the_gloaming09 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 New Beck Songs to Be Included on Scott Pilgrim Deluxe Soundtrack So Beck wrote a bunch of songs for Michael Cera's fictional band Sex Bob-Omb that will be featured in the forthcoming flick Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World (out August 13) as well as its soundtrack (out August 10). Beck wrote and played the tunes, but actors in the movie do the singing. But, as the Playlist reports, Beck penned a whole slew of songs for the movie that didn't make the cut. Three of those grungy, lo-fi, Times New Viking-inspired, Beck-sung tracks, "Summertime", "Threshold", and "Garbage Truck", are available on the deluxe edition of the soundtrack. In fact, one of them, "Summertime", is available on iTunes right now. (The Sex Bob-Omb versions of "Summertime" and "Threshhold" also appear on the soundtrack.) In other Scott Pilgrim news, check out our recent interview with Brendan Canning of Broken Social Scene, who also wrote music for the film. In other Beck news, he's in the middle of his quest to collaborate with every worthwhile musician on earth right now. http://pitchfork.com/news/39509-new-beck-songs-to-be-included-on-iscott-pilgrimi-deluxe-soundtrack/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Myshkin Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 So I'm on the hunt for music. Even though he's in my top 5 I only just bothered to get Golden Feelings and a few other rarities aside from Soul Manure and One Foot in The Grave which I already had. Now I wanna find the live show he did in Austin with the Flaming Lips. Can any one help me out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I know they have it on youtube, but that's about it. also have you checked out more of his b-sides? (there's quite a few from some singles he did), or also taking part of some compilations (like looking at my iTunes he did "True Love Will Find You In the End" a song by Daniel Johnston) edit: I'm also surprised how quiet this thread is. It doesn't seem there are too many beck fans on the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Myshkin Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I might just rip it off there. But no, I'm missing b-sides. They should be easy to get. His cover of TLWFYITE is nothing on the original. People on this forum have no taste so that's no surprise, there was a Led Zep album recently.

Getting the deluxe edition of Odelay and The Information helped. Also my brother got a few singles that have b-sides. I can try to help you find them. I haven't heard the original. yeah yeah yeah... whatever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Myshkin Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Youtube the original, then 'Some Things Last A Long Time' by Danny J. Sweet! I should be able to torrent. Would rather do it illegally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 bump... Beck did a collaboration with Adam Sandburg. http://www.somekindofawesome.com/journal/2011/5/3/listen-the-lonely-island-attracted-to-us-feat-beck.html Also is he doing any new music soon? It seems like he hasn't done anything in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashleyMN28 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Favorite Beck song? I love Beck (not as much as Coldplay! lol) and wanted to see if there are any other Beck fans out there. If you like him, what is your favorite song of his?? I adore Lost Cause. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Myshkin Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 He'll be remembered within the right circles for a long time I hope. I really think he'll become a legend. Consistently releasing at least good albums since his very first when he was meant to be a one hit wonder. When he's done, in a few decades people will see just how much he created and just how varying and genre bending it all was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 ^I agree... I find him to be very overlooked. What I've always loved about Beck was how every album is different from the next... it makes listening to him more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Myshkin Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I kinda wish I could have got into him when I was about 18. I was brought up on him so it seemed kind of natural for a person to be able to mix up all the stuff he manages to. I can't help but think it would have blown my mind even more if I'd had a more sheltered musical upbringing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrk Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Kinda old news, but Beck has announced that his newest album will arrive in the form of Beck Hansen's Song Reader, meaning you won't know what the songs sound like unless you put some work in. What is a song reader, you ask? It's an experimental collection of individual pieces of sheet music. In this case, none of the 20 songs have been recorded or released before. It'll be available through indie publishing house McSweeney's in December of this year. "The songs here are as unfailingly exciting as you'd expect from their author, but if you want to hear 'Do We? We Do,' or 'Don't Act Like Your Heart Isn't Hard,' bringing them to life depends on you," reads the McSweeney's site. That is correct, you'll have to literally play the songs yourself. In addition to the sheet music, the package will include original art from an array of visual artists across 109 pages. Readers' and select musicians' versions of the song will later be featured on the McSweeney's site. http://pitchfork.com/news/47436-beck-announces-details-of-his-song-reader/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christa42 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 This article is dated Feb 11, but is sounds like it was written before the Grammy Awards http://www.movienewsguide.com/musicians-pays-tribute-to-becks-album-watch-video/52237 Musicians Pay Tribute to Beck’s Album Several musical acts are going to YouTube to pay tribute to the musician and his album “Morning Phase,” which is nominated for Album of the Year in the Grammys. It went up against the albums of British singer Sam Smith, music producer Pharell and global pop star Beyonce. Each artist went and covered Beck’s song from his album and, at the same time, fiddled with the songs melodies harmonies with the different use of their voices, guitars, a cappella and a lot more. The musician is set to play a collaboration with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin at Sunday’s Grammys. Most likely they’ll play one of the songs from “Morning Phase,” which made news last year upon its release. Beck made the album free to stream for all airline passengers who were using the Inflight Internet feature of Gogo. We have some of the artists’ covers that you can listen to and then go ahead and listen to original versions. For those of you that feel that some of the songs ring a lot of bells, Beck has said that “Morning Phase” is sort of sequel to his album “Sea of Change” that was released in 2002, which was also covered by other artists.

arushofjacktothehead Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 He is a true artist who creates masterpiece after masterpiece. Just picked up Odelay recently on CD, and I'm on my way to completing my Beck collection. My fave album of his is either Sea Change or Modern Gulit, and I adore Orphans and The Golden Age. Also why does the end of Sunday Sun remind me of Nirvana:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolverwin Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Anyone here listening to Beck? I like his new album --- Colors. Seems like he is enjoying every bit of it, a marriage between Midnite Vultures and The Information. Favorite track hands down is Seventh Heaven.
