  The My Hero Project - Handsome Lake
Handsome Lake said he had been visited by four spiritual messengers who gave him instructions on how the people were supposed to live - to be thankful and continue the thanksgiving ceremonies, to respect other humans and everything in the natural world, to honor the family and refrain from abuse of spouses.
Handsome Lake recognized the need to raise the material standards of the Iroquois and to adjust to the existence of a dominant white society, and he backed economic development and peace with the United States.
Handsome Lake's influence was strongest among the Senecas, Onondagas, and Oneidas of New York, although it spread to the Wyandots and Iroquois of the Sandusky in Ohio, whom he visited in 1806.

 Handsome Western States, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
Beulah's crafty indie rock sound isn't as lo-fi as many make it out to be and while Kurosky's a big fan of Pavement, Handsome Western States is filled with a different kind of soul and a great big heart.
From the lazy shimmy of "I Love John, She Loves Paul" to the punky good time of "Disco: The Secretaries Blues" and the countrified lament "Queen of the Populists," Handsome Western States is a solid introduction to Beulah's warm pop style.
Reflecting upon teenage love is always memorable, and Beulah makes some of the confusion of those days seem OK. Handsome Western States is a sunburst of good music and as songwriters, the members of Beulah are onto something good.

 Beulah: When Your Heartstrings Break ---Ink Blot Magazine
In their lousy rehearsal space, Swan and Kurosky labored over their four-track at the glacial pace of a song a month; a year and a half later they emerged with 7", A Small Cattle Drive in a Snowstorm, and a full-length album titled, Handsome Western States, which was released on the Elephant Six record label.
Faced with the problem of having a record to plan an tour for, but no band, the two were forced to put together a line-up which now includes Steve La Folette, Pat Noel, and Steve St. Cin.
Handsome Western States, Beulah's 1998 release on Elephant 6 Records, heralded handsome praise and a bounty of comparisons to Pavement.

There is something to be said for consistency - for being able to pull any one of their four albums off the shelf and have it be solid start to finish...
Handsome Western States has it's charm, but it was a quantum leap between it and When Your Heartstrings Break.
At least the sting of their passing is eased somewhat by Miles' forthcoming solo record, which will essentially be the fifth Beulah record, and the A Good Band Is Easy To Kill DVD out this Fall which was filmed during their final tour.

When someone complains about government policy toward the aged, it is often stated that these policies are anti-woman because most old people are women.
It has also been suggested that the situation would improve if there were less of an imbalance in the faculty, but there is uniform dislike (or at least stated dislike) for having affirmative action for the anti-extreme-left.
Since there is proof positive of repression of the anti-extreme-left in my university and my department, I propose that the State should insist that every hiring committee have at least one anti-extreme-left person on it.

`Handsome Western States' is a slice from the indie-rock handbook, melding catchy melodies and tunes with Pixie's-like one-note guitar licks and disjointed, angular guitar workouts.
Beulah's first album is closer to their last, "Yoko," than their other two, "When Your Heartstrings Break" and "The Coast is Never Clear." That's not necessarily a bad thing, though.
"States" is strictly rock, and Beulah has yet to discover the many instruments and pop melodies that make Beulah great.

Nude as the News: Beulah: Handsome Western States
Handsome Western States is one of my favorite guilty pleasures -- an album terribly recorded, inconsistently performed, and with some lyrics that make Promise Ring singer Davey von Bohlen look like the finest logician of our times.
Heartstrings, which adds studio time and something like 20 musicians, doesn't have the serendipitous magic of Handsome, which was made by three people with an eight-track.

Splendid: When Your Heartstrings Break seems to be a more subdued album than Handsome Western States -- it has a less obtrusive sound.

 Molars: if language is a city, take a bus to the suburbs
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin are a fantastic guitar pop band, and have released one of the better straight-ahead indie rock albums I've heard this year, "Broom".
I am not lying when I say that "Broom" is on par with (and has sonic similarities to) Beulah's "Handsome Western States" and "When Your Heartstrings Break", as well as the Shins' "Oh Inverted World".
The lead singer (who is either John Robert, Jonathan, Philip, or Tom- I can't tell) definitely sounds a bit like James Mercer and a bit like Miles Kurosky at times, without really being any kind of vocal clone of either those two (just in that same timbral ballpark).

Miles and Bill recorded a song every month and a half for 16 months in the beginning, using only guitar and drums, and recording in their offices, living rooms, bathrooms and hallways onto a Maxell cassette.
The resulting album, Handsome Western States (E6-014) was released at the end of 1997.

With the mild success of the Handsome Western States in the United States and Europe, the boys of Beulah were able to cut down to a 6-piece with rotating musicians.
This was the record that got them there.

Kurosky and Swan recorded a song every month and a half for 16 months in the beginning, using only guitar and drums, and recording in their offices, living rooms, bathrooms and hallways onto a Maxell cassette.
The resulting album, 1997’s "Handsome Western States," scored the band enough indie cred that they were invited to join the renowned Elephant 6 collective, alongside such bands as Apples In Stereo and Neutral Milk Hotel.
They pieced together a touring ensemble, played a few shows around the U.S. and U.K., and saved up enough money to get a reel-to-reel tape machine and some decent recording equipment.

This documentary chronicles the group's last tour, which took them across the U.S. and Canada in the fall of 2003 in support of their final album, YOKO.
Originally a duo comprised of Miles Kurosky and Bill Swan, the band expanded in order to take the show on the road after the success of its debut album, HANDSOME WESTERN STATES.
Coming full circle with this release, the band signs off with a tour executed in characteristic style, as they keep a low, modest profile while playing to packed houses nightly.

 Beulah   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The result was 1997's Handsome Western States, one of the label's first full-length albums.
Besides Kurosky and Swan, the disc's only other musician was Anne Mellinger, who added violin and backing vocals to a few tracks.
The dense arrangements add sparkle to chiming pop like "Score From Augusta," "Calm Go the Wild Seas," "Sunday Under Glass" and "The Aristocratic Swells," while Kurosky's lyrics ramble through an elusive spew of syllable-stuffed images, touching on motifs of history, religion, cultural mythology and fame.

 Beulah's Last Stand / The San Francisco indie band says so long
The six-man ensemble launched itself modestly in 1997 with a 7-inch release, "A Small Cattle Drive in a Snow Storm," and an EP, Handsome Western States.
Initially affiliated with the Elephant 6 label, home to the Apples in Stereo, Neutral Milk Hotel and Olivia Tremor Control, Beulah put a San Francisco -- and increasingly sophisticated and polished -- spin on sunny pop that harked back in a lo-fi way to the Beatles and the Beach Boys.
They endured a few personnel changes, released four increasingly acclaimed full-length albums (the last two on Atlanta's Velocette label) and enjoyed growing popularity that reached a new peak with last fall's release of Yoko and this spring's two-month tour of Europe and the United States.
