Theories of the conspiratorial kind

[astfgyl]

Ok, here's one. Not exactly a conspiracy of the traditional kind but more of a mystery thing.

Who is Andrew WK? Anyone familiar with that one?

No I just remembered it earlier and thought it might be an interesting one outside of the usual lark a thread such as this would entail. It's an interesting one but mostly seems to me like he is playing it up to generate a bit of mystique

It is something along the lines of he was manufactured by a record company and the current Andrew WK is a different person than the man from the party hard era.

Yeah that was it, that there is more than one AWK out there doing the rounds, and the answers he gave about the whole thing only served to perpetuate the idea more than dispel the rumours

Someone mentioned AWK in a facebook group lately and there were a few posts about how he used to be part of some noise collective years ago, it went on a bit, lads saying they knew him etc.  Never knew there was any sort of mystery about it, would like to see that.

Almost as much fun is the whole craic with The Armed.  https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vice.com/amp/en_us/article/d3kkea/getting-to-know-the-armed-the-most-unknowable-band-in-hardcore

Good read there on The Armed. So it's Kurt Ballou's thing then? Maybe..

Must take a listen, I've never heard a note of it.

Have a read of the AWK stuff, it's the same type of marketing I think he won't say he is or isn't him. Likely story in my head is that he hired an actor for a gig, and then let the story grow legs by itself

Here's a good summary of the AWK thing as well, for anyone unfamiliar with it https://www.stereogum.com/2015589/andrew-wk-steev-mike/franchises/columns/sounding-board/

If we're going down that route then I think this is my favourite one
