I’m hardly much of a fan, but the Dandy Warhols to me are best known for this song, almost purely per the way it made them a bit of a household name from Veronica Mars

Well, that’s weird. This song has probably never been mentioned on DiS before and then twice in as many days!

let’s not forget that it’s a direct rip of a feeder song (of all things)

whole album is killer. Still miss them. Such a shame they could’nt sort their shit out.

Came here to post this. Not indie as in lads with guitars but properly indie in spirit. I was on a newsgroup he frequented when this happened. Pretty funny how it all blew up.

The People was just as big I reckon

Seen them in a venue so small I could kiss them if I wanted to.

Just about to post this bugger

Yes, it was very “early internet” wasn’t it? I remember the guy well.

Ha wow! Yeah it never soundtracked a break-up for me, but it’s such a fantastic, bleak song. It was a Lamacq ‘lost 45’ a couple of years back.

Listened to this album a lot for about a week. Then me and my girlfriend of 7 years split up, and now I can’t listen to it without it reminding me of being very sad. Still.

Annoying really, it’s probably still a good listen.

This album is fucking brilliant. Always got the CD close to the stereo.

That’s really ironic considering why the band split up
