Beck b-sides of awesomeness, newer songs
I’ve been saddened by the realization that I haven’t been that into the last two Beck albums. WHAT IS THIS MONSTROSITY? I love Beck! Yes! Or. I loved his stuff before the last two albums.
So…I went through a bunch of Beck singles and found all these b-sides that scream awesome. If you’re a big Beck fan, you’ve probably heard of them. If you’re just a casual fan and haven’t felt the need to scope out EVERY B-SIDE IMAGINABLE (hell, even I haven’t), you maybe not have heard of them. Here are two that I really like:
Corvette Bummer – from the UK “Loser” single. Kinda like “Soul Suckin Jerk”, one of my favorite songs from Mellow Gold. [removed]
Alcohol – from the US “Loser” single. I think. Sounds like something off “One Foot in the Grave”. [removed]
If you want something newer, check out the Nick Drake covers at “beck.com”:http://www.beck.com. For a less annoying way to listen to them, download them through yousendit. [thanks Mellow]
Lastly, this is the coolest (or tastiest) Beck fan art I’ve seen: “Lizzy’s portrait of Beck done in chocolate sprinkles on a Christmas cookie!”:http://beckbeckbeck.net/bekkies/bekkieart_lizzy.jpg

Do you have any other Beck b-sides and non-album singles you could post? I once had Alcohol and Deadweight and bonus Guero songs Clap Hands and Send A Message To Her, but lost the files because my old computer stopped working. If you could post any others or know of a good site that does have them, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
