Topless at the Arco Arena: Here It Is

Here’s the album, in its entirety. We’re offering a free MP3 of “This Song is a Commercial,” as well. By all means, hit the word “share” and send it to friends…

When She Took Off Her Shirt

Over the next week or so we’ll be tricking out the Music and Buy Things pages with a bunch of widgets from our buddies at Topspin, so as a combination test/preview, we figured we’d get things started with a sneak peek at the lead track from Topless at the Arco Arena. Take a listen: Lots […]

Someone Else’s Video

Why do I love this new Rancid video so much? “Last One To Die” video Operation Ivy’s one album was brilliant — clearly inspired by the Clash, but somehow still it’s own thing. Rancid records, on the other hand, never gave me that same feeling of building something new and glorious on top of hallowed […]

More Topless Art

Here’s the label for the Topless CD. As you can see, we love it so much we incorporated it into the banner for this website. It will probably become a T-Shirt, as well. It’s based on a poster I saw a few years ago in an exhibit of WPA art. In that one, the shadow […]

Webcast Aftermath

So last night was our first experiment with webcasting. Wine Time with Wonderlick, in which Jay and I spent a little over a half hour drinking a fine bottle of Bordeaux, giving each other shit, and responding to comments typed in by viewers, was kinda fun and kinda embarrassing. The high point was probably when […]

Video Shoot

I like watching music videos, but I hate being in them. Miming is evil. Jay’s a little more of a ham than I am, but neither of us feel compelled to spend an inordinate amount of time in our own video. So a bunch of gracious volunteers will be sitting on this couch today, making […]

New Site

Welcome to the new Wonderlick website. We’ve pre-populated it with some of the recent news from the old site,  various posts from Lick’s Facebook page, and several years’ worth of interviews and reviews. But the real action is in the future — we’ll be turning various widgets on and off and maybe moving things around […]

Another Interview

The Topless interviews continue. This one’s on a site called SoundMojo – at least, that’s what it was called when we did the interview. It appears to have transmogrified into WatchMojo in between.

I like this century. I spent my lunch hour talking to Garrick Van Buren for his FirstCrack podcast, and the interview was live on his site two hours later: http://www.firstcrackpodcast.com/archive/first-crack-120-wonderlicks-tim-quirk-on-truth-through-music/ It’s long, and perhaps overly philosophical. It usually takes a decent amount of wine to get me pontificating quite that much.

Wine Time with Wonderlick: Live Webcast

So, the label is very eager for us to do semi-regular webcasts. In an effort to be accommodating, we will be trying one this Saturday, 5/9, at 7pm PST. We have no idea what we’re doing here, so we’ll be just as surprised as you if you tune in. We’re calling it Wine Time with […]
