Age of H has been available for download for awhile on Last.fm, but I wanted to post this link that contains all of the MP3s + the cover art + a text document that has the lyrics and liner notes for each song.

It's a sad day.

Adair's HFH Review

Tue, 11 Sep 2007 19:59:32 GMT

So, Handjobs For Hobos entered a contest for the Season 2 release of Upright Citizens Brigade... We didn't win anything, BUT Matt Besser, A.K.A. Adair wrote a little blurb about our music:

Handjobs For Hobos – "Mogomra I Love You"
The Ramones of our contest. These guys paid tribute to the greatest monster of all time, the giant country lobster, Mogomra. Check out even better punk songs on their MySpace like "Cliterature".

RIGHT NOW album review

Thu, 16 Aug 2007 06:31:15 GMT

I found this today online:

I don’t really know what Handjobs for Hobos expects me to write about their album Right Now. Here are the facts: Handjobs for Hobos is a joke-y band composed of two guys who sit around playing pop songs with vulgar lyrics and just enough musical talent to wreak havoc on the musical world. They think their music is funny, and this short run (only 100 CDs) is mostly for those who (as the liner notes state) “laugh along with us.” It seems that they know they aren’t great (which kinda defeats the purpose of sending something for review, in my opinion).

Here’s my take on it: Each and every one of these songs is maimed by at least one major flaw, be it juvenile lyrics, unpleasant vocals, chronic underdevelopment of song ideas, or just plain stupidity. The very same things that these guys hold up as the funny parts of their music just don’t do it for me. I don’t like the fact that 6 of the 9 songs on this album attempt to make light of sex, or more specifically, the word “penis.” The only song with any lyrical quality at all is the highlight track “Alone Forever,” which seems to be a serious song about a lost love. I can’t say they’re the best lyrics ever, but at least they’re not “I wanna cum all over your face” (from “Bonana Song”).

There’s not really any redeeming musical value to this album except for “Burke the Jerk,” “A-A-Anime” and “Alone Forever” - and “A-A-Anime” is one of those that suffers from underdevelopment. It would be a great song if there were more to it, but right now it’s just an acoustic guitar line with some catchy stuttering spoken word over it. Again, “Alone Forever” is the only real song, as it has some nice mood-setting arpeggiating and an honest melody. If they move towards the type of songwriting in “Alone Forever,” they could get better. If they’re content to make some guys laugh, then they’ve accomplished their goal.

As Richard Nixon said, “People who like this sort of thing will find this is the sort of thing they like.” If you like juvenile humor delivered in a juvenile musical surrounding, pick up Right Now. If not, don’t go near it.

Aim conversations are fun

Fri, 29 Jun 2007 22:14:31 GMT

Awhile ago, some stupid kid that found out about HFH sent me an AIM message. He was a real dick-bag, so I decided to have some fun with him recently. Two conversations were had.

Check out our MySpace because there is a new song up called "Montel Sucks." Or is it called "Fuck You, Montel" or "TV Time"?

I don't know... anyway, check it out.

Shows are fun

Sun, 10 Jun 2007 05:28:57 GMT

Yup... so we played another show earlier today (or yesterday since it's past midnight). It was fun. We sucked, but it was fun. That is two unannounced shows in the span of two nights... sorry. But be sure to check out our show on July 21!

HFH Show

Sat, 09 Jun 2007 08:43:11 GMT

So, about 6 or 7 hours ago we played a basement show. Apparently a band dropped out and we were asked to play at the last second. Being slightly unprepared aside, it was a lot of fun. We look forward to playing more shows in the near (hopefully very near) future!

JULY 21ST

Tue, 05 Jun 2007 10:03:47 GMT

At least we're still friends, at least we're still alive.

Sun, 06 May 2007 20:10:14 GMT

Duerst and Brad J. Ruppa will be down in Chicago at Acen (that stands for Anime Central, for you non-"otakus" AKA people who didn't get beat up in high school). I think they'll be selling HFH CDs and assorted pins.

It'll be good fun and I'm kind of annoyed that I have to miss it.

!!!HEY BABE!!!

Wed, 02 May 2007 05:44:34 GMT

Last.fm

Thu, 05 Apr 2007 15:02:17 GMT

You guys ever checked out last.fm? It compiles a list of all the songs you've listened to (by tracking what you play off of iTunes) and you can see what your friends are listening to.

So, it basically allows you to musically stalk somebody. What a wonderful thing the internet is!!! Anyway, I'm bringing it up because Cliterature and Bonana Track are now freely downloadable through last.fm. (Not that big of a deal since you can download them from a bunch of other websites for free.) You can check out the HFH Last.fm page here: http://www.last.fm/music/Handjobs+For+Hobos

Apparently 1,413 last.fm users mistook Alone Forever as a Taking Back Sunday song.

REVIEW

Sun, 01 Apr 2007 08:47:37 GMT

We got reviewed... and it is hilarious!

Sometimes it’s cute to see young kids make music. While this group was formed nearly five years ago, they still write ‘songs’ called “Cliterature”, “Burke the Jerk” (which pretty much uses the same rhyme ad nauseum), and of course the title track. You can tell what the intelligence level is when they say that they boast a lot of Internet fans from South America, “or some random unimportant place like that”. Riiiight. They claim fame because one of their songs was swapped on the Internet after being inadvertently labeled a Taking Back Sunday demo. Sorry kids but no one would ever truly mistake your songs for an established band. You instead sound like twelve year olds still fascinated by the flame created by farts and lighters. It however is cute to hear ‘bands’ talk about sex when they’re totally virgins. Did I mention that this was the band you were hoping to go up against at a gong show?

I love searching for "Handjobs For Hobos" on Google. There is no limit to the crazy and hilarious shit to be found. For example, I found this on an internet forum:

" ... my gf likes bands i never really heard of, like Mindless Self Indulgence and Handjobs for Hobos and weird shit like that ... "

I never thought HFH would be grouped with MSI.

MySpace is awesome

Mon, 19 Mar 2007 03:30:09 GMT

With the help of google, I found a MySpace Blog entry a person wrote about creepy friend requests she gets from people who she doesn't know:

I have 25 still sitting there that I have neither approved nor denied. I just let them drop off. A lot of them are CREEPY. Yeah, I have a few weird 'friends' on here but I mean come on, wouldn't you okay a friend request from a band called "Handjobs for Hobos"? That's hysterical!!! I'd go see them, if they were in my area, just for that funny name alone.

THE PINS by Burke

Thu, 15 Feb 2007 22:49:56 GMT

So, I decided to compile all the HFH buttons that have been made over the years. Take a look:

There are, however, 3 buttons not on there. The first is a button that had a blue background and a pink heart (on the pink heart it says HFH). I couldn't find a picture of this. The other two buttons aren't really HFH buttons, but they are buttons of Duerst and Me... so they kind of count.

FUCKING BITCH by Burke

Thu, 15 Feb 2007 05:12:09 GMT

YouTube can be awesome, but check out this bitch:

She got that idea from our band name. We've been around since 2002 and this bitch just posted that shit a few months ago. I think I might punch her in the back of the head.

AWESOME HFH LINKS by Burke

Thu, 15 Feb 2007 04:54:51 GMT

So, why the hell start a Handjobs For Hobos blog?

Well, I'm bored . . . besides, I think it might be valuable to put all the HFH links and stuff in one singular place. This is especially important since we don't really have a website right now. So, for the first blog, I will just find every HFH link I possibly can and put it in one spot. Sound like a good idea? Well, I think it is.

http://www.hfhrocks.com - Obviously this pretty much goes without saying, and it only goes to our MySpace page (which can also be found http://www.myspace.com/hfhrocks). The myspace page is pretty much the key source for any info on HFH stuff (e.g. song downloads, new songs, new news, etc.), but hopefully that'll shift over to this blog a little more because myspace is slow as shit.

www.songmeanings.net/artist.php?aid=137438974757 - This is a page for HFH lyrics. It only has lyrics to a few songs, but I will eventually get around to adding more. If you for some reason are looking for HFH lyrics, I suggest checking out this page because I've seen a lot HFH lyrics on the internet and most of them are WRONG and rediculously so.

http://www.mp3.com/handjobsforhobos - Another MP3 page like MySpace, except this is a lot more reliable and much faster. It isn't used nearly as much as MySpace, but hopefully that will change because this is a better MP3 site.

Other current-ish MP3 pages which basically have the same content: http://www.purevolume.com/handjobsforhobos and http://www.pahardcore.com/bands/bands.cfm?id=18229&popular=1

Old, shitty, old, and older MP3 pages (if you want to laugh even harder at the quality of the recording/song writing): http://www.acmerock.com/artistPage.php?ID=HFH and http://artists.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/Handjobs_For_Hobos/ and http://www.pahardcore.com/bands/bands.cfm?id=5446 and http://www.purevolume.com/HFH.

Well, I'll be back with more... sometime... later.
