Beck 2 Beck

Happy Holidays and more specifically happy final day of Hanukkah! It's the Beck 2 Beck Holiday Special and we're covering Beck's Hanukkah song "The Little Drum Machine Boy" as well as name dropping some of our favorite holiday songs, no matter how badly they've aged (we're looking at you, Bono!) Courtney reports back about the Gorillaz livestream that featured a Beck hologram (yeah you read that correctly). In the spirit of the holiday season we argue maybe more than we have ever argued.

Courtney and Zach put on their thinking caps this episode and actually get thoughtful! They analyze the lyrics of Rental Car form Guero and Bottle of Blues from Mutations as well as look at folk music and blues inspiration on Beck's career on the whole. Beck's facial hair is discussed at length and a ranking of Beck's albums by a website gives some partial Beck Talk Back Talk.

This we cover the very boppy Gold Chains from the Deluxe Edition of Odelay, Courtney is accused of being Beck boomer because she doesn't love Hyperspace the song from Hyperspace the album, and Pharrell is taken back to very early AD. We also talk about our Spotify Wrapped stats, the Grammy nominations, and Beck's cameo in the new video for The Strokes song "The Adults Are Talking".

It's the first time we've ever posted an episode LATE! AH! We cover the very boppy Gold Chains from the Deluxe Odelay and Zach gives a graphic lyric by lyric breakdown of the title track from Hyperspace. We also talk about our Spotify Wrapped stats, the Grammy nominations, and Beck's cameo in The Stroke's new video.

Oh, we're eating good this episode! We cover one of Courtney's all time favorites, Ramshackle from Odelay as well as Beck's collab with Cage the Elephant, Night Running. Zach and Courtney dream up a collab between Beck and Jack Black that may or may not incorporate somebody purple and a frightening visitor comes to the "studio".

What is this, Beck 3 Beck? No, Black Lake Morning is instrumental and we aren't musically intelligent enough to critically analyze it, so we threw in an extra song as a bonus! Yes, we FINALLY got a song from Hyperspace (YES we technically covered this exact song LAST WEEK). We dream up what the Beck 2 Beck movie would look like and start a campaign to get on the Eric Andre show.

We've got another guest and she's a REAL musician! Wow! We discuss the Valley of the Pagans video, show Deirdre the evolution of Beck's career, and play a round of "Beck Fact or Fiction" to test Deirdre's knowledge of our short king. This episode holds the record for most bleeps EVER.

Make sure to follow Deirdre on twitter (@deirdresmusic) and instagram (@deirdrecrean) and look out for New Years EP coming out on November 20th!

We recorded this on a very cursed week night and boy does it show! We (barely) talk about another fun track from The Information and throw it back to Mellow Gold with Pay No Mind. Zach plays a trick on Courtney involving ear cleaners and we conjure up our dream Thanksgiving group. Truly sorry if this was a weak episode y'all, it's crazy right now!

It's Halloween and we really did not plan anything! Zach supplies us with some spooky sounds and we learn that the scariest thing of all is the British. We take it back to Mutations and FINALLY cover a song from Sea Change! We gush over Beck's collab with Gorillaz and Courtney attempts and at the end of the day fails to explain Britpop feuds she hasn't engaged in since she was 15.

Wow, spotify truly does not want us to listen to any Beck song from after the year 2014! This week we talk Milk and Honey from Midnite Vultures and Asshole from One Foot in the Grave. We begin an epic tale of Beck, bards, and Shania Twain merch using AI Dungeon!
