I always thought of "Novacane" as a reaction/response/answer song to the Beastie's "Sabotage", same crushing hard-rock-with-a-backbeat vibe

Ambient Police (sleeve), Saturday, 8 June 2019 01:14 (four years ago) link

The unkle remix of where it's at is absolute shite

Thank you so much Bee and One Eye Open!

The one I knew wouldn’t make it but I threw a ton of points at anyway was DERELICT. Love the creepy vibe, the beats, the lyrics.

(Fuck all y'all, Sea Change rules.)

Too bad "In a Cold Ass Fashion" is so obscure; it's a great patchwork of nonsense in the "Loser/Beercan" vein. Got a couple of my favorite non-sequitur lyrics: "And I'm trying not to look at Satan making love to a dishrag" and "Went to sleep, woke up in a coffin / Took out my eyeballs and put 'em in a condom."

thanks poll for finally getting me to listen to mutations my new favorite beck album

:)

imago, Saturday, 8 June 2019 14:44 (four years ago) link

likewise, stereopathetic soul manure is my next destination

imago, Saturday, 8 June 2019 14:45 (four years ago) link

oh lj listen to the twenty minute "gimme" if you haven't, i was kind of hoping it would place just for the opportunity

american bradass (BradNelson), Saturday, 8 June 2019 14:46 (four years ago) link

will hunt it down ty

imago, Saturday, 8 June 2019 14:48 (four years ago) link

btw alfred: "tropicalia" ends side one of mutations, at least on all official released versions of the lp. i was surprised too! ("diamond bollocks" and "runners dial zero" get their own 7-inch, which i thought was a nice touch)

american bradass (BradNelson), Saturday, 8 June 2019 14:53 (four years ago) link

I didn't expect my #2 "Outcome" to place but I did expect "He's a Mighty Good Leader" to show up somewhere.

"Hollow Log" seems like a good winner for One Foot In The Grave tho, even though I assumed "Asshole" was the consensus favorite.

billstevejim, Saturday, 8 June 2019 15:28 (four years ago) link

extended 'gimme' sure is one long, strange trip

imago, Saturday, 8 June 2019 15:30 (four years ago) link

Regarding Sea Change, most of the album doesn't place among my favorites except for "End Of The Day" (which for some reason I thought was titled "Nothing That I Haven't Seen Before") -- again, I assumed this was the obvious consensus standout.

billstevejim, Saturday, 8 June 2019 15:33 (four years ago) link

As much as I'd like to get upset over his signature song winning this, it always sounds fresh every time I hear it. Not nearly as annoying as "Smells Like Teen Spirit" winning the Nirvana poll.

billstevejim, Saturday, 8 June 2019 15:39 (four years ago) link

I thought the same thing re:Mighty Good Leader, seems like one of the essential tracks from one One Foot. But also very happy that Hollow Log wound up where it did

It's Beck's Don Juan: it can go for another 10 minutes, another 40 verses, or stop, it doesn't matter.

I don't know Beck that well so I didn't vote, but really enjoyed the rollout, images, and discussion. I have to express my puzzlement, though, that no one voted for my favorite Beck thing, the video for "Deadweight." Those first three Director Series DVDs, and Gondry's especially, seemed to come from an alternate universe where the '90s were an era of nonpareil pop culture creativity.

eatandoph (Neue Jesse Schule), Sunday, 9 June 2019 22:58 (four years ago) link

Deadweight would’ve ranked very high on my ballot but I haven’t really liked anything he’s done since Mutations and I don’t even really like that one much

brimstead, Monday, 10 June 2019 00:02 (four years ago) link

not sure if i want to do a review of the show, i will say this: his newer songs were the best songs in this environment for some odd reason. Cage the Elephant is not a good pairing for Beck as pretty much everyone came for them and not Beck.
