Thanks, SNL, for not trying to appear funny in the slightest. Is that lady on the right in the show now?
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 28 February 2014 14:28 (ten years ago) link
yes.

She isn't funny.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 28 February 2014 15:05 (ten years ago) link
She's pretty funny.

Well, not in that promo. But in general she's pretty funny. Her 'Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started Talking to at a Party' character was great.

Sounds like a riot.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 28 February 2014 16:42 (ten years ago) link
Ha, I realized as I typed it out that the name of the character was going to make it look much less funny than it actually was. But I also realized I'm defending an SNL cast member on a Beck thread and, why?

By the look of this, Beck is turning into Capt Beefheart in his demeanor

beck is looking plastic and inanimate as ever... look at that perfectly sculpted hairdo. ever since the Mutations cover, his projected image has been well dubious to me.

Fwiw, that hair doesn't look so much perfectly sculpted as it does a combover.

Oh shit. That's what's with those fucking hats. Beck is bald!

like this as much as sea change now. Heart is a Drum and Turn Away are great. I know it's boring, but I am kind of boring. Write a Simon and Garfunkel song. Put some reverb on some overdubs. Add some reverse tape effects. I will listen to it.

"Write a Simon and Garfunkel song" is no easy task. Especially not to the extent that he pulls it off.
― timellison, Tuesday, 4 March 2014 05:40 (ten years ago) link
Yes, he definitely pulls it off. Turn Away is stunning.

still have yet to listen to this but did DVR Saturday Night Live to hear two songs, they were OK.

it isn't "thrilling," but i like this song. i like singer-songwriter, gloomy beck.
― Daniel, Esq 2, Thursday, 6 March 2014 04:04 (ten years ago) link
Beautiful album. I like it more than Sea Change.
Will see how it fares as the year progresses.
― ∞, Tuesday, 11 March 2014 05:45 (ten years ago) link
yeah, I've grown to like it more than sea change as well.

finally heard this on real speakers and it does sound magnificent

Seeing him on Thursday. It's been awhile.

sounds great on Austin City Limits atm

Don't keep up anymore, so I missed this--ordered a copy after looking at this thread. Objectively, if you'd told me 20 years ago that the guy who made "Loser" would one day be doing nothing but sad-guy ballads that occasionally sound like Dark Side of the Moon, I probably would have said "Please, no." But going through one of my periodic bouts of self-pity last week, it fit my mood perfectly. My favorite is "Don't Let It Go," which I'd recommend to any parent in the middle of Frozen overload. (I realize sad-guy ballads were always a part of Beck--"Pay No Mind" was my second-favorite song on the debut.)

Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical
Lol at super specific Grammy categories
― chr1sb3singer, Monday, 9 February 2015 14:40 (nine years ago) link
LOL at them getting rid of gender-specific categories (which, for the record, I'm absolutely fine with) but keeping categories that stopped making sense whenever Van Cliburn's last #1 album was.
― Eric H., Monday, 9 February 2015 14:53 (nine years ago) link
LOL at Kanye getting up just as Beck began his speech, only to wave a "never mind" and sit down. Beck looked more confused than Taylor Swift did.

'indie' rock now the official music of old farts
― touch of a love-starved cobra (Dr Morbius), Monday, 9 February 2015 15:47 (nine years ago) link
Didn't you pay attention to the awards? Beck is simply "Rock" as opposed "Indie" or "Alternative".
― MarkoP, Monday, 9 February 2015 15:51 (nine years ago) link
They have indie categories now?
― Eric H., Monday, 9 February 2015 15:54 (nine years ago) link
let's just say he's the only Best Album winner I've seen play at Maxwells.

As I said to a friend last night, the GenX/millenial cuspers have finally reached the point where Grammy is awarding the musical acts we worshipped as kids for doing work we aren't going to listen to more than once or twice.
― Eric H., Monday, 9 February 2015 15:56 (nine years ago) link
Let me pause in wonder as I gaze at Eric and Morbs in a Beck thread.

i was buying Beck records when u were worshipping NKOTB

My response to Beck winning album of the year was: "Beck put out a new album?"

I was surprised the album wasn't in the lower end of this years ILM poll tbh

See also: Aphex. I mean Syro's alright, but lol at getting a Grammy for it considering the rest of his entire career to this date.

I imagine a Grammy Member up late at night filling out his ballot and coming to this category and saying "y'know the music is garbage, but goddamnat is a well engineered album" and then making a very bold check mark with his No.2 pencil.
