Beck is just one of those musicians who are forever reinventing themselves. He will move from Folk/Hip Hop to Electronica to straight up rock-n-roll. Each album is a completely different type of work. The thing is, played side by side, even if they are completely different in style, they will work. His "Sea Change" disc is a true classic, and contains not a single song that most of public knows. I would say I'm a huge Beck fan, but something always holds me back. Possibly knowing that Beck is a Scientologist? Maybe it's just that he is a little weird? Either way the guy is a musical genius.
Cellphones Dead is off of "The Information." This disc came out a few years back, and contains some real fun stuff. For one the disc has an entire second disc that contains each song in video form. Really low budget video's, but real fun at the same time. This song, while not my favorite off this album, is a really great song. For some odd reason I had it playing in my head, and threw it up on YouTube while hanging out with Ella at 6:30 this morning. I could tell she really dug the song even when she was rolling around on the floor, so I replayed it for her. Same result. To confirm this I watched it a third time with Christine, and bingo same result. She really enjoyed the song. I think it's all about the vocals with this song. It has a nice rhythm to it, along with a really good sound.
