As the series celebrates its 10th year and 100th volume, Slate caught up with energetic and enigmatic musician Andrew W.K. and Phillip Crandall—the author who profiled him and his legendary album I Get Wet for the series—to talk about the book, the album’s memorably bloody cover, and the definition of party.
