Smoke It
by Jordan Heller Weissman
July 30, 2005
With chords borrowed straight from Blur's "Song 2" and a healthy dose of guitar gymnastics, "Smoke It," the lead single from the Dandy Warhols' upcoming LP "Odditorium or Warlords of Mars," will undoubtedly be the soundtrack to parties at liberal arts campuses this fall. A frat anthem for the indie set, it doesn't really matter whether this ode to stoner escapism is serious; the Dandies' refrain of "People got problems/People got problems with people/I know what it is, give me that/Smoke It!" has enough shout-along value to prop a standard garage romp into something decently enjoyable. Rock radio could certainly do worse.
