Monthly Archives: January 2010

On Friday, I ordered four releases by Andrew W.K. simultaneously, breaking my former record of Most Andrew W.K. Titles Ordered Simultaneously which stood strong at three. And though I did just want to gloat about my new personal best, I realized I could do so while reminding everyone about these (mostly) upcoming Andrew W.K. releases!

The Journal of Popular Noise (released)

Issues 13-15 (ft. AWK). AWK appeared on this spoken word zine last spring/summer, but it went under the radar. I’ll have my vinyl rips up for you when it arrives, but if you want to order, it was $18 with shipping to N. America.

Kiba (Releases Jan. 27)

I’d be content to pay ~$24 for a super rare Andrew W.K. sticker, so receiving the Kiba single and bonus DVD content from Andrew & Marty will be a blast!

I’m A Vagabond (releases Feb. 14)

There are too many reasons to buy this one! Not only is it limited to 500 copies, but it will be on a square 7! When I first saw the art for this single, I laughed, but when a friend mentioned that AWK was wearing colored contacts, I got real scared. I looked again, and it appears my friend was right. Why is Andrew wearing colored contacts? Why are these songs published on BSM records and not Steev Mike since two tracks will be on Mother of Mankind? This release looks to be a vital clue in the mystery of crediting Steev Mike on AWK releases.

Close Calls With Brick Walls/Mother of Mankind (Releases Feb. 23)

Available around the world from various retailers, but Amazon is now selling pre-orders for $16.99. I was lucky and snagged my pre-order for $14.99. I almost didn’t order this release because I’ve already purchased CCWBW twice (Japanese CD w/ DVD & American vinyl), but I wouldn’t have been able to break my AWK buying record without CCWBW/MoM. [Wait, maybe I should count my record at five instead of four due to the double release!?]

January is almost over and Kiba is almost here! Soon after, I’m a Vagabond will be released, and before we know it, well be able to have Close Calls With Brick Walls & Mother of Mankind blasting through our stereos. Prepare to party, pre-order what you want before it’s too late! And until then, party hard anyway!

Don’t ever stop the noise,
AmigoWK

“Andrew WK We Got A Groove” is BY FAR the top search in Google that leads You to us.  We’ve heard your call and so we are answering!

First thing I should do is apologize for the quality of the We Got A Groove track. Its source was not necessarily from an AWK fan, so let’s just say he was doing a BIG favor for us in the first place. Since beggars can’t be choosers this should at least get you through till next month when the track appears crystal clear on Mother of Mankind. Ironically Side B (Prophetic Visions Of The Coming End Times by The Riverboat Gamblers) is great quality and a great song! So for everyone that can’t wait till next month, ask yourself do I got the groove? We Got A Groove [Split].

AND

The Party Til You Puke EP is incredible. So we’re retiring the old AWKShare.com rips with NEW and IMPROVED high quality rips of the vinyl. You should all thank AmigoWK for this incredible rip. The difference between the two will become most obvious on the track I Want To Kill. It’s no longer in mono but in stereo! All this time you were listening to it in mono, ha! Plus, the whole album is in 320kbps!!!

Upon partying then puking to the vinyl of Party Til You Puke you’ll notice some of the tracks are a little bit different than the CD version. They’re basically chopped down in order for it to fit onto the vinyl. Hence the importance for collectors to have this digitally. We hope you enjoy these alternate versions!
