The Dandy Warhols: Come Down

The Greatest Non Hits

Text us, and Rock on!

What do coffee shop workers and rock stars have in common? Quite a bit, as it turns out! Join us for a fascinating exploration of a nostalgic ride with the Dandy Warhols and their iconic album "Come Down," blending the eclectic sounds of psychedelia and Britpop with tales from their Portland coffee house roots.
Prepare for whimsy and humor as we dissect the lyrical brilliance and peculiar undertones of the Dandy Warhols' tracks. You'll get playful commentary on the delightful absurdity of Christian rock with the tongue-in-cheek track "Hard On For Jesus." The conversation meanders through intriguing musical landscapes, drawing comparisons to icons like Neil Young and Brian Eno, and examining the ambient qualities of lesser-known tracks that deserve their moment in the spotlight.
Our episode crescendos with a lively discussion about our favorite songs from "Come Down," spotlighting the infectious energy of "Every Day Should Be a Holiday" with its uplifting vibes and new wave influences. We celebrate the emotional highs of "Whipping Tree" and the concert-like fervor of "Boys Better," sharing our personal song rankings in a friendly banter that pays homage to the band's creative genius. And because no trip to Portland is complete without a quirky reference, we can't help but nod to "Portlandia" with its charmingly odd "put a bird on it" mantra. Whether you're a coffee aficionado, music lover, or just along for the ride, this episode promises laughter, nostalgia, and a hearty appreciation for the art of sound and brew.
