Hot Hot Heat

"Happiness is limited but misery has no end" is the first line and inspiration for the title of Hot Hot Heat's fourth album, Happiness LTD. A day before its release, Rhapsody talked with drummer Paul Hawley about the record's more morose tendencies and depth of songwriting, its nine prospective B-sides, and how he hopes it's the kind of music that hits the listeners "in the head, groin and heart." Hawley also shares his current listening picks, ranging from Tom Petty and the Klaxons to show tunes and even a little Kermit the Frog.
