Yep, it’s new and I am fast at getting it to you.

Until I actually hear the “1999 Versions” on the bonus CD it’s hard to know if they are alternative versions to the We Want Fun LP, or if they’re the same. Either way I have a little present for anyone wanting to wet their appetite for this 10 year release on the 28th. So in the spirit of rarities and demos here are six more “demos” from 1999. They are additional tracks or alternative versions to anything you would hear on the We Want Fun album. So don’t bypass them assuming you have them. They haven’t been heard or appeared anywhere else except here.

1. She Is Beautiful
2. Girls Own Juice
3. Really In Love
4. We’re Not Going To Get Old
5. Kicks and Bricks
6. I Love NYC

You’ll notice that the first two tracks are in a slightly different style. That’s because they’re most likely some of the earliest “Andrew W.K.” tracks to-date. The last four are a little more polished and more similar to what you’d hear on the We Want Fun album. As more info becomes available and as more tracks are compiled, I reserve the right to add songs to these 1999 Recording Sessions. But for now you can download what I have so far, here: 1999-00-00-1999 Recording Sessions

Recently, a lot more light has been shed on early “Andrew W.K.” and Andrew Wilkes-Krier music. Potentially, there is a lot more music out there than I had previously estimated. Very exciting times to be a hardcore AWK fan to say the least.  More info on that will eventually come forward, but only when it’s ready.

1995-No Wave High School [Cass]

This cassette is incredibly rare. It is estimated that only four copies were ever made. About 1 1/2 years ago this cassette went up on ebay for over $100 and now you have it for free!

Nobody can introduce this to you better than the man himself. In the second interview I did with Andrew W.K. he tells how he was involved with this release/band.

The first band in high school I was in was called “Lab Lobotomy”, or at least it was the first band that played shows and tried to do whatever we could do. But originally it was supposed to be called “Lobotomy”, but I spelled it wrong with an “a”, “La-botomy” instead of “Lo-botomy”. Of course I probably made t-shirts and a whole bunch of stuff before I noticed it was misspelled, which is just amazing. So I think the way we as a band kind of covered that, was deciding to embrace it and call it “Lab” and then spell it correctly after that. That’s how that band got named that ridiculous name. Lab Labotomy had Jaime Morales in it playing guitar and a man named Alex Goldman played trumpet, guitar, and sang as well. Also, a man named Allan Hazlett who is a philosophy professor now at NYU I think, was in the band. I got in touch with him not so long ago through email but I haven’t seen him… [looks him up online]. OK, this is saying he’s in the UK now, it’s gotta be the same guy. So now it’s saying [the internet] that he lives in England, I wonder if he’s teaching… he’s really fascinating. After High school I really lost touch with all of those friends to a small degree and then I was blown away when I heard that he decided to go and become a philosopher. He’s at the university of Edinburgh. That’s pretty amazing. So anyway that was Lab Lobotomy.

Wow! It’s finally here. This reaches deep into the Hanson Records discography. Ever since they were released in 1995 “HN004″ & “HN00006″ has been struggling to see the light of day. It wasn’t easy considering only 30 copies (roughly) of each were ever made. But once again AndrewWKMusic has pulled through for you!  Just click on the link to start your download (no more 4shared.com yea!).

Enjoy this music err noise!

Andrew W.K. has given us fans so much, now this fan gives back by performing a very special piece of AWK music.
