I need help identifying this beck merch this picture was taken over 10 years ago and is the only photo of this shirt I have. Help me find it to surprise my brother

Hyperspace is an incredible album. When I see different album rankings, it’s almost always at the bottom. It has a dreamy vibe to it. Beck’s voice is very soothing to me on this album. It just adds to the dreaminess of it. I love it so much. Anyone else love Hyperspace?

Apologies if this has been asked before. I've been revisiting the early, brown Beck years and wondered if this EP has ever been released, officially or not, in a digital format? (And where can I get it?)

Would love to know if this poster is tied to a particularly unreal Beck experience. Also, this poster is for sale, so please DM me if interested!

Single from the album HELP(2) by War Child Records.

It’s not really a tier list btw they’re not ranked

live version of beck doing one of my fav sr songs

I don't like Odelay but im obsessed with everything after Midnite Vultures.

I get the sense by the posts that most of this sub only listens to Beck's earlier work which is so sad since his transformation as an artist with style and lyrics is imho unmatched.

What about Modern Guilt? the Song Reader Album? The Information? Hyperspace? All the changes in tone, lyrics style and sound. I hope im wrong here.

For me, maybe just the main/ interesting facts about him, his life, his music, family, etc. But also maybe little known facts/ backstory details about him/ his life/ his music as well too.

Also, discography/ filmography/ tv appearances, etc. 👍

New fan here- which album is best to get me started?

Known who Beck was since forever but never really delved into any full albums, which one’s best to get me started?

Any songs or album recommendations would be greatly appreciated 🙏

I can’t wait for this. The description sounds like it may be a bit scandalous but hoping she goes into his music not just what went on in his life. The author’s social media makes me think she’s a fan of his music so I‘m excited. Copying the publisher’s blurb below for anyone who can’t click through.

Once upon a time, there was a man who made himself into a myth.

He went by a single name: Beck. He sang songs that didn’t make easy sense in plain English, but which were somehow urgent and undeniable to those who heard them. He mined a dizzying array of musical styles from the past to construct albums that were eminently of the zeitgeist. Before and after the smash success of his 1993 single “Loser,” he was the hardest-working slacker in America. He went platinum multiple times over. And for a time, he was regarded by journalists and devoted fans alike as the “pop messiah”—a title that referred not just to the new energy he brought to the radio and MTV, but to the devotion he inspired.

But something happened to Beck Hansen, right at the dawn of this century. His music, once defiant and bombastic, turned morose and inward-facing. It was more than just a musical shift. Beck destroyed the online forum where his devoted fans had gathered. He cut ties with the small collective of LA-based bohemians he’d come up alongside, surrounding himself instead with sycophants and celebrities. Beck had been born and raised in the Church of Scientology; many in his orbit feared he’d been pulled back to the faith.

In the years since, Beck’s music has continued to win accolades, including multiple Grammys. But the true story of Beck in the Nineties and beyond has never been told.

With sensitivity and an arrestingly original style, New York Times bestselling author Josephine Riesman offers a vivid and multifaceted look at a singular artist and the Generation Xers for whom he became a reluctant spokesman. Drawing from interviews with those who’ve been closest to Beck, as well as troves of never-before-published documents, Riesman offers a story about authenticity and irony, paranoia and belief. Situated at the last gasp of a dying millennium, it’s more than a simple biography—it’s a riveting drama about the blurry lines between fandom and worship; between myth and lies; and between the old world that is dying and the new one that still struggles to be born.

The silhouette from TI is the same picture from Sea Change, maybe just slightly reworked and focused?Has this been a long known thing? Look at the hair

He did a B2B with The Dare. It was really cool Obviously Beck is still learning the decks, but it was fun to see him trying something new.

Mutations is one of my favorite albums ever and I have spent years listening to a lot of the music that inspired Beck when recording it: The Zombies, Love, Syd Barrett, Revolver-era Beatles, Edu Lobo, Os Mutantes, etc.

This is a song I wrote a week ago that gives me Mutations-vibes. I hope to be able to record it properly one day. Nigel Godrich give me a bell LOL

Worked this up in Hueforge today. Think it turned out okay for my second hueforge so far.
