th person in this blog. Who are the other 9?The members of the band?
Ohh. Most of them are just people from the older boards. This one is pretty new, there were two or three message boards before this and people just moved over here. Damian joined, but didn't post anything. He and Tim used to post on the other ones.
too bad they don't check this or write, cause i think that Damian's a terrific writer!i sent his articles to my friends and they laughed they're guts off
Comments
