Handsome Furs tour the world this winter in handsome winter furs

Yeah. Sorry, that’s kinda it. I just wanted to write that headline. (And you gotta admit, it’s a beaut. Come stand over back here with me and admire that thing. Just kinda conveys it all, doesn’t it?) But I didn’t really have anything else planned… and now I’m kind of, you know, regretting this whole thing. Plus, I’m off for vacation in a few hours, and that’s not helping. Umm, well shit, you know how it goes: blah blah blah Handsome Furs… Canadian duo… Dan Boeckner and his wife Alexei Perry use keyboards and drum machines alongside guitars… latest album Sound Kapital out now on Sub Pop and even synthier than ever… Boeckner finally coming into his own (maybe?) now that Wolf Parade isn’t a thing… again, Canadian.

I mean, between that and a couple of jokes about PETA chasing them around because of a misunderstanding about fur coats and whatnot… it’s a TMT done-deal. Heck, it actually doesn’t sound like it would have been a bad story, especially when put up against the absent-minded, postmodern slop I usually churn out on the day before my vacation starts. Now I kind of wish I’d written it. Ah, regrets!
