Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006The Coachella movie (which is about, appropriately, the Coachella music festival) will be released on DVD April 18. Beck has played at Coachella three times (1999, 2002 and 2004) and appears in the movie.

Thursday, March 9th, 2006Nacho Libre update: iTunes and quicktime.com will soon feature “confessionals” from Jack Black shot during the filming of Nacho Libre. There will be two per week starting March 15 and going for two and half months. In a crazy case of meta-promotion, there is a trailer out advertising these confessionals, which you can download here.
How is this Beck related? Well, Beck is scoring Nacho Libre. An earlier trailer for the movie featured already featured a new Beck song and it is likely that some/all of these confessionals will also have some new Beck tunes. In fact, the new trailer linked above has a better version of the same song we’ve already heard, so that’s pretty darn exciting. Scratch that, I’m just stupid. This is a song that is in the other trailer, but not the Beck one. At least, I don’t think it’s Beck.
Confused? I’m sorry. I know that was poorly written, but I’m tired and can’t bring myself to edit it right now.

Thursday, March 2nd, 2006mellow_777 points us to an interesting comment by Ross Harris a.k.a. Rossangeles a.k.a. The Enchanting Wizard of Rhythm: Steve Hanft made a real video for Sissyneck that was never released. I sure hope this turns up somewhere.
While we’re talking about videos/films by Steve that we’d like to see, I’d also like to mention Computer Chips and Salsa. This was a tour documentary Steve made (or started to make) during the crazy-long Odelay tours. It would be awesome to see that too.
Also, I’m stoked about the Kill the Moonlight DVD release.
PS from Ghost: YouTube also has a video by Ross for “Funky Little Song” here.
UPDATE: Ross has posted another comment saying that the Sissyneck video was shot at the same time as the Where It’s At video, and is basically an extended version of the line dance scene. He also says that he’s gonna see if Steve has a copy of it, which hopefully means we’ll get to see this eventually!

Friday, February 24th, 2006So. Rolling Stone has a paragraph up on some Beck news. Here’s the exciting summary:
1. some shows with Radiohead this summer [we already know of Bonnaroo… will there be others?]
2. Odelay 10th Anniversary Deluxe edition [with original “Debra”! Slo-jam!] [I feel old]
3. finishing up the new Nigel Godrich record [with a song called “The Girl From RIP-anema”]
4. soundtrack/scoring the new Jack Black movie
