We Used To Be Friends
by Gillian Nash
May 5, 2003
Just when you though that The Dandy Warhols were going to be surviving forever on the proceeds from licensing two tracks for use in advertising, they finally end a three year wait with a new album. Now, here’s a thought experiment: you’re in a band with a good-to-average career behind you and a couple of major international hits, what do you when it’s time to pay the bills? Do you: a) push into the uncharted waters of experimentalism, thereby ensuring that you will live forever as icons of independence; b) radically change your musical direction, because you don’t really like money and you’d rather follow your muse wherever it takes you; or c) examine what made your two hits so successful and take the safe path of reducing them to a formula to be repeated ad infinitum until another advertising licensing deal comes up? Top marks to all those that correctly chose option C.
