I was cleaning up my hard drive and found this video from just over a year ago. It’s my girlfriend Caryl reviewing The Information. Thought you guys might enjoy it.
UPDATE: To protect her reputation, I must clarify that she is sick not high.

As many of you might know, Beck remixed David Bowie’s song “Seven” a few years ago. As fewer of you might know, there were actually two separate Beck remixes of this that were released (eventually). As even fewer of you might know, Beck actually made three remixes but the third and final one has never been released except on internal record company promos and test CDs. Until now?
This coming Tuesday Columbia Records is releasing a ten-CD box set of David Bowie’s more adventurous work, expanding each of his recent Outside, Earthling, Hours, Heathen, and Reality albums with a second disc. More than 60 remixes and alternative versions pad the set, highlighted by his work with Trent Reznor, Beck and Moby.
Obviously this does not mention which Beck remix(es) will be included, but here’s hoping we finally get to hear that third remix.
UPDATE: No such luck, it just has the two that have already been released. Tracklist at Amazon.

Beck’s performance of ‘Nausea’ on SNL is going to be on a new CD. The disc, Live From SNL! Performances From Saturday Night Live is going on sale Sept. 9, exclusively at Target.
Two things bother me about this. First, September 9 is a crazy-ass date to release a CD; they normally come out on Tuesdays in North America. Second, ‘Clap Hands’ from the same show was way awesomer! That’s what should have been included, screw ‘Nausea’.
I also heard recently about some new SNL music DVD, but I’m too lazy to look for that right now. Anybody else hear about this? Is Beck on it?
Tracklist:
It’s been pretty quiet around here, so I thought I’d toss you guys a musical bone. Puritan Blister has an mp3 up of Beck’s cover of Skip James’s I’m So Glad. This is a really great song, especially if you like Beck’s bluesier stuff.
From Spin:
Elliott Smith, the troubadour behind haunting acoustic compositions such as “Needle in the Hay” whose life came to an untimely end in 2003, will be memorialized with Elliott Smith, a 200-plus-page photo book compiled by renowned photographer Autumn de Wilde, the same lady behind the lens of the cover shot from the singer/songwriter’s 2000 album Figure 8. The book, also containing Smith’s handwritten lyrics and interviews from Ashley Welch, Smith’s sister, Beck, Ben Gibbard, Chris Walla (Death Cab), and Matthew Caws (Nada Surf), among others, will arrive in November courtesy of Chronicle Books, alongside a five song CD of previously unreleased live material. The project’s proceeds will be donated to the SIMS Foundation to supply affordable mental health care to musicians, and Outside In, a Portland, OR-based homeless youth non-profit group…
De Wilde then recorded chats with the likes of Beck and Walla — whose discussion on being photographed will become the book’s forward — Caws, and Welch, as well as Mark Flanagan, owner of L.A.’s Largo Club, Neil Gust (Heatmiser), Sam Coomes (Quasi/Heatmiser), producers Rob Schnapf and Jon Brion, and Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie), the latter an individual who had never known Smith, but divulged the late musician’s deep influence unto his music.
Autumn De Wilde has worked with Beck on a number of occasions, I believe. I seem to remember her taking a whole bunch of photos for him and his albums. Anybody know which ones?
Beck will be in the special features of the DVD for the 1994 movie The Life and Times of Allen Ginsberg, which will be released July 17, 2007.
I haven’t listened to it yet, but DJ Moule has a new Beck mashup up on his site called Tribute To James (James Brown Vs Beck Vs Peter Gabriel Vs Fatboy Slim, featuring RHCP) (scroll down to find it; there are a few other Beck mashups on there too, actually).
Things have been pretty slow around here, so I thought you might appreciate the heads-up.
