WHAT THE FRACK MAN

where are the other tour dates??? BECK IM TRYING TO PLAN MY LIFE AROUND YOU PLEASE BE MORE CONSIDERATE AND WHY DONT YOU RETURN MY CALLS

[fatbastard]

Beck is playing the Santa Barbara Bowl Thursday the 24 of May, with special guest Devendra Banhart. Tickets on sale Saturday, February 18th at 11am.

[sbessiso]

lol yes I know. I have tickets to that show

im talking about the OTHER CA dates (assuming there will be more?!?)

[TallGuyCM]

I never realized until randomly hearing it just now how much of an homage to Serge Gainsbourg's Histoire de Melody Nelson "Paper Tiger" is. Fantastic. It was like hearing the song for the first time again.

[bmack86]

I'm convinced that they sampled the strings, but maybe not.

[zircona1]

modern guilt tour was very hit or miss.

Yes. I've seen him 3 times, the last time was at the ACL Fest in '08 and it was OK, but I was expecting something wild and great and it was just - kind of underwhelming.

Hope he announces some more tour dates for this year.

[TallGuyCM]

New song from the Jason Segel movie Jeff Who Lives at Home, and it does not disappoint.

[fikus222]

It's very Sea Change-esque, I like.

[sbessiso]

damn its pretty good

[Gribbz]

Such a great set. I had so much fun.

[icedKeg]

Beck raps (very well, unsurprisingly) and co-produces:

[knytt]

Beck at Sasquatch was so much fun. "Mutherfucker" was just surreal with Jack Black rolling around the stage and I think "The Golden Age" was just about the prettiest thing of the whole festival.

And that CG song is pretty damn awesome until Glover starts rapping..

[ods..]

I like it. Beck should make a hip hop album.

[cutterbutter]

You could make a pretty solid compilation going through his catalog and picking out the songs with that hip hop side of this. I may do this.

[icedKeg]

Beck should make an album, period. Any rumors of this? New songs are popping up on soundtracks, etc, but he's not playing anything new at his live shows, right? It's been too long.

Ranking Beck albums is even more pointless than usual since they rise or fall depending on what you're in the mood for. Although Odelay is always at the top. Always.

[sbessiso]

Odelay doesn't do it for me like all of you guys.

[SoulDischarge]

You're way more into Guero than a lot of us too. I guess it's just whichever of the two you connected with first. Although Odelay is clearly superior in every way.

[icedKeg]

I did this while inebriated last night and it took nearly an hour. They do rise and fall some depending on mood, sure, but I'm pretty certain that, looking at it the morning after, my final answer (with all things considered) is posted above.

To be fair, I never really connected with Guero which sort of turned me off for the next two.

Ranking anything is pointless
