He doesn't have to sell it; it's there for free! I'm not sure if the paradigm of self-indulgent artistic statement applies to someone who says "yes" to just about everything.

"Artistic statement" - yes. Never said it was self-indulgent.
Keith Jarrett? I'm still waiting for him to make a folk album on acoustic guitar, written and recorded in two days. That'll be KILLER.

You have to admire his continuing dedication to Partying Hard though, even in the face of a full Juggalo onslaught.

I saw him live last year, kind of awesome when he invited several hundred people up onstage to dance with him, leaving about ten people in the audience.

He looks like some kind of really bad Judy Garland impersonator in that cover and the name of the album (or collection of rarities, I guess) is called MOTHER of Mankind! Is AWK asserting the presence of the divine feminine within his own inner mythos?

In the early 1990's the Universal Group began a coordinated effort in film and especially pop music, in which they created their own robotic actors and performers, who's careers they could design and program from the start. Andrew WK (signed on in '97 or '98, officially launched in 2001) and Lady Gaga (signed on in '03 or '04, officially launched in 2008) are two artists with seemingly nothing in common, but in fact they are both constructed, hired figure-heads for a USA based effort of the occult society, most likely the Freemasons or the Illuminati.These group's aims are control and power and it uses music, movies and other pop culture media to influence and brain wash the youth population while they play out rituals designed to give them energy while they worship Lucifer. Andrew WK and Lady Gaga both proudly promote that they "come from" New York City, the city of Babylon and the home of the largest Illuminati conspiracy of the past 20 years: 9/11.

AWK was on Jarvis's show this week. I didn't find the music selection to be hugely inspiring and don't think Jarv is particularly good as a radio presenter but it's a pretty good interview with Andrew, if a little laid back. Starts at about 1:00.
― everything, Monday, 14 June 2010 23:37 (fourteen years ago) link
Actually the music was pretty good but Jarvis chats too much so the whole thing seems low-key.

FFS, NYC isn't New Babylon, Hollywood is New Babylon -- jeez the second-rate conspiracy theorists these days don't even know their Great White Brotherhoods from their Golden Dawns. Not to mention that the home of Freemasonry in America is either Boston or Washington D.C. (take your pick), and the "Illuminati" (if they exist) are decentralized, they don't have an HQ or whatever and if they did it would probably be in Europe.
Also, clearly AWK isn't a robot or mind-slave or whatever, he is a clone of Jesus Christ (one of two, the other being Steeve Mike), and Dick Clark is Melchizedek. This is all just so obvious...

still a completely bewildering cultural phenomenon to me (mr wk). what kind of weight do people give the steev mike thing? elaborate hoax? was wk a noise artist hired to be a manufactured artist by the studios or what? i still don't fucking get it. I think about this more than anyone cares to know.

(above post was meant to say: my kid watches DBD every chance HE gets. sorry I have had no sleep)
There's a theory that the "original" AWK is not the same guy that it is now, but I'm not sure if I believe it. There was a site that detailed all this that had some very convincing evidence, but it also had some weird ties into the Illuminati and junk like that, so I think a lot of it is your standard conspiracy stuff.
I'm guessing there's something weird going on with it all since it's effected things like the US release of Close Calls (4 years late) but I do thing AWK is purposely making things ambiguous and vague
