I'm thrilled that Beat Happening are represented.

But while the choice of "Our Secret" may make
sense in that it's kinda their "Radio Free Europe"
(in that it was influential and it was their first 45),
but I don't think it's nearly their best song.

Having already been a fan of the band for a while
when I first heard it, I remember finding Calvin's
off-key vox and the repetitve simplicity of the music
fun/amusing/refreshing/engaging/charming, but I
imagine most first-time-listeners/non-converts will
be lunging for the *skip* button, whereas the
inclusion of, oh off the top of my head, let's say
Indian Summer, I Let Him Get to Me, Foggy Eyes,
That Girl, Crashing Through, Look Around, Cast
a Shadow, Hangman, or Hot Chocolate Boy would
be more likely encourage further investigation from
novices.
