THE DANDY WARHOLS - EVERY DAY SHOULD BE A HOLLIDAY INDEED
"The Original Video.. (OST - "There's Something About Mary")"
There is beauty in being odd.
There is even something even hypnotic about watching this band perform. I can't say the same for, "Something About Mary".... seriously... can you? Its just one of the rare comedys these days that doesn't star screen hog Will Farrell.
The claymation is nice. But even more significant is the intentional blur. This is a real throwback to the color graphics on the 4AD label. The Dandy Warhols are not a 4AD band but I enjoy them immensely as they are not afraid to be something unexpected.
Its interesting to see this guy dance and lip synch off key and still do all of own harmonizing.... with himself! Not sure about how their wardrobe works as a whole. It looks like payday at the Salvation Army but yet I cannot take my eyes off the band thanks to all the cool gel lighting. Its got real stage presence.
The sound is catchy too. What else do you need?

DANDY WARHOLS - if you can get past the name.....
The Dandy Warhols are an alternative rock band formed in Portland, Oregon by Courtney Taylor-Taylor (formerly Courtney Taylor) (vocals, guitar), Zia McCabe (keyboard), Peter Holmström (guitar), and Eric Hedford (drums). When Hedford left in 1998, Taylor-Taylor's cousin Brent De Boer replaced him as drummer. The band's name is a play on the name of pop artist Andy Warhol.

ANOTHER GREAT EXPORT FROM PORTLAND
I thought Portland was just known for great independent beer. Turns out these guys are also known for kicking out a great tune or two from the Dandy Warhols. I didn't know Portland had the imagination to crank out a band like the Warhols. I must admit I've admired these guys as soon as I got a hold of their second album.
They are fairly prolific too. They have been turning out an album every year on the average throughout the 2000's. And thats a great thing because these guys have a lot of musical fuel built into their songs. I never get tired of listening to them.
The WB network seems to agree with me on this one. The "Bohemian Like You" song has been featured on a lot of promo clips where it serves as the music bed.
