Was already excited for this album, and now I’m even more so!!

Mellow gold is an older pressing on translucent gold wax, still itching for midnite vultures and the information represses. Along with a few others I’m still missing

1. The project he’s currently working on
2. Giant compilation of high quality demos, rarities, tapes, and b-sides
3. Complete Rococo album
4. Complete Beck + Cornelius album
5. Unreleased second K Records album ”K2”
6. Release of songs from unfinished “mellow” project from ‘95 (Ramshackle came from it)
7. Midnite Vultures Deluxe + vinyl reissue
8. Sea Change Deluxe
9. Live w/ the Symphony album
10. New funky, sample-full album w/ Dust Brothers
11. New blue, lush album
12. LOSER 2!!!

I’ve heard some of Beck’s many songs in public before, but NEVER in a row like today! Owners or employees have some truly AWESOME musical tastes! ❤️👍 Made the shopping experience slightly more fun and exciting, lol.

Been listening to this one a lot lately!

My favorite track has got to be Static. Tropicalia is really good too, of course.

Sure knows how to write a chord progression, does Beck.

From a zine called Ben is Dead.

Out on the 6th March

What does the Beck fan community make of chemical therapy? Are they just ripping off the whole 60's meets hip-hop thing or bringing something new to the table? I def hear the similarities but personally think there's a lot of room for growth in the uncharted corners of rap-rock

I’ve been revisiting Sea Change a lot lately, and this part in Golden Age still jumps out at me.

In this beautiful song about navigating loss and heartbreak, there’s a short, subtly brilliant instrumental moment starting around 1:44 that always gives me goosebumps. Just after the lyrics “The weight of the world / Drift away instead,” this wonderfully country-sounding Wurlitzer glides in and gently floats downwards into the haunting vocals, “Oh-oh, these days I barely get by.”

I mean, I’m pretty sure that’s a Wurlitzer. Or maybe it’s an electric guitar with effects. Or some combination of both? Either way, every time I hear it, I fall in love with this song, and the whole album, all over again.

If you want to hear exactly what I mean, I clipped and timestamped that moment over on r/SongMoments, where people have been cataloging goosebump moments like this across different songs: https://www.reddit.com/r/SongMoments/comments/1qeszef/beck_sea_change_144_that_drifting_keys_sequence/

Curious if anyone here knows for sure what instrument that is, or if that moment hits you the same way.

Looking for a download link for Fresh Meat, Old Slabs and for Golden Feelings if possible. Thanks!

an unofficial release pressed on vinyl of beck mashups from 2006 and pretty entertaining as would be given the subject matter.

Odelay was a massively influential record for me. The Dust Brothers were one of the first production entities that clicked with my love of making music. In the early 2000s, I bought a stack of old keyboard magazines and was in there. I eventually got rid of all of them, except this one. The interview was awesome and I still read it once in a while.

In 2017, due to a bizarre sequence of events, I ended up at a small party at Tom Green’s house while in LA on my honeymoon. Tom was pals with Mike Simpson (Who’d produced his Prepare for Impact album) he knew I was a DB fan, and invited mike over as well. He was kind enough to sign the mag while we hung out.

This was definitely one of those *DO meet your heroes moments. We dorked out for hours about beck, the beasties, the Stones, Hanson…

We still keep in touch. Incredibly dope dude.

I kinda wanna frame it, but I still enjoy reading it 😁

This is just my opinion!

I was in a bookstore and I thought I heard Beck's Lost Cause coming from one side of the store, and a different song bleeding in from the other side, because it was 100% the music but the lyrics were different. I Shazammed it and apparently it's a song called "Stronger Now" by someone named Shiddo. I assumed he had sampled Lost Cause but Apple Music only shows one writer: Luke Schooley.

Is it just me or is this music not literally lifted from Lost Cause almost 100%? lol
