I put my finger on this while talking to a friend. It's kinda like awkwardness
for the sake of being awkward whereas Beat Happening's charm was a result of
their sincerity. So yeah, that's obvious but it's relevant, and I wanted to put
it in words.

Not to say there aren't a lot of amazing bands around right now, au contraire.
Junior Senior are pretty fantastic. :o)
