Beck: Helping Make The Internet Safe, One Video At A Time

Beck has been a personal favorite for years. With each album, he is able to reinvent himself as an artist and musician while still sounding very much like Beck. Now, he's on the path to reinventing his recent album, Modern Guilt, as well as The Velvet Underground's debut album in the form of videos on his website, Beck.com.

Video Graveyard

"Flavor" by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

This is the video where mid-90's cool becomes cooler. "Flavor" features 90's NYC cool band The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion merging their manic, noisy, blues rock world with 90's LA cool up and comer Beck's world of slacker freestyles and dissonance. Also, there's hibachis, a Run DMC homage and a cameo from Mike D of Beastie Boys.

One Foot In The Soulmanure

Today, a reissue of Beck's 1994 indie-folk classic, "One Foot In The Grave" hits stores loaded with all the greatness of the original album as well as 16 bonus tracks of unreleased material and 7" tracks. It, at the time, was seen by the public as an odd release given Beck's popularity with "Loser" but respected by critics as it showcased another side of Beck briefly hinted at on "Pay No Mind." As time passed, this record became an out of print item and one song, "Asshole," found its way to Tom Petty who covered it on the soundtrack to "She's The One." Although it is great to see this fantastic album reissued, what about the other Beck album from 1994?
