When I saw the cover of the video I thought ‘is it Satan gave me a taco?’ and I was was delighted to see I was correct! 😊
I just love that entire song, the minimal guitar setup, the fever dream of hell that turns out just be regular rock’n’roll, the old lady beating him with a handbag…
Sexx Laws is my number one.
But I’d be remiss if I didn’t take this opportunity to mention Clap Hands, specifically these live “dinner table” versions. Shit is mesmerizing.
Surely it’s gotta be loser
The only song I’ll ever do in karaoke. I always dedicate it “to all the ladies.”
Profanity Prayers for me.
It’s a tie between Devil’s Haircut and Where It’s At.
I’m with you on Devil’s Haircut. Just a great example of what he does.
it’s also even better live. wish he released a live album at some point.
Probably “My Broken Friend”.
I love the entire Guero album, but E-Pro always gets my feet tappin
The entire Sea Change Album is fantastic but Lost Cause for when I’m feeling introspective
I don’t listen to or support any scientologist, including Beck
Beercan
If somebody asks me it’s loser, but this is my true answer
Not really a solo Beck song but I love the Chemical Brothers song Wide Open featuring him.
Truly depends on the mood I’m in.
If I want to get all funky its usually Mixed Bizness
If I want a chiller pop happy groove I go to No Distraction Midnight Vultures, Guero (as well as Guerolito for remixes) , and Colors are all solid for higher energy stuff.
If I want to just have the deep feels. I go for his cover of Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Yet a great deal of of the songs from Morning Phase and/or Sea Change can hit that spot as well.
However I can get lost in so many of his songs/albums. After the orchestral tour he did this year I’ve rediscovered his more orchestral stuff such as Lonesome Tears
Also if I’m just in a mood, I won’t lie. I’ll listen to MTV Makes Me Want to Smoke Crack.
Anyhow… Thank you for listening to my Beck Talk.
Everybody’s gotta learn sometime
