That Handsome Devil- "Charle's Inferno"

Oct 3, 2011, 1:29pm The Needle Drop
That Handsome Devil - Charlie's Inferno
Over the past couple weeks, I've gotten some really passionate, enthusiastic requests to review this new album from the Boston, Massachusetts outfit That Handsome Devil . I've been sampling the band's latest album, The Heart Goes to Heaven, The Head Goes to Hell , but I'm still not sure what to make of it-especially tracks like the one above, "Charle's Inferno." Musically, it sounds like a bastardized version of a Laurie Johnson composition , but that's kind of the point. It kinda feels like an odd, satirical cartoon. The sounds are a little [...]

Dope Leads to Death

Feb 1, 2009, 12:38pm How Marvellous...
Dope Leads to Death Belatedly marking the re-classification of cannabis in the UK... The above image is (probably) from a King Features syndicated comic strip - there was a comic-book reprint in 1952, by Harvey Comics, cover image below. I will confess to something now, but not any illegal drug use : in the late eighties a friend found the 'Dope Leads to Death' image in a book of posters, and we thought it highly amusing. So much so, that two of us produced hundreds of stickers in the photocopier belonging to the bookshop where G [...]

Dost thou discovereth music after yon peers hast discovered it, and you're all embarrassed when they declareth it "so last year?" (SOMETIMES!) BE NOT EMBARRASSED. These are 30 albums [...]

Brown Study : All Things Reconsidered II

Nov 20, 2008, 10:00am My Old Kentucky Blog
Brown Study : All Things Reconsidered II I'm thinking that the whole current calendar model is played out with its limiting B.C./A.D. designations. Here's an idea. Let's make 2008 the new Year Zero, which would allow us to reclassify all history as either B.C.D. (Before Chinese Democracy) or A.C.D. (After Chinese Democracy). Like it or not, the clouds are gathering and sites like this are popping up. In the meantime, here are four more recent releases that failed to get their day in the sun because of either the prejudices of others, or my own laziness. Tindersticks - [...]

Band of the Week

Aug 29, 2008, 7:04am What to Wear During an Orange Alert?
Band of the Week That Handsome Devil " The blinking of a billion lights/a city dressed in dynamite " If the city is dressed in dynamite, Godforbid and That Handsome Devil just light the fuse. And as the night's sky is lit up by the explosion all of the dirt, neglect, pain, injected chemicals, abuse, fear, hatred, will be exposed in a flash and then burned. In a blaze of eleven tracks, singer/rapper Godforbid spins bar stool tales of poverty, drug abuse (legal and illegal), and a solid level of pain that is about erupt and [...]

That Handsome Devil - A City Dressed In Dynamite

Aug 15, 2008, 11:29am Have You Heard
That Handsome Devil - A City Dressed In Dynamite That Handsome Devil - Rob The Prez-O-Dent That Handsome Devil is a band that revels in debauchery. Debauchery with digestible hooks that keep it dirty, fun, and less intimidating than it ought to be. A City Dressed in Dynamite is an apt title for their latest album, as it really does sound like a city counting down to the apocalypse. That is, That Handsome Devil is successful at setting the intended atmosphere. A City Dressed in Dynamite, and for that matter the rest [...]

Music from My Mailbox

Aug 10, 2008, 1:57pm Licorice Pizza
Music from My Mailbox As usual well past due, here's the latest (and not-so-latest) from the Licorice Pizza mailbox. There's a pretty good selection of stuff here; something for everyone's palate, I think. My personal pick of the litter is the tune from Brooklyn's TK Webb & the Visions, "Teen is Still Shaking." This is a spacey metal song with Dylan-esque vocals. My vote for weirdest song is Lexicon's hip-hop take on the Ramones "I Wanna Be Sedated." And winning the honor for "Singer I'd Most Like to Leave Everything For" is Kirsten Price. Like always, follow the [...]

That Handsome Devil

As someone who once directed an adaptation of the Principia Discordia for the stage, I was likely to be predisposed toward That Handsome Devil, given the song that kicks off "Side B" of their new album is called "Viva Discordia"....

That Handsome Devil :: Squares

May 17, 2008, 2:05pm Local Vertical
That Handsome Devil :: Squares Take a ride with That Handsome Devil to the other side of town: a neighborhood where Charles Bukowski hung his hat at a juke joint; where the bartender knew Hunter Thompson's single malt of choice and kept plenty in stock. This is the place where That Handsome Devil's front man Godforbid calls home, where producer Jeremy Page bangs on a bullet-riddled piano, its beaten keys howling from a smoky corner. A place with enough Molotov cocktails, skag, booze, and sleazy women to horrify the most hardened of old timers. A City Dressed in Dynamite is the soundtrack to this bizarre [...]
