Beck Remixed

"I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me..." I've been a fan of Beck ever since I heard those lyrics and saw that casket following him around in his video. Well I've been a fan but never bought any of his Cd's. I guess I'm not a true fan then. Oh well. I never forgot about Beck but he did slip my mind for awhile until my cousin gave me a copy of Guerolito : The Remix Album. Once again I went to sleep. The album sat on my desk for at least 3 months before I even listened to it. It was definitely worth the wait thou. Guerolito is the first remix album from Beck. He took his album Guero and let other producers such as Air, Dust Brother, Beastie Boys, and Diplo come in and remix it to create Guerolito. In an interview with Spin magazine Beck was quoted as saying "There are so many dimensions to what a record can be these days. Artists can and should approach making an album as an opportunity to do a series of releases—one that's visual, one that has alternate versions, and one that's something the listener can participate in or arrange and change. It's time for the album to embrace the technology. For me it's more about giving the music legs, giving people new ways to experience it ... Even though the mashup sensibility has become something of a cliche, I'd love to put out an album that you could edit and mix and layer directly in iTunes." Since I'm not a super producer I'll leave that to the likes of L Styles and the other producers I know. For you I leave two songs off this album the first being my favorite "Broken Drum" and "Heaven's Hammer." Enjoy the ride.
