You got you Calvin in my Doug. No, you've got your Doug on my Calvin. Calvin and Doug two great tastes that taste great together.

...which goes to prove my point, although I should have written "lack of talent for singing", I do not doubt that he is a great organizer, makes superb coffe or whatever else he might do better than sing. If you can stand it then good for you. YMMV...

A good place to start for those interested in Beat Happening is of course You Tube or I-Tunes. For serious collectors, SUB POP records issued a beautiful box set with all five studio records, a seperate disc with singles and raritis, a DVD with videos and live perfomances, and a booklet with great oral histories and pictures. Other Calvin Johnson projects include (of course) Halo Benders with Doug and Steve Albini, and the funk danceband Dub Narcotic Sound System.

Wow. Calvin Johnson = "massive lack of talent." I'm amazed. Since you don't know: Calvin Johnson, founder of seminal indie-pop band Beat Happening and the record label K, is widely considered one of the most important and influential artists in underground music. His aesthetic is DIY, or "do-it yourself," and, despite his off-key voice, he started Beat Happening with friends who did not know how to play instruments, and created some of the most original and pretty pop ever!



Fuckin' dummies! learn something about a band before you get on here and talk shit! if anyone had a quarter of the balls Calvin does there wouldn't be such shitty music! People are scared to try something new or open minds. shame in this day and age. go listen to lady gag.
