Spinning Platters Interview: Andrew W.K. on Marky Ramone’s Blitzkrieg
This Saturday night, a ridiculously fun show is coming to The Independent in San Francisco. Marky Ramone, former drummer of New York punk legends The Ramones, has tapped Andrew W.K., professional partier, to sing Ramones classics with his band. Because this might be the most incredible concept in the history of fun, we decided we needed to talk to Andrew W.K. about it.

Gordon: Are you just preparing for the tour right now? Are you in rehearsals?

Outside Lands 2013 Journal, Day 1: Friday, August 9th
Outside Lands 2013 may have been my favorite OSL yet. It was my favorite line up so far, and the weather was amazing. It never got too cold, nor did it get too hot. Also, I got to see two legendary, groundbreaking musicians that essentially rewrote how we listen to music. Not a bad way to enjoy a day in the park…

Just a warning, we pretty much only talked about how much we like R Kelly.
