In this day of pop star adoration and that bedroom-wall-on-show-for-everyone that is tumblr, it is always swoonings and pictures of Calvin i see pinned up, never Heather. If it is her, it is always in a group publicity shot, far from the microphone-holding, shirt-pulling, can’t-bear-being-him pictures of Calvin, and the reason and desired effect with which they are posted. That is the image that sums up Beat Happening for everyone and what they get out of it. It’s a pity, because Heather’s songs for me are in every way as important and thrilling as Calvin’s. I’m sure they are for everyone else too. It’s just a side of the band maybe less photogenic.
