Beck’s Grammy-winning album bores the snot out of me. Should I blame that on his involvement with Scientology, the Ribisi family, or the musty rollneck cardigan that went to his brain?
I think you can blame it on the fact that it was time to remake Sea Change, which was approximately as dull, only with better string arrangements. When he decides to remake Odelay, for example Guero, the results are significantly more satisfying. In fact Guero might be a better Odelay than Odelay.
Side note: When Colbert interviewed Beck about this album he asked “Why Beck sad?”
Soooo, to the point of The Grammy. Firstly Grammys are pointless, worthless and a joke. This we all know. Given that, I look at this Grammy as the equivalent of The Oscar’s Lifetime Achievement Award. An Oscar given to someone that has never won one and should have.
I can tell you guys are all using the English language to communicate. I speak English with great facility, but I still have no idea what you are talking about, or why I should care.
Sorry, so already known. And so disappointing. I believe they met through Scientology as both of their families are very active in the church.
ladymiss: “already known”…WRONG! BOOM, in your face!
I hardly know who Beck is, and I’ve never heard of her. Scientology, I’ve heard of. Is she somebody?

Hey, hubbie working for a high school gets me access to all sorts of teen bullshit in a nanosecond.
And if Marissa is a scientologist, it means Giovanni is, too. Double rats.
I think you can blame it on that stupid hat he’s wearing on the cover.

So how would he out-mellow Mellow Gold?
GREAT points, geo!
I agree!
He could re make this:

And if he put Beyonce on it, it would be sure to win a Grammy.
Contrary to Mr. Mod, I like Morning Phase. Granted, it is not nearly the most engaging Beck stuff and not nearly my favorite Beck version.
Though I really LOVE this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df3o7FC_DcQ (hat, nor hairy chested keyboard player, withstanding).

And Sea Change is like Melody Nelson, except with introspective lyrics in English, instead of pervy lyrics on French.

Ah well. I’ll cut her plenty of slack just for being in Dazed & Confused.
