Entries in Beck (3)
Way Gone Wednesdays: Edo. G
We've come full cirlce. Here's a fresh rhyme that gives a nod to a Beck classic. Edo. G on the mic - the legendary Pete Rock on the beat. Dig it.
Feel Good Fridays: Vacation
Sorry that I've been away for a week. Just had an incredible and much needed getaway with the fam. We hit Forecastle Festival in Louisville, KY and saw the likes of Beck, Jack White, Outkast, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Dwight Yoakam, Jenny Lewis, The Replacements and Spoon. So good. Then we headed to Nashville and got to tour Blackbird Studios (amazing). Then I spoke to the students at Blackbird Academy (thanks to my friend Mark Rubel for both of those). We hit up the Third Man Record Store as well as a ton of other really cool spots. Then we headed northwest to St. Louis. Museums, shopping, the zoo. Good times. I'm back home long enought to get a haircut, do some laundry and go to a wedding - then off to L.A. for another recording session at Warner Brothers. Pfew.
Feel Good Fridays: St. Vincent
For those not in the know, Beck Hansen has been curating a project called Record Club - which calls on a hodge-podge of musicians to sit down and re-record an album in one day. Some projects include The Velvet Underground's Nico, The songs of Leonard Cohen and Kick by INXS. Here's St. Vincent grooving through "Need You Tonight" - quite possibly my favorite INXS song. Feels good, right?
