Any 10-year-old with access to a computing device can overdub. And my understanding of their performance aesthetic is that there is no particular reason to get attached to a studio arrangement when playing a song live - they just aren't that precious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038995728078778615.post-42875793582474363602010-09-20T07:59:43.791-07:002010-09-20T07:59:43.791-07:00i love the beat happening and Ki love the beat happening and KLos Angeles News Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15976546185415434447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038995728078778615.post-49900224271535651752010-09-12T20:12:34.685-07:002010-09-12T20:12:34.685-07:00link exchange with me:

I find the Mennonite lifestyle to be very 'punk', and do not enjoy my credibility being questioned. <br /><br />Salutations, <br />Robert J.

Tidings and good wishes, esteemed author. <br />However, this particular evolution of their sound still makes me uneasy. The addition of overdubs and other such studio fanciness seems to only highlight the band’s inherent amusical tendencies. Why would a band founded on the concept that individual musical skills are not necessary to a great band ever try to become more complicated? Beat Happening’s musical magic happens in a tripartite sonic synergy – who plays the overdubbed parts when the band plays live? Does their onstage synergy diminish with this nameless faceless fourth voice? Can these songs even be played live by Beat Happening? Yes, yes, the songs are good, yes, yes, they do maintain that rhythmic sheen of simplicity. But are these even Beat Happening songs?Bob Jonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038995728078778615.post-20632103326251683722009-05-19T14:47:58.915-07:002009-05-19T14:47:58.915-07:00Really fantastic record.
