He's dreamy - and not a little bit younger than me. I wonder if he'd like to be my personal life coach?

Or maybe my "personal life coach"?

Even though he's sorta cute here, he looks like the dude from Human League who just grew his hair out.

After last night, I like the guy, "blackouts sound like fun", but his music hasn't done a thing for me.  I'll try the classical stuff.

Out of context and without audio doesn't really do this justice.

One of the moments where I just went, "fuck it, I love this guy."

I just find it strange that AWK is so well known these days considering his noise/experimental roots, I mean, he was on the Labyrinths and Jokes comp put out by Hanson a decade ago.  He wasn't even indie, indies are pretty much trying to be rock stars, this stuff is much more marginal.
I remember being at a 25 Suaves show years ago and Pete from Bulb records going, "You gotta buy this, man, it's so good, I've only got 2 left", trying to get me to buy Party Til You Puke, next thing I knew AWK exploded, was on TV and everywhere, weird.

Not surprising that Andrew W.K. had nothing but good things to say about the Gathering of the Juggalos, as all artists that are invited to perform are in awe of the environment that Psychopathic Records has cultivated....

Yes. Clown makeup, wrestling and cheap sodee screams class.

AWK even had nice things to say about Karl Motherfucking Rove. I don't think he said that because he had respect for the suit he was wearing. Your reasoning is specious.
