According to NME, Beck's new album will be called The Information (10/2/06). When I heard it was produced by Nigel Godrich, I was hoping for something along the lines of their previous collaborations, Mutations and Sea Change, but apparently this one is more hip-hop (ugh) . . . or is it? Beck says: "in a way it is and in a way it isn't". Uhm, okay. Hey, at least it's Beck, whose new website is fucking crazy (NME says there are 4 new songs here, but damned if I can find them).
Beck describes the new album cover as "modular", with stickers provided so you can design it yourself. Uhm, what about those people that are getting this on iTunes? Will he provide stickers for my mp3 player?
Beck is probably the most underrated singer/songwriter of his generation. Yeah, that's right. Just pick up the 10th anniversary edition of Odelay, and you'll see. If it ever comes out.
Meanwhile, here's the video for "Girl" from 2005, which is heavy on the MAD Fold-Ins. The all ighty ollar?
