Record Club: Skip Spence “Little Hands” from Beck Hansen on Vimeo.I seriously think Beck lives in my mind and/or my record collection and says to himself, “who would Colin like me to work with?

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 musi...

Tonight's bohemian lullaby is brought to you by Beck and the brilliant movie 'Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind'That movie means so much to me. Every time I watch it I am reminded that everyone I have ever had a relationship with, either as a friend or a significant other, has left an impression on me. And no matter how badly some of these relationships ended, I would NEVER 'erase' the memo...
