karate chop the prevailing garbage pailing

Wednesday, April 26th, 2006

From http://icv2.com/articles/home/8569.html:

Tokyopop will team up with Interscope Records to combine Beck and Beck. With every copy of BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad Vol. 4, Tokyopop will include an online access code to get Go It Alone, an exclusive remixed track from the musician Beck’s 2005 Guero.

The track will be downloadable from the Tokyopop website.

So the question is, will this actually be an exclusive (=new) remix, or something we’ve heard before? If any of you are fans of both Becks, please buy this and let us know!

just like a movie with no screen

The 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.

The Shynola-directed ‘E-Pro’ video has been nominated for, and lost, a 2006 British Animation Award. Apparently the nominations were announced in late February and the awards handed out March 9.

The winner in the Best Music Video category was Subtle’s ‘Swan Meat’ (sidenote: you may remember that Subtle remixed ‘Farewell Ride’ for Guerolito). Mum’s ‘Will The Summer Make Good For All Our Sins’ was also nominated (and also lost). The public choice winner for Best Music Video was the Gorillaz’ ‘Feel Good Inc’.

grind the whining bastards in their tracks, new jack baby

Nacho 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.

a sick stolen gift

Thursday, March 9th, 2006

Your good friend Ross Harris just posted a beatiful video (or camcorder meditation) he made for ‘It’s All in Your Mind’. Check it out at youtube and vimeo. I really like this!

While you’re at it, check out this fan-made IAIYM video at youtube.

blowin like a smoke machine

Thursday, March 2nd, 2006

mellow_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!
