Beat Happening - Dreamy

My favorite Beat Happening...

I like all the songs but two of them. This is where I'd start in the Beat Happening catalog. This band has its own niche, totally unique approach. My fav songs on this one are the last three. Other albums of theirs....Jamboree I find very spotty, haven't heard the debut self-titled disc, Black Candy's pretty good, You Turn Me On is better, and Music to Climb the Tree By is worthwhile too. There are treasures to be found in every set. Get to know this band! August 10, 2007

Please spare yourself the trouble

Why listen to this garbage and pose? If you can't play your instrument or pretend not to then get a life and quit having pajama parties and coloring contests. This album as well as the rest of these poseur/artsy fartsies need to quit trying to fake people out and get a real job. If you like this crap then get the Shaggs and be done with it because at least they were being honest and sincere even if they couldn't play. I'd rather listen to a Steve Vai or a Poison album than this fodder any day! February 20, 2004

I love Calvin Johnson, but you shouldn't buy this cd from Amazon. You should go to directly to K for your music. www.kpunk.com
Seriously, the shipping is cheaper, and you'll feel better about yourself. January 23, 2002

Music for the rejected youth in you.

I can't tell you how many times a listened to this album in a friend's basement wishing I had just a bit more Mad Dog 20/20 to swill as the disc played one more time. If you want THE album for disaffected youth in the George Bush years this is it. From the sour grapes of "Revolution Come and Gone" to the blatant sexuality of "Nancy Sin", this is a two chord masterpiece. The best Beat Happening has to offer and essential to any Indie Rock collection. Dreamy grows on you but never grows old...... July 12, 1998
