Beck Lovers Unite! (1 Viewer)

[TaperJeanGirl]

Woohoo, lets all share our love of Beck and our excitement the pending release of new album 'Guero'! Personally, Sea Change is one of my favourite albums ever, so I don't think there'll be any topping of that but I am still rather excited! And the man is now a husband and father, so it's all coming along nicely for him, isn't it?

Haha, he had yet another son today. Cruise I think the name was. Weird, weird name...

 

[thejosiekiller]

yeah i like that song from the soundtrack of eternal sunshine...

thats a great song

 

[artfag]

guero isn't that good really, better than seachange though, which i found to be pretty boring

 

[TaperJeanGirl]

Haha, aww, I think that 'Cruise Hansen' sounds alriighhtt... hehe. Are you into his music? Got any albums etc? And yeah, "everybody's gotta learn sometimes' is a fabulous song! Beck does the whole depressing/heartbroken song thing extremely well!

 

[TaperJeanGirl]

Hmmm.. maybe Im just into the whole "boring/broken-hearted" musician thing! Haha. So far ive only heard Epro from the new album, and I quite like it. But then again, I really dont like Odelay, and I know that's the album that had all the rave reviews blah blah.... I did love Midnite Vultures though... Now, 'Debra' is a greeaat song!

 

[thejosiekiller]

i havnt listened to alot of his stuff to judge really

i just like that one song

 

[TaperJeanGirl]

Well, If you are interested, the album Sea Change is quite similar in style to that of Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometimes and even Mutations is kinda the same-ish. If you get a chance, let me know what ya think!

 

[thejosiekiller]

ok will do....

 

[Trippendicular]

Odelay's the best. I just watched the Beck episode of Futurama, speak of the devil

 

[thejosiekiller]

lol i have that episode too

 

[Trippendicular]

"I'm sorry that song doesn't usually last 3 hours but we got into a serious thing... and then I forgot how it ended"

 

[TaperJeanGirl]

Damn it, I have never seen that episode! Tom, you must lend it to me... And do you have all the Beck albums? I just have never been able to listen to the whole of odelay fully through...maybe i should give it another chance?

 

[thejosiekiller]

"apparently ive been making fine jewellery for years..."

""wheres the device that allows you to travel back in time?"
"under the steering wheel (pulls out bongs for you at home that dont know)"

 

[absolution*]

Gah.
Odelay = over-rated.
Sea-Change = disappointing
Mutations = fave

 

[TaperJeanGirl]

Hehe. Ok
Odelay = tres overrated
Sea Change = brilliant (Paper Tiger and Lonesome Tears especially)
Midnite Vultures = Great to dance to
Mutations = very good, a mix of the old and new
Guero = ? Apparently it's also a mix of Odelay/Sea Change, but i dunno...

 

[Trippendicular]

What's wrong with odelay?

 

[kittycat552]

yay Beck fans! I love Sea Change and my fave song would be Golden Age

 

[TaperJeanGirl]

Hehe, tiney225, I also love the golden age, such a good opener! Little One is a really good song too! ps. Yay Interpol!! You must be a Carlos fan, yes? I am currently trying to download interpol music videos, with varying degrees of success....
Plus, Tom, I can't really expain it that well, but Im guessing that it's because Odelay was one of the last Beck albums i got, so I kind of always felt that it was below par compared to the rest... also, its just so... white boy rap style... hehe.

 

[kittycat552]

i think carlos is quite fine... brooding, mysterious and gorgeous

you have great taste!
