The Dandy Warhols are buh-buh-back, and we've had a virtual postcard from them.

Their new album ...Earth to the Dandy Warhols is now available. It's only available digitally at the moment but will will be released on physical formats in August. If you've not heard or got it already head to DandyWarhols.com to hear it for free from their In Rainbows meets Daft Club subscription service.

Ahead of their forthcoming UK live dates (see below) DiS received the following e-postcard from Courtney Taylor-Taylor:

_ hi england, wouldja? i'm back in portland now having rainy shitty fifty three degrees farenheit weather. in june. i've got a fire in the fireplace and am doing press homework in my cozy medieval style 1920's home now. home:good. next time i see you i'll miss home. even the crap weather. oh wait, no i won't cuz it'll probably be crap weather there too. that's probably one of the reasons i love that darn england so much... the crap weather reminds me of home. good weather for pasty artist types. and ducks.

see ya soon

..and by the way, thanks for The Beatles._

I finally saw Digg the other day..

it left me with the opinion that Courtney is a pretty duplicitous character.

I really like the first

half of the new album. I may be alone but i like Courtney's more recent freeflow Lou reed esque songcraft style as heard on 'Welcome to the Third World' - warrants more listens. Wasp in the Lotus is a killer new album track too although so far i'm not as keen on the second half of the album.

my fondest memory of them was the first time i saw them in 97 in worcester massachusetts. i was 16. zia's friends were sitting right next to us so she came over to them after the gig and i talked to her for a bit then followed her to where courtney, eric and the guitarist were (his name escapes me now) and we talked for a bit and then courtney stole my pen. eric was the nicest. i missed seeing teenage fanclub to talk to them. worth it? in retrospect, no.
