for the record the line on “beercan” is “I quit my job blowin leaves,” probably my favorite moment in the song

I've heard a couple of the most recent singles on the radio and darned if they don't sound more or less like Cut Copy.

four years pass...

Tomorrow's MSG show with Phoenix is substantially undersold - secondary market seats as cheap as $30 (including all fees!) on TM and Stubhub. I wonder if they'll slash the unsold seats tomorrow by half or simply close the top section and move everyone down?

It’s like beck decided on 12/31/99 to suck from then on

Every album up to The Information is really good (though even The Information feels weighed down by a ton of filler on the back end - he should've capped that one at a lean ten tracks for a solid album).

Modern Guilt does nothing for me, but others seem to think it's all right. Morning Phase doesn't really add anything new to his body of work, but it's a fine album. Colors is disposable but enjoyable fluff. The last one does nothing for me. Not sure if he'll ever surprise us with a really good album again, but he still puts on a good show.

separate beck poll for everything post sea change. i'd guess he's gotten that weezer old v. current fandom at this point.

His vocals on "Sea Change" are so dreary that I find it hard to listen to the entire album.

I'd buy the shit out of a Mellow Gold deluxe edition thingie with bonus rare and compilation tracks and assorted whatnot
