A new “show” of live music is being made available on iTunes as a podcast (or a vpodcast, I guess). The music is all produced by Nigel Godrich, and stars many of his friends. The first episode consists of Thom Yorke and The White Stripes. Beck filmed his contribution when he was in London earlier this year, and I believe it is the second episode (along with Jamie Liddell). The first episode launches soon. More info:

Rhino Records’ latest Rhinocast features an interview with keyboardest extraordinaire Roger Joseph Manning Jr. Check out the extended interview here.
Sound Scene Revolution has a podcast up with an 8-Bit interview. 8-Bit, of course, made the Ghettochip Malfunction remix of Hell Yes and the Gameboy/Homeboy remix of Qué Onda Guero. They discuss the Beck mixes about 2/3 of the way through the interview.
This interview is most definitely not safe for work. At all.
ITunes has a new 30-minute free interview about Guerolito. It consists of a series of interviews with different remixers who were involved with the release (Mario C, Doseone from Subtle, etc.).
This is the link to the US ITunes store if you would like to download it. If you’re in another country, just do a search. It is pretty interesting, and gives history to how Beck found remixers, how they were inspired to remix, how they went about remixing, etc.
