The Cover Version - Beck's Record Club do INXS' "Never Tear Us Apart"

If I hurt you, I'd make wine from your tears ... 

From  Beck's newest Record Club outing, comes a reinterpretation of the Kick album from Ozzy stadium monsters INXS. Yeah the band that consisted of effeminate perv Mike Hutchence and, erm, erm, a bunch of other Ozzy guys!  ..... And, remember kids, erotic-asphyxiation is bad, OK?! As is banging douchebag Bob Geldof's mad MK'd missus!

Wasn't expecting much from this thing, given the insipid, saccharine nature of the original material, but it's surprisingly good! The best resurrection since Lazarus! ... Who knew there were some decent ditties in the original overblown crock!!

Yap it's Record Club No. 4 and joining in this time are three of Beck's favourite bands - Liars, Annie Clark and Daniel Hart from St. Vincent and Sergio Dias from the legendary Brazilian band Os Mutantes. Also here is RC veteran Brian Lebarton, just back from the Charlotte Gainsbourg tour.

The record covered this time is the 1987 blockbuster Kick by INXS. The record was chosen by fellow Aussie, Angus from the Liars.

It was recorded in a little over 12 hours on March 3rd, 2010. Apparently, it was "an intense, hilarious, daunting and completely fun undertaking."

Here lil' non-orphan Annie from St. Vincent takes lead vocal with a beautiful low key vocal interpretation (laid down in just one take!) of the album's OTT super-ballad super-smash "Never Tear Us Apart." All over lush delicious strings! Love it!!! ... Yap, galaxies better than the overblown original!

The Video: Charlotte Gainsbourg [with Beck] - Heaven Can Wait (2010)

She’s hiding, she’s hiding on a battleship of baggage and bones. There’s thunder, there’s lightening in an avalanche of faces you know. Heaven can wait and hell’s too far ago. Somewhere between what you need and what you know. And they’re trying to drive that escalator into the ground.

An very interesting recent release this, a musical collaboration between Cinema Sweetheart Charlotte Gainsbourg and indie favorite Beck. The new Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood - except on acid!!

Sure as f*ck beats the crap outta Cinema Sweetheart Scarlet J's crazy excursions into music!

IRM is Gainsbourg’s first album in nearly four years, following 5:55, which was released in 2006 to much acclaim, selling half a million worldwide.

Over the course of a year and a half of writing and recording together, Beck’s role grew to encompass all aspects of the creative process: He wrote all of the music and co-wrote the lyrics and produced and mixed the recording. Beck brought in many of his regular collaborators, including Joey Waronker and James Gadson on drums, Brian LeBarton on keyboards, David Ralicke on trumpet and Beck’s father, David Campbell, for string arrangement.

IRM, says Gainsbourg, "is the result of trying “very different things.” The songs, she adds, “are all in different styles but one proper album.”

Following the release of the monotone, electronica/industrial workout of the title track a few weeks back, Gainsbourg and Beck released this fine song as the second single.

“Heaven Can Wait” is not a tribute to that underwhelming Warren Beatty movie, no it's a gorgeous, slithering, piano-driven piece of perfect pop calling to mind late Beatles - a song as addictive as Pringles sprinkled with cocaine!

Heaven can wait and hell’s too far ago ... indeed!

Replete with a wonderful demented video! Apparently directed by a resurrected Luis Bunuel with aid from David Lynch along with Gary Busey and Joaquin Phoenix! ... Love it!

Lotsa lovely Sweet Charlotte ... MMMMMMM!

It's even got Tiger Woods being driven in a speeding golf cart by a pink elephant! Man, this kinda reminds me of a trip I had during my last sojourn in Amsterdam!

Beck - Chemtrails (2008)

Beck - Chemtrails (2008)

All signs and sources point to Beck dropping his feverishly anticipated Modern Guilt LP in rushed, Raconteurs style. As reported, the album features the inaugural studio partnership between Beck and Danger Mouse, a Cat Power vocal, and according to the Rolling Stone advance listen we posted, it has an "overall 1960s British vibe" with early Pink Floyd in the mix. "Chemtrails" bears out the reference some, BeckMouse keeping it spooky with pitch-bent organs, dryly unaffected bass guitar, vocals in the moan-y register, and powerhouse drumming from Joey Waronker.

You can hear 90 seconds of it right now at beck.com by mousing-over the jukebox in the upper-right. Groovy, haunted, all of that. We like it.

Beck - Odelay (Deluxe Edition - 2008)

Beck - Odelay (Deluxe Edition - 2008)

Odelay is surely Becky's meisterwerk! Every man and his dog bought this one when it first came out a decade ago.

My dog bought it and for a while he loved it. But then got kinda tired of it and buried it in the garden!

On January 29, 2008, Odelay - Deluxe Edition was released. The two-disc set contains the original album, plus 19 b-sides, remixes and previously unreleased songs. The liner notes feature complete lyrics and artwork as well as an essay from Thurston Moore and the transcript of 15 high school students interviewed by Dave Eggers.

Strangely enough, an officially released Odelay era rarity, "Diskobox", was not included on the deluxe edition for unknown reasons. It was also rumored prior to the release of the deluxe edition that the Odelay sessions version of "Debra" (later re-recorded for Midnite Vultures) would be included, but it is not featured here.

The Deluxe Edition of Odelay also includes some changes to the original album, including an extended "Sissyneck," an altered "New Pollution" introduction, and a more explicitly double-tracked vocal on "Hotwax."[2]. No official explanation for these changes has been mentioned. Additionally, some of the bonus tracks on the Deluxe Edition appear to be from lossy (e.g. MP3) sources (Specifically "Deadweight" and "Clock").

Beck - Modern Guilt (2008)

Beck - Modern Guilt (2008)
320kbps — 33:40 min — 77,2 MB

Beck's new album, Modern Guilt, which was produced by Danger Mouse and also features the great Cat Power.

Beck's new album Modern Guilt, produced with Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton, will be released July 8, 2008.

The new album contains 10 new songs, and with the exception of last year's Grammy-nominated, digital-only single "Timebomb", Modern Guilt is the first new material Beck has written since the prolific stretch that produced 2005's platinum Guero and 2006's universally acclaimed The Information.

Modern Guilt is a tightly assembled group of songs that range in lyrical tone from introspection and social commentary to off the cuff wordplay and lighthearted humor. Musically, the album's ten tracks vacillate between economy and experimentation, hybrid and pop classicism, while consistently manifesting Beck and Danger Mouse's shared interest in psych-rock, folk, electronic minimalism and orchestration.

Beck is about to embark on a tour of the UK and Europe, followed by a number of US headline and festival appearances, culminating in Beck's biggest hometown headline show to date, September 20, 2008 at the Hollywood Bowl.

Tracklisting

01 — 03:16 — Orphans
02 — 02:57 — Gamma Ray
03 — 04:40 — Chemtrails
04 — 03:14 — Modern Guilt

Beck - Odelay [Deluxe Edition] (2008)

Beck - Odelay [Deluxe Edition]
(January 29, 2008)

Odelay fuses the disparate strands of Beck's music -- folk, country, hip-hop, rock & roll, blues, jazz, easy listening, rap, pop -- into one dense sonic collage.

Songs frequently morph from one genre to another, seemingly unrelated genre -- bursts of noise give way to country songs with hip-hop beats, easy listening melodies transform into a weird fusion of pop, jazz, and cinematic strings; it's genre-defying music that refuses to see boundaries. All of the songs on Odelay are rooted in simple forms -- whether it's blues ("Devil's Haircut"), country ("Lord Only Knows," "Sissyneck"), soul ("Hotwax"), folk ("Ramshackle"), or rap ("High 5 [Rock the Catskills]," "Where It's At") -- but they twist the conventions of the genre. "Where It's At" is peppered with soul, jazz, funk, and rap references, while "Novacane" slams from indie rock to funk and back to white noise

With the aid of the Dust Brothers, Beck has created a dense, endlessly intriguing album overflowing with ideas. Furthermore, it's an album that completely ignores the static, nihilistic trends of the American alternative/independent underground, creating a fluid, creative, and startlingly original work.

From Rolling Stone:

On his early records, Beck made it all sound so easy, people fell for the idea he wasn't trying very hard. He was happy to play the role of a musical innocent — just a blond surfer-poet dude with a guitar and a dazed grin, the happy-go-lucky Snoopy to Kurt Cobain's Charlie Brown. Now that he's matured, and revealed in his music what a misery goat he is, we can appreciate how much imagination went into Odelay. After his 1994 indie single "Loser" accidentally crashed the mainstream, Beck realized he liked it up there and decided to ham it up with a shameless pop record. So for Odelay, he hooked up with the Dust Brothers to play around with punk, hip-hop, acoustic folk, bossa nova, Latin soul, mainstream R&B and line-dance country — there's as much Babyface as Bob Dylan on this record, and as much Billy Ray Cyrus as Biz Markie. The grooves are so funny, Beck had fans rolling in the aisle before he opened his mouth.

On this two-disc deluxe edition, the greatest moments still come from the original album: "Where It's At," "Jack-Ass," "Lord Only Knows," "Hotwax." But the rarities and B sides are so good, they'd add up to Beck's third- or fourth- best album on their own. "Electric Music and the Summer People" is one of his best; "Gold Chains" and "Inferno" are worthy outtakes; "Burro" has the album's best song, "Jack-Ass," sung in Spanish with a mariachi band. It flows into a summary of Nineties rock & roll wiseassery, a sonic version of the sensibility that would turn into Johnny Knoxville and Owen Wilson. "Hotwax" was never a hit, but it still sounds like Beck's theme, because it means (among other things) stolen music — the sound of a very shrewd kid stealing his way onto the radio like a burglar in broad daylight.
