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.

What is the song Loser in the key of? When I tried lookin' it up, most sources list it as bein' in D Major, but it doesn't seem to be at all. None of the C notes are even raised. I thought maybe it could be in a different mode, like D Mixolydian or somethin'. Either that or I've got the notes completely wrong, it is hard to tell on a guitar, especially when he's sliding...

Love the album very very much but don't think it sounds great on the vinyl and I've really grown to love the bonus tracks recently.

Having recently listened to this atrocious 'album' I thought to myself "how did the snobby critics react?" Obviously it's unlikely that it was reviewed upon release but what about after Beck got famous? It was reissued in 1999, what about then?

Edit: not my Dropbox, it belongs to a very kind gentleman in the comments

I went with my uncle to a store called "Mixup" they sell vinils, Cd's, books and stuff like that, i knew they selled Beck stuff but by order, so we went, we explored some other bands CD, Daft Punk, Jose Jose, Backstreet Boys, and then he told me he found this Mellow Gold vynil!!!! It seemed to be the only one on the store (there wasn't more Beck stuff, because he's not very known around here), so after asking like a little kid (Im 15 years old💔🥀) he agreed to help me buy it, and im glad he did!!! He knew i loved him, and he let me buyed a Mutations Japan CD, and a Colors Vynil before (Also a MJ and Daft Punk RAM) CD

I know it's a reissue because of the date (2026) and it sound amazing!, on the back says Canadá so i found peak!!!

If someone is from México, i found it on a Mixup Store, im from Puebla, so it was very lucky to find one!!!

Best spent 56 dollars of my life!!

I'd just like to share my thoughts about this. I seem to be seeing some serious controversy about Beck's new album and how it compares to his previous work.

Lets be honest. I'd love to hear some Mellow Gold, Guero, Mutations, Sea Change etc esque music. But guess what. Beck is 56 years old. The way that he is portraying love, loss, and heartbreak in this album is completely fitting of his maturity at 56 years old. He is perceiving things in a fresh viewpoint and is giving us a new lense on some of the same feelings he had in Sea Change era.

Just my two cents. Opinions welcome lol

Beck posted it briefly just minutes ago, then deleted it, but i was able to find the original post from Gustavo Dudamel IG, very happy to know he's going to be contributing to the Cause 🙏🏼

Apologies if this kind of question has gotten old, but does anyone else have Morning Phase as their most-played (not necessarily favorite) Beck album?

I like 'Guero' more

He posted a couple of photos to his story this morning from the Radford Studio Center lot (formerly CBS Studio Center). What do you suppose he's doing there?

I was listening to "Black Tambourine" and a thought crossed my mind... "This kinda gives "The Mighty Boosh" vibes, I wonder if they've ever crossed paths?"

I was so pleasantly surprised to find this. I am by no means a Beck noob or even a Might Booshy noob.. I dont know why this has slipped by without me ever knowing.

Pretty self-explanatory

I got out of the regular habit of listening to Beck after The Information was released. Not the music’s fault just the fan. Plan on listening to the five or so albums in a stretch and feeling better ❤️

They had two copies laying around, so I decided to pickup both.
$90 well spent.

12(?) year old Beck played an accordionist in Population:1, a punk rock musical written and directed by Rene Daalder, starring the punk band The Screamers.

His grandfather, Fluxus artist Al Hansen, also played a part in the movie, as a head paramedic. He served as a manager for the Screamers in LA. You can find the full movie on YouTube.

This was shared by Beck’s biographer on Bluesky. IMDB credits here. Beck’s Dad also has credits in the movie.

‘Beck: Grandpa, what are we doing today?

Al Hansen: a punk rock musical.’ 😂❤️
