Wax of the Week #90...Beat Happening: You Turn Me On (1992)


Now that someone’s mentioned it, I can definitely hear a bit of The Velvet Underground in this band’s dronier songs, but as if they were raised on soda pop and s’mores and spin-the-bottle instead of slamming smack in humid, dirty alleys with young male prostitutes. And tellingly, Stuart Moxham of Young Marble Giants produced some of this (along with Steve Fisk from the previous record).
