Sure, everyone likes a little drama at Festivals. You don't go to a festival with ~50,000 plus people without expecting something frisky. And we also expect a bit of beginner hang-ups coming from the production companies running the mammoth festival newcomer Outside Lands. But we were really dumfounded and depressed when we looked at the map to see that BECK, the infamous and raucous live musician, was set to play in a small stage on the outer bank of the festival groun...

After catching my breath and recovering from my little death, I had a little rhythmic leap in my step, so I reached for my Deluxe Edition of Odelay. I threw it on and skipped immediately to Derelict. I've had this song in my head ever since I discovered the brilliant Beck outtake Sorrow. Beck rules. I so connect with him now a days. Probably even more than I did in the nineties. He's like a spaced out-outsider. Someone who's unafraid of being eccentric and eclectic. He... MORE

Beck's major label debut Mellow Gold introduced his eccentric sound to the masses in 1994, but it was his sophomore release, Odelay that would lead the alt.rock genre in a new direction. Originally released in 1996, the Grammy-winning Geffen honors Odelay 12 years later with a deluxe re-issue on January 29, 2008. The new 2 CD Deluxe Edition will feature two previously unreleased songs taken from the original recording sessions, as well as 16 b-sides and compilation track... MORE

Beck Odelay Deluxe Edition 8 out of 10 Beck is the Renaissance Man of modern music, the Madonna of the rock world: crossing genres, mixing styles, and reinventing himself from album to album. Unlike Madonna, however, he still maintains an underground appeal that's part slacker and part pretty-boy. As an artist, would you rather be eulogized by the masses for something that has a shiny, polished veneer but doesn't fully reflect your artistic potential; or would you... MORE

Beck fans who ran out and purchased one of the new Odelay reissues might be socially ostracized in the future. That is, if you have been memorizing the lyrics in the liner notes. It turns out that the production people inserted lyrics they found on the web as "placeholders" that were supposed to be swapped out for authorized lyrics before going to print. Only, they never got replaced. If this makes the first pressing of the reissue more valuable, then it won't matter w... MORE

...Funky Friday + an album review = a "free-view"...to some, what I'm about to say might be a day late and a dollar short but if you read me, I check my tunage at my own pace (for maximum absorption) and try to stay away from whatever the herd is bum-rushing because 95% of the time, when you pull back and look at the big picture, the herd are a fickle lot...I also believe that 98% of the people who use percentages to prove a point are full of shit...which brings me to an a...
