yesterday afternoon may have been the perfect easter. i was hard(ly) at work in the pizza parlor with two good friends, no customers and a two beat happening albums (Dreamy and You Turn Me On). 
we were making one of the most amazing cheese pizzas ever and it took about an hour because we made the sauce from scratch and had to crush all of the tomatos. but the whole time i just kept screaming "GOD, BEAT HAPPENING IS THE GREATEST BAND EVER" and "GOD, THIS IS THE BEST PIZZA EVER". we began discussing beat happening and something became really clear: Beat Happening is one of the most aggressive bands ever. i know this is most likely the most ridiculous thing i could say about band that is often labeled twee pop or indie pop, but i really see them as DIY punk rock. everytime they play a melody over and over for a long time it is an act of aggression against all of the stereotypical distorted guitars that were clanging in the sea of hardcore and post-hardcore that surrounded them. they were the band that taught me that it doesnt have to be fast, there doesnt have to be a change for a chorus, there doesnt even have to be a chorus, you can drum on an empty bucket of frozen yogurt, you can do whatever it is that you want to do. beat happening makes me extremely happy.sorry, i couldnt get the video to work right.
