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)[reply]

Being a Beat Farmer fan, the condition of this page was hurting me deep in my heart. I corrected grammar, updated and added links and information, as well as eliminated contradictory information and redundant information. Malt-tones 22:48, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I feel your pain, compadre. The article is much better a year later, but still needs some polishing and expanding. I'm going to clean up the tenses and some small things tonight. No other band in history has made for happier and sadder memories. "It takes a young man's life, and it probably will." Well, see you down at Tio Leo's if you can make it. Jerry and Rolle and Joel blew out the rafters last Saturday night. We all flew in, one chick from as far away as Chicago. And to think I was at Buddy's last show, at the Parkway in El Cajon last year, just hours before his death. How in the hell did any of us ever get this old. Qworty 06:10, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Emotronic?

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)[reply]

Needs complete rewrite

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).

It is a cut and paste from a SD music website. Working on turning it into a real article. DFS (talk) 19:38, 8 January 2012 (UTC) DFS (talk) 18:44, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
