I do not think that Beck is depressed, and that he simply naturally often times comes up with a sort of dark and grim lyrical standpoint. “Walls” is a song that displays this mood, as do most of the cuts on the album. Beck does sound old, it is sometimes difficult to decipher […]

The Olivia Tremor Control - Dusk At Cubist Castle
Not only one of my favorite albums of 1996 (if not my very favorite) also one of my favorite albums of the decade. It’s a truly epic psychedelic masterpiece that is not known by nearly enough people. I feel like the pied piper for The Olivia Tremor […]

Somehow I had missed this video for Beck’s “1000 BPM” when it first came out. It’s one of my favorite tracks on 2006’s The Information and this video is sweet. Check it out:

Is he attempting Sunshine Pop in the 21st century, you know, like The Turtles or something? Beck and sex don’t go together, as he works best while being cryptic […]
