Beck asked RDJ to produce an album for him in 1998

Mmm some mutations

midnight vultures is the only beck i really like, apart from that broken drum remix

maybe because it's beck at his silliest

[Amen Warrior 118]

Can anyone find that really old interview with beck where the interviewer asks what is real name is and he just takes off his shoe and throws it at the wall.

And the interview nods and goes "right on" or something like that

I knew there were other genuine reasons to dislike him. Scientolotit and shoe thrower.

That's actually a high definition capture of what 1994 really looked like.  I miss the soft static and noise that used to coat everything and everyone.  Felt pretty cool on our skins too.  

I think there's a good chance you will dislike Beck's music.  But skim out Odelay, Mutations, Midnight Vultures, and Sea Change to see if there is possibly a version of Beck you might like.  They are all quite different.

Thanks for the recommendations - 3 tracks into Mutations so far, quite liking it tbh. Some bossa nova stuff goin' on atm.

Mutations is great. All mid to late 90s and early 00s Beck is, imo.

[MisterE 44]

tv didnt look that bad, it's probably from a shitty vhs tape. also that's not really what i would call 'early mtv'

It wasn't Drew Barrymore, it was Leigh Limon, his girlfriend for like 8 years or something. She was the one who inspired him to make Midnite Vultures, one of his WORST albums ever.

That's his best album tho

Glad you think so, but...... I don't.

[perunamuussi 189]

One foot in the grave is his best album by a country mile

[marf 88]

I remember Beck coming out with Loser, and he was like 24 or 26 and it seemed so old to me at the time. Woah. 

[Zephyr_Nova 688]

Haha yeah it's weird seeing footage of bands you looked up to in your teen years being significantly younger than your current self.  Now everybody is babies except me.  I am old.
