Pink Elephant's Graveyard

In March, 1988 Beat Happening appeared live on local cable access channel TCTV, The Saturday Very Late Afternoon Show. This was right before their second album Jamboree [KLP002] was released on Rough Trade and Beat Happening were heading across the U.S. on their first major tour. “Black Candy” is an excerpt from that TCTV broadcast; this video was included on the Beat Happening Crashing Through [KLP115] box set.

“Black Candy” is on the Beat Happening album Black Candy [KLP006], produced with Steve Fisk at Allbright Producrtions in Ellensburg, Washington.

From their second album Dandelion Seeds [KLP084], “Rusted” is classic D+ (Bret Lunsford, Karl Blau, Phil Elverum). It is a result of the second trip by D+ to record with Calvin Johnson at Dub Narcotic Studio (the first resulted in their debut album D+ [KLP072]). Clarity Miller is a filmmaker from Anacortes, Washington who made several short films with other K artists, Old Time Relijun, the Microphones, the Crabs. “Rusted” appears on a VHS compilation Clarity made with Tae Won Yu, Black Eye.
