Mike Simpson (Dust Bros) on "High 5 (Rock The Catskills)":

“This track was just a classic example of what happens when three crazy people get together in one room [Laughs]. Those are the kinds of song that are my favorites. There’s no real commercial potential there. But for me who’s just a fan of music… I like those the best.

“A lot of songs you hear now, you hear the first ten seconds of the song and you don’t need to listen to any more because it’s just the same thing over and over again for about three and a half minutes. High 5 (Rock the Catskills) is one of those songs where it was the ultimate goal to end up with something that’s designed for someone with Attention Deficit Disorder. It just keeps you on your toes and really engages you as a listener.

It’s one of those songs you can hear over and over again and find different things every time you listen. To me that’s just one of the best songs on the record.”

I love this album a lot. I’ve never heard Paul’s Boutique though

how was this not titled "The New POLLution"?

Mmm looking at the tracklist I realize I don’t think I’ve heard this album... matter of fact I don’t think I’ve heard a full Beck album in my life. I know most of his singles and some songs here and there but looking at the tracklists for this one and his other 90’s and 00’s output it turns out the album I know the most is Guero and even there there’s at least half
of it I don’t recall ever hearing in my life.

I might use one of these quarantine days to actually listen to one or two full albums of him. I guess “Odelay” is the big one that I need to listen to and then it’s either Mutations or Mellow Gold.
