![]() ![]() The parcel containing Batdance hadn’t arrived. ![]() This also meant that 30 years ago (it was a Monday, as that is when records used to be released, kids) I rode my trusty Vespa to Worthing to buy the 12” from Our Price (that used to be a record shop, kids) I parked down an access road near the shop (on double yellows, but I would only be 5 mins max) and entered the familiar surroundings. Sign ‘O’ The Times? Definitely not! Batman? Chuck it! One notable public criticism was in the film Shaun Of The Dead, which had a scene with Pegg and Frost trying to hold back the advancing Zombies by ‘luzzing’ records at them- not all records would be thrown though- Purple Rain? No. N album of Batman themed songs, with lead vocals from Batman, Bruce Wayne, Vicki Vale and The Joker, only snippets of a few tracks were in the film (trust and Partyman from memory), the album sold well initially, but had very mixed reviews, which continues to this day. Prince, naturally, took his own approach to a soundtrack- a Tim Burton directing this NEW Batman was exciting, there was film merch a-plenty, and with Prince providing the soundtrack- Warner Bros. The vibe there is a dingy good, even if the low lighting lends itself to shitty photography.I have been reliably informed that 30 years ago today (June 12 th 1989) Prince released his, at the time, much anticipated lead single off of The Batman Soundtrack- Batdance. It was enjoyable, but I probably wouldn’t get it again, but I’d still go back to Devil’s Advocate. ![]() And the Devil’s sauce could use some work. They went with American cheese, which is probably because assholes like me talk too much about how good it is on a burger, but balancing flavors is important, too. In general, it seems like this burger’s trying too hard but not trying hard enough. It’s $8 on Happy Hour, though, which sounds about right. It tasted closer to $10, and I eat $14 burgers on the regular. It seemed like only a 1/4 pound patty, and seemed to just be pre-ground beef. It was overpriced at $13, which I couldn’t really figure out. The Devil’s sauce could have used more kick, or more sauce, but it might as well have not been there. The fried onions stayed remarkably crispy throughout, the bacon was delightful. I love American cheese - it is known, Khaleesi - and it was pretty good on here, but I wanted some sharpness. The flavor profile here was great, but I think a cheddar would have held up better with the onions and bacon. The patty was a bit too thin to have asked how I wanted it cooked, but they did, and I asked for a medium rare and it came out a solid medium, which actually worked well, but I wish they just hadn’t asked. It wasn’t life-changing, but I enjoyed it. It came with unremarkable fries and a knife sticking out the top of it. There were a number of burgers on the menu, and I wanted some kind of souped-up classic, so I got the Natty, a simple burger with American cheese, bacon, fried onions, and “Devil’s Sauce”. All of their house brews are 6.66% ABV, because they’re hilarious. It was honestly more flavorful than I expected/wanted, which is a weird complaint, but cheap shitty beer tastes like summer to me, and anything else feels like a waste of money and taste buds. I ordered the “Schlager Lager”, a house brew. But I wasn’t there to put balls in my mouth. But the meatball thing didn’t fly so well as they’d hoped so they expanded the menu to include some nonspherical foods. And I’d reckon they’re all the same size, too. They make them of different meats, or not-meat falafel. I’ve never been to Devil’s Advocate before, but my anonymous drunkypants friend was on a boat getting drunk all day, and when I got off work she said she was there, so I went to meet her, and she was nowhere to be found. Luckily, her drunk ass led me to a spot with burgers before wandering off into the night.įrom what I’d heard, Devil’s Advocate’s focus was initially on meatballs of all shapes and sizes - just kidding! They’re all the same shape: ball. But good or bad, there’s only one way to toast the launch of your burger blog: if you don’t know what goes after that colon, you should leave. But when I finally did get a chance to check, the response was pretty great, and I appreciate the kind words and blah blah blah you aren’t here to read me get sappy. On Friday morning, I unleashed this little beast into the social medias and went immediately into work for the next 13 hours, like, “I hope people don’t think I’m a butthead.” I don’t recommend working on something for a few months and then launching it and then not being able to check social media or page stats for many hours, because you’ll have a remarkably distracted day at work. ![]()
