Music Amused

...Earth is Dandy Again...

The new Dandy Warhols album just came out two days ago. I don't know what you all think, but I'm excited and have been looking forward to it all summer. "...Earth to the Dandy Warhols... is the band's eighth album, with the last one in 2005. So, it's been a few years since we've heard anything new from these guys (and gal).

If you aren't sure you know about the Dandy Warhols, you've probably heard one of their songs. With their name being a spin-off of the famed pop artist Andy Warhol, they too are eminent in modern pop culture. (Great for me! I love both of 'em!)

Anyways, the ones you are most likely to have run across is the song "We Used to be Friends" from their fourth album Welcome to the Monkey House in 2003. That song has been on shows such as The O.C. and Veronica Mars. But another track "Bohemian Like You" has been heard in many more places. I'd even say it's very likely their most known song (to date). You could have heard it way back when Buffy the Vampire Slayer was on. Or, you could have heard it in the movie "The Replacements", the show Numb3rs, and Six Feet Under. Oh yeah, I recall hearing it in "50 First Dates" with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, too.  

Look for them on the upcoming tribute album for The Cure, too! As far as shows go, they aren't going to be in my Steel City, unfortunately. (*pout*)

Check to see if they'll be visiting your city though, here. Hmmm, perhaps it might be time for a trip to Philly next month...like, say....around the 20th when they'll be playing a show there? Time will tell...
