WOW BECK

>>71299334
Like wow

>>71299334
(((Beck)))

Tbf, he was born in the cult and tried (unsuccessfully) to get out.

>>71299345
Judaism or Scientology? ;)

>>71299345
>Jewish
>Scientologist
Christ, think of the connections he must have. Wouldn't be surprised if Beck's secretly running the entire world.

>>71299353
Same thing

I really hope the new album doesn't sound like Wow. Why didn't he release a whole album along the lines of 'I Won't Be Long' and 'Defriended'?

>It's my life, your life
>Live it once, can't live it twice
>So nice, so nice

Wtf I love Tom Cruise now!

>>71299393
Beck does what he's told.

>>71299334
Legitimately his first bad song. Though, I guess that's the entire point of it.

>>71299393
He said he wasn't originally going to release Wow, his kids convinced him to. So if he had that many inhibitions about releasing one song in an off year I doubt he would make a whole Album like Wow or that Flume song.

>"Okay, how can we further advance our plans for world domination today?"
>"Uh, have Beck put out an angsty, poppy, minimalist record called 'Modern Guilt'."
>"Should most of the songs be catchy?"
>"No."

>>71299434
Scientology taking control with their little (((Gamma Ray)))

>>71299434
Pretty much most of what Beck is supposedly about is lies.

I almost feel bad for the dude, but it's true.

>>71299433

Yeah — that's my hope. I love he's embracing more fun, energetic music again but I'd rather he went a little wild, rather than just doing some stale spoof of contemporary pop music.

>>71299451
Fuck beck and his (((producer)))

>>71299449

I've read a lot of interviews of his over the years. As much as he's been raised in a cult with a blatantly dumb cosmology, I really get the sense he's a million miles away from their doctrines. It's like a lot of Christians or Jews - they retain some of the culture and society of their church, but they shrug at the belief system more or less.

Beck is in such a fortunate position to be making music if you think about it, he can more or less put out whatever he wants and get away with it basically because he is Beck.

Jack White is someone who also seems to be able to do this aswell.

>>71299474
Well he accidentally got two artists killed.

>>71299451
Eric Andre killin it on bass

>>71299464

As far as I can remember, he's actually never worked with a Jewish producer. Nigel Godrich, The Dust Brothers, Dangermouse...

>>71299477
Please. Beck is basically a prisoner.

>>71299493
Wow was produced by a Jewish producer.

>>71299498
Can't miss what you don't know

>>71299487

The Sea Change artists? Pretty sure that got debunked. Wasn't the rumour he asked them to get him 'out'?

>>71299509
He tried to get out. Read about it. It's an insane story.

>>71299518
>debunked

Please. Ask anyone in the DC scene (in private).

>>71299507

Ah. Well that makes sense. I've been a fan of his for a long, long time and over the last 5-7 years (after he messed up his back and went a bit quiet for a while) I know he had some money worries. Made some bunk real estate deals, etc. Even as far back as 2004-2005, he occasionally made references to wanting a little more widespread recognition.

He certainly seems to have embraced the opportunity to ride on the wave of his Grammy win and do some shit that would appeal to the same Beyonce and Kanye fans who were like 'who da fuk is Beck'?

Hope he returns to form soon.

>>71299518
What apparently happened was that they were planning on making a movie togethor starring beck as a rock star controlled by the CIA.

>>71299532

Oh really? I know some newspaper did a follow-up, but I also know there are still murmurings and occasional enquiries about it on Beck fan sites and forums.

You know more about it, or just that there is more to know?

Well, I'll read it anyway

Can someone please explain what the fuck is going on in this thread? Since when was Beck a Jewish conspiracy?

>>71299648
He is Jewish but was also born into Scientology.

Long story short he tried to escape with the help of this couple and they ended up commiting a double suicide and Beck has since stated he 'puzzled' about what happened since.

There's way more than that but I haven't studied it a whole lot but if you google "Beck escaping scientology" or something the whole debacle should come up.

Giddy up, giddy up!

>in 37 posts we went from discussing Beck's latest single to the Judeo-Scientologist conspiracy of world domination

>>71299696
Getting down to the nitty gritty

>inb4 everyone in this thread commits suicide by two bullets to the back of the head

>>71299648
Read (between the lines) the vanity fair artice.
And they weren't just some couple. They were known DC artists and close friends of the guys in Fugazi, Make Up, Rites of Spring etc.

>>71299696
That means there's nothing to discuss about the single.
If no one has a strong oppinion for or against, the song must be bland, or planly bad.
This tells us more about the song than actual discussion.

>>71299721
Do Fugazi still do stuff

>>71299756
Individually, yeah, but they've been on hiatus since about 2002/3
