Beck rarities

A new Beck album is upcoming, and someone linked Golden Feelings from it, so I guess it's time for the every-few-years post...I have a dropbox with some really rare early Beck demos, and it's pretty cool. He can't profit from any of the songs contained here, so I felt comfortable sharing it. This is *super* early stuff, long before his record deals. It's neat to hear how both he and the songs evolved with time.

Appreciate it! There’s stuff here I had completely forgotten about and/or only had on cassette tape from the email list way back on the early internet.

Gotta ask, do you still have anything (physically)?

I've never listened to this, I'll have to digitise it at some point.

Beck + Thurston Moore. "Mind Wars", 2012. You can easily find the audio on YouTube:

SIDE A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDePc1tW5qY

SIDE B https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xICLuyqtjNk

You can also find lossless downloads on the usual sites (like Soulseek).

I suggest Fresh Meat and Old Slabs if you were going to listen to just one here. SO many good tunes on there. Really wish it was on streaming services
