Song of the day special - 79: Hive Dwellers (Calvin Johnson)

Calvin Johnson! He's back!

Well, this is a cause for celebration, no mistake. So let's celebrate! The world's grooviest dancer this side of me, Jonathan Richman and Nikki McLure. One of the greatest things about living in Seattle was being able to watch Calvin strut his stuff on stage on a regular basis. As Toby Amies will attest, Calvin is the singularly most scary and striking performer ever to appear on MTV Europe.

For those of you with no sense of Calvin's heritage (or place in my world), check the following links.

• Beat Happening
• solo
• Dub Narcotic Sound System
• The Halo Benders
• Beat Happening again
• The Go Team

And you might want to check out the following groovy package from his label, K Records.
