Beck - Morning Phase

he used to be when he was young. now he just looks scrawny & bug-eyed

Yeah he was dreamy 20 yrs ago

Still dreamy gawd what do you want a 45 year old to look like

less gaunt

Beck hasn't gotten crazy enough with the Cheese Whiz in his dotage for some, apparently.

Answering the Twitter hashtag mystery "#whoisbeck," the veteran indie rocker not only came away from the 2015 Grammy Awards ceremony with the coveted album of the year trophy, but his exposure on the show (and additional media fallout from Kanye West’s photobombing of his moment) helped fuel a whopping 483% increase in sales of his winning album “Morning Phase.”

The album shot from No. 39 a week ago on sales of 12,200 copies to No. 8 as about 71,000 copies were snapped up following the Grammy telecast.
Historically, artists featured in the show’s high-visibility performance slots often fare better than many who actually win awards, but in this case, Beck benefited from taking one of the big four category awards (record, album, song and new artist) and got additional camera time in his joint appearance with Coldplay’s Chris Martin...

Wow that doesn't sound like too many extra sales.

It's 2015, less folks are buying albums and cds

i'm more surprised that 12k ppl bought it the week before to be honest

An increase of 50,000 tho, I wonder how many people watched the Grammys and how much money was spent on it and LOL

This is very heartwarming:

This @beck album is incredible

well I just received this as a present

why is Beck so sad

the gentrification of silverlake?

forced back into Scientology, had to dump his old GF, hasn't cheered up since Sea Change

the happy party vibes of guero always seemed forced to me (still some jams on it)

Why is his voice auto tuned on this audiophile album?

I liked the Oar cover album a lot, and I have plenty of love for earlier sad Beck but this just sounds so flaccid and mopey, the pace of everything is near glacial, like its goal is to help me take a nap

i remember i used to fall asleep listening to sea change when it came out - i felt that was one of its great attributes!

hey I like naps too

not really what I want/expected from Beck, there's better nap-inducing music out there for me. the industry love for this album is based more on industry politics than anything else bu it's still weird to think that anyone would rate this sleepy fairly generic and hook-free album ALBUM OF THE YEAR I mean waht

was pretty sure the endgame of the whole beck / kanye kerfuffle this year was going to be kanye embracing scientology
