HANDSOME PETE is from Tuscaloosa, AL. Once I had this roomate who had this dance track he was always working on. He said that it needed a female vocalist to be complete--sighting that Arthur Russell track which took off after it was rereleased with the female vocals as an example of what a New York Woman could do for a dance track. Basically, this was all just a way to get some girl to come up to his apartment. I like to think that that is why Handsome Pete started recording: to lure unsuspecting females into his home recording studio.

HANK LAZARD (above) is the puppet. Jason (or Pauline as Hank calls him) is the dude. Both currently reside in the Crestwood neighborhood of Birmingham (where all the cool people live). Hank's podcast is recorded every Friday and is available for free streaming or download via "The Internet Archive." Hank usually appears at noise shows, because he has been banned from every club in Birmingham. Highlight for me is Hank's Buried Treasure: where Hank may or may not bury something and then gives you a map to find it. Also liked the episode where Hank gets set up on a date with a woman from one of those telephone dating services. Arby's is expensive.
