Beck performed at the Liquid Room the other night (here are some photos). I haven’t read much in the way of English-language reviews, but I gather it was a good performance. Hambeck has a review up, in Japanese, along with a setlist (repeated below, Rosemint cafe has a slightly different one). Let’s hope a recording turns up, it seems awesome.

thanks to adrowe for the report. the Pixies cover is new for Beck, and was probably because The Pixies were also headlining the festival with Beck.

Beck is coming out of hiding this week to play a few gigs, here and there.  Well, mostly just here.  They’re all in southern California, and not all are open to the public.  On Wednesday Dec. 6, Beck is playing a private show for Yahoo, which will be on Yahoo! Music next month so everyone can watch it.  Yours truly will be there, writing a blog post about it for Yahoo.  :)  After that, there could be a fun secret club show but nothing’s set yet so if you’re around LA, keep your ears open.  Then Beck is playing KROQ’s annual Acoustic Christmas festival.  Then he is reportedly going to playing on Jimmy Kimmel’s TV show, so set your Tivos.

I’m going to try to do better updating this blog than I have, and I think Newt agrees to do the same.  I’ve just been really busy and Beck hasn’t been doing much since his tour ended.  But that shouldn’t stop us!
