Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

The lead singer of the Dandy Warhols comes on and sings karaoke, "Love Hurts" by Nazareth.

Wait, what? By Nazareth? Since when? Written by Boudleaux Bryant, best performed by Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris (IMO), covered by Nazareth - which I didn't even know until looking it up just now - but they don't get the "by" credit. Also, I like the theme song and mildly enjoy some of their other tunes (Heroin Is So Passe is kind of cute), but CT-T butchered that song, I thought.

I've always been a bit of a Dandy Warhols fan, pretentiousness notwithstanding. Then I saw DiG!. The pretentiousness colours my enjoyment of their music a little more now.

Yeah, they are kind of ridiculous. I liked them a lot more before I realized how much they're ripping off the VU. (Admittedly, of course, but still.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I don't know why they felt that they had to have the conversation in the nurse's office.

I think it was to work in the Logan tearing up scene.

Oddly, that one I have no problem with.

Well, he was definitely doing it the way that Nazareth did it (which has gotten a LOT of airplay), so it was kinda pre-butchered.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I got the impression he was mangling it on purpose. And Nazareth's version was the "hit" so I'm not surprised by the "by".

Actual title is "Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth." I like it too, and several other Dandys songs. I'm currently addicted to "I Am a Scientist." And "Smoke It," obviously.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Did they cover Guided By Voices?

...no, I think it's an original.

You're getting my skeptical look now. But I'm more than willing to retract it later.
