Sigh, well……sure!!!This time it’s just Beck strumming away on the ol’ acoustic, doing his best Lou Reed impression. He does “The Black Angel’s Death Song” plenty of justice here.

So Club Nokia opened it's doors this past Sunday with back to back shows from, none other than "LA's Finest," Beck. I was extremely excited about this show, A) because Club Nokia was brand new and B) because I've seen Beck play numerous times and each show is different experience. The guy is one of the last true performers. So, needless to say, I was optimistic about the event and even more i...

If I were to ask my 17 year old self if I thought I would be seeing Beck again at 29 I don't know how I would answer that. This is embarrassing to say now, but the last time I saw Beck was at one of those Twisted Christmas shows when I didn't know any better. I remember, vividly, the lanky chap scurrying and fitting about on stage in a leisure suit. If I recall correctly he was supporting Od...

At first with Robert then by myself. I feel silly imagining it on my own, but I think Robert would say, "That's fine. even if the colors are wrong, you got the idea at least."My buddy swam in a lake once....

It looks like Beck's newly-formed Record Club wasn't enough to keep him busy. His official site is now boasting an interview section called Irrelevant Topics which aims to feature "conversations between musicians, artists, writers, etc. on various subjects, without promotional pretext or editorial direction." First up, Beck gets irrelevantly conversating with Mr. Tom Waits about L.A., "Best Of...
