    i feel like psychically they did sell 30 million copies – i never hear anyone get excited over nirvana but not a week goes by that i don’t hear someone enthuse over the BH cartel. they turn me on

    shit imagine if

    actually musical fulfilment of life ambition….DIY makes money

    however….imagine the spin off effects…

    Adverts in Barritone, news in colloquial Barritone, all back filled with Velvet beats

    It *is* very “age 11.” Like from a kid that believes in Santa Claus until she is 12. I’m still tripping on the “riot grrl halloween costume.”

    And I just realized I have never listened to the whole Beat Happening album.

  8. I would never thought you’re eleven, Everett. Ha! I’m older than You!

    Yeah, there wouldn’t be all that Nirvana-wannabees and the Foo Fighters, and the “Loser” style that much popular…but from another hand, there would be Beat Happening-wannabees and many other strange things. Yeah, the Calvin’s Calvinism would be at least trendy.
