Talk:The Beat Farmers

message: Some of the information was unnecessary, and was therefore removed.
I edited some parts of the article; and in doing so, removed many information that didn't necesarrily flowed w/ the article.
if someone could actually expand the article, maybe we could use the deleted info and weave in smoothly with the article--Vircabutar 08:47, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I looked at the  Beat Farmers' MySpace page and on their three genres it said that they were emotronic. --Thebluesharpdude (talk) 03:10, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Emotronic? 

message: I grew up in San Diego and well remember the Beat Farmers (they were almost always referred to with the definite article).  They received a goodly amount of airplay of KGB-FM, especially the song "Happy Boy."
REWRITE!
Down to brass tacks:
This article is a mess.
It's not even an "article"--neither in the conventional sense of the word nor in the wikipedical sense.  It's more like an almanac or a (print) encyclopedia's Year Book.
Put more kindly, it's written in the old "annalist" style of history, largely taken from the "diaries" kept by monasteries (often the only source for much Medieval history since, for more than 1000 years, almost nobody but the clergy could write).  Since the monks viewed these as compilations of records (primitive stirrings of bureaucracy?) they were logically listed by date, with the major division being years.  (Sorry, digression is one of my besetting sins...)
POV
There's also a great deal of POV in the article.  In fact, it reads a lot like the old fanzines did (admittedly, those were largely before my time since, at age 38, I'm the first computer generation, and by the time I went to high school, they'd largely disappeared replaced by another extinct species, the computer bulletin board).
