This is the album that sent a shockwave of empowerment through the
nation's cultural underground. In 1985, Olympia, Washington band
Beat Happening released their eponymous debut of lo-fi pop songs on
K Records and challenged every conception held about music. At the
center of the group was the enigmatic Calvin Johnson and his
revolutionary vision of artistic creation. His foresight and
industriousness allowed him to recruit to the K Records roster
other free-spirited artists like Beck, Modest Mouse, and Built to
Spill long before they gained widespread acclaim. This book,
structured in abecedarian fashion, breaks down the fundamental
components that defined Beat Happening's self-titled album. With a
foreword by Phil Elverum, it's organized in a light-hearted yet
incisive format, each of the book's chapters details a particular
facet of the record-band members, historic shows, recording
sessions, songs, and ideologies-parts reflecting the album as a
whole. These alphabetic ingredients constitute a recipe book for
feeding your creative spirit. Here is the story of a band that
popularized do-it-yourself projects and home recording with
four-track tape machines decades before the digital revolution
would extend an open hand to garage bands everywhere. This is the
story of musical pioneers. This is Beat Happening.
