i love beck — he’s one of my top 20 musicians. i have all his cds. and i love how he continues to push the envelope on creativity. this live TV performance is an example. the only traditional instrument (other than beck’s voice) is single-string plucking on his guitar — very, very simple. and i dig that the percussions dudes aren’t just standing in a line a la stomp performances, but are sitting around a messy food and wine-littered communal meal.

i saw that on digg a while ago. very cool stuff! have you ever listened to “sea change”?
of course, josh! that was two cds ago for him!
nice tidy little line…
“I’ll take my broken bell, and make it ring like a million churches”
Actually the song is pretty redemptive. the vid only deepens it with the table…
thx
Awesome video! Used to be more into Beck a few years back. Thanks for the reminder to check him out again. His creativity is inspiring!
