Eagerly awaiting new Beck,
remembering all-night orgies
Finally, a week with great
things to report in the mu
sic world. I scarcely know
where to start, but I’ll try.
Remember when Beck used to
actually make albums? Yeah, I’m
having a hard time recalling those
halcyon days as well. But those of
us who have quivered in anticipa
tion since the release of 1999’s in
sanely underrated “Midnite Vul
tures” have reason to celebrate.
This week it was announced
that the sexiest short person since
Prince is in a San Francisco stu
dio recording with producer Dan
“The Automator” Nakamura. In
case you didn’t know, Nakamura
has been responsible for incredi
ble albums by Dr. Octagon, Del
tron 3030 and the currently om
nipresent Gorillaz. In other
words: The Automator’s beats +
Beck’s rhymes = possibly the best
album of the millennium.
I don’t personally like Phish,
but I realize that I live in Eugene,
and I know that certain conces
sions must be made to the pre
vailing environment that sur
rounds me. So Phish fans, this
one’s for you: Your favorite 4)and
is going to be reunited on an
episode of “The Simpsons” that
is airing in April.
Phish aficionados may also find
another detail about this episode
particularly interesting. Homer
gets a prescription for medical
marijuana and finds that it changes
his life for the better. When greater
Springfield becomes outraged at
the presence of drugs in their com
munity, a benefit concert for pot le
galization takes place. Hence the
presence of Phish.
I just realized how funny it
would be if the episode aired on
April 20.
Maybe the most exciting news I
have this week is the fact that ’N
Sync are kicking off their spring
tour in the humble town of Port
land. Get ready for a breathtaking,
nonstop tour-de-force of incredi
bly well-written songs, irre
sistible melodies and Justin Tim
berlake’s sexy peach fuzz. You
can catch the most highly-antici
pated show of the year at the
Rose Garden
on March 3.
Diapers are
optional.
You might
have heard of a
little band
called Weezer.
Legend has it
that it took
them about
four years to
make their last
album. This
apparently
made their
fans very sad.
Those same fans will be very hap
py to know that a scant 11 months
after last May’s “Green Album,”
Rivers Cuomo and the boys will be
releasing a brand-spanking new
collection of songs. If you aren’t
good at math, I will lay it out for
you: In April, Weezer will release
“Maladroit.” Yeah, I don’t know
what that means, either.
If you want to know what
“Maladroit” is going to sound
like, go to www.weezer.com,
where you can listen to a whole
Depper
In Stereo
bunch of demo tracks which
might make it onto the album.
Hint: The songs are about girls.
Right now I’m listening to the
new Chemical Brothers album,
“Come With Us,” which was re
leased just this week. It thorough
ly surpassed all my expectations.
In fact, my colleague Mason West
just described it as “get down and
freaky music.”
I would have to agree. Listen
ing to “Come With Us” reminds
me of my crazy clubbing days in
Ibiza and the South of France,
when I would gobble copious
amounts of drugs and participate
in all-night orgies with people
from all over the world. Wait, I
didn’t ever do any of that. Wow,
this really is some CD!
Last, but certainly not least, I
am obliged to report the presence
of greatness on our campus
tonight. This evening, the Buzz
Coffeehouse will be rocked to its
very foundation by Wallace — a
band so talented, so driven, and
so intense that they have been lit
erally attacked after the show by
women hungry for sensitive yet
manly men.
Girls, don’t miss out on this op
portunity to have your dreams
come true. Guys, come in order to
find out what you could be if you
only applied yourselves. The
show starts at 9 p.m., and there’s
no opening act, so get there on
time. Best of all, it’s free! Miss it
at your peril.
