Nu Beck - sorry Seachange fans....

[ottokbre]

i like to make records loud by turning the big nob on my '70s Sansui block
why do they have to take that away from me?

[wing]

it'll make you deaf in ten years.

you'll see.

yeah, but not as fast as stabbing my ears with a fork will.

i know i may be shot, but i can't stand nigel's "sound". it's so convoluted (and i'm not talking waves IR, har har). what happened the the stereopathic beck? is he too complacent to be lo-fi? did scientology rob him of his analog roots??? did l. ron hubbard dianetically audit his 4-track into non-existence???? fuck that!

[foley]

Sea Change is an awesome break-up record. It's a bit convoluted, but I thought it was pretty honest.

Of course he does start one song with "there's a bluebird at my window ..."

Hmm.

[bad_dude_69]

musically, i think it's great -- and it totally is a breakup record (he wrote it after splitting with his long time hair stylist). sonically however, i find it uninspiring (except for the snare on paper tiger).

i downloaded most of the album about a week or so ago,before they took it down and i can say this....i have always been a huge beck fan,and loved everything he's done..this is no different. it harkens back to his loose limbed,stream of conciousness vibe of odelay, with a dash of vultures and i even hear some sea change in there as well. i think it's a perfect combo of all he's done before,and i think the album will be a great summer album...i gotta say though, my fave is mutations, that album kills me.

[I'm Painting Again]

You guys remember when he threw his shoe on MTV when Thurston Moore was Guest VJ..and he said "Im Kim Deal of Sonic Youth"..that was funny..

[JASIII]

I do remember that!!!! I wondered if anyone else had seen that!

[soundguy]

does anyone remember when beck was put in a headlock live on MTV at one of the music awards shows by some guy that just walked onto the set?

[Wilkesin]

It's really starting to grow on me with every listen...

I saw beck at Echo in LA the a couple of weeks ago. All new album stuff trotted out for a "secret" show. Pretty fun and groovy I'd say. Plus the show was free...

[jmiller]

WHA?! I LIVE here and i didn't get to go. I stood outside spaceland for an hour another time. That's it, i'm moving out of town...
