Beck

[Magtig]

How the hell is there no thread for Beck!?

Anyway, he's working on TWO new albums with one scheduled for release this fall, but I didn't come here to post about that. I came here to find out if a good bootleg exists of his surprise acoustic show from last night, which included performances from his sheet music only album, Song Reader.

[Leviathant]

At LPR, no less! There's no way I would have had the wherewithal to land tickets to that, but what an incredible setting, and an interesting setlist to boot.

New song Defriended


And a nice 12" vinyl with an extended mix of Defriended: http://beckdefriended.com/

TWO new albums!? I haven't even been able to purchase Song Reader.

I'm super excited! I've never seen him live, so I'm hoping I can do that with the upcoming acoustic shows he still has to announce.

[Kid Charlemagne]

Motherfucker, I've been waiting to hear "Lazy Flies" live for years.

[bobbie solo]

i wish the show had more Sea Change material, but it was still great.

This one too:

That's my favorite album. It's truly one of the most heartbreaking albums ever made.

Wow, new tracks are really good. Liking "Defriended" in particular. I haven't been especially sold on any of Beck's stuff since Guero, but the new album(s) seem promising.

[REPLICA]

I bought two copies of I Won't Be Long 12" a couple weeks ago, they are really nice singles. I really love Midnite Vultures and Sea Change. I didn't really like Modern Guilt all that much but I thought The Information was good.

"I want to get with you! And your sister, I think her name's Debra!" - YES!

I adore Midnite Vultures. "Sexx Laws" and "Nicotine and Gravy" were my jams as a 9 year old. The latter is still my favourite Beck song to this day.

OH MAN! "Nicotine and Gravy" is a great track, I also like "Peaches and Cream," "Milk and Honey," and of course, "Debra."

[thevoid99]

I love "Debra". That song is so hilarious but has so much soul.

[InsectGod]

It'd be hard to say which Beck album is my favorite, but I listen to Midnite Vultures the most, and have since I first listened to it. Such a solid album all around. I'm interested in hearing what he has in store for us this time around.

I think Midnight Vultures is one of his most under appreciated albums. Some amazing production, especially for the time.

Droppin' an old-school jam on your asses:

wrong post

[ninedead]

i wish i had been apart of the beck/flaming lips tour while back, but new music would be a dream! was just thinking about him the other day and wondering what happened to him. now i know and its good news as well.

[Magtig]

Beck released another new single, Gimmie. It can be purchased on his website in vinyl format and includes a 30 minute extended mix of the song (!!!).

That's so awesome. I probably first heard Midnite Vultures right around that age, too, after my mom bought the CD. It was definitely one of my childhood albums. I remember I would be in the car, daydreaming and imagining various characters (including Pokemon, lol) dancing to/singing the music.

Actually, it was the first Beck CD I ever heard, as far as I remember.

I had no idea that beck did three new songs for Sound Shapes until I was searching for more info on the new album on Wikipedia.

Here they are:
Cities:


Touch the People:


Spiral Staircase:


Bonus Video and my favorite cover anyone has done of David Bowie
(I'm surprised no one has mentioned this. I find it to be the most enchanting performance I have ever seen by an artist):

Really hoping that we get info on the 2 albums coming out soon...

[Nirvana23]

Beck debuted a new song live with the Philharmonic Symphony and it's beautiful/haunting

[Maximilian]

I dunno, I feel like it's too derivative of The Pyramid Song by Radiohead.

[45rpm]

Can't wait for the new album.

This is beautiful.

[Amaro]

I'm amping up... Beck season is approaching.

Defriended is amazing. Just saying.

I have a thing for Gimme and I Won't Be Long too.

(I realize these songs are standalone tracks and won't be on Morning Phase.)

[LaneSax]

Blue Moon in full, I like it!

[Magtig]

Beck has been saying that Morning Phase will be reflective of Sea Change (my favorite Beck album). Blue Moon seems to support that; what a great track. I'm really looking forward to this album.

Cool wee video.
