Tuesday, June 6: Andrew W.K., "Party 'til You Puke"
Some 20 years removed from all the hype and controversy, I Get Wet holds up as an epic soccer holler that is nothing more or less than a half hour blast of energy, with any questions about irony or authenticity rendered wholly irrelevant. And trying to analyze something called “Party ‘til You Puke” in the spirit of assessing its intentions is entirely beside the point. With Andrew W.K., at least at this stage, the message was right there in the slamming guitars, frantic drumming (courtesy of Obituary’s Donald Tardy) and shouted chorus. Party til you goddamn puke- that’s all there was, and all there needed to be.
