listened to this last night while we were making dinner, just a total tour de force, had forgotten how great "Sweet Sunshine", "Nightmare Hippie Girl" and "Blackhole" were.

wow, i didn't see that upthread but yeah -- it was not Beck unfortunately. At the time, I had genuinely hoped against hope that the person leaving music and notes on my car wouldn't be a disgusting creep but I was wrong (shocking, I know).

I kind of wish I had voted for Beercan now, love that organ solo at the end

Pay No Mind is the "best" song on this record, but Truckdrivin' Neighbors Downstairs is the best song on this record.

Give the finger to the rock 'n' roll singer As he's dancing upon your paycheck The sales climb high through the garbage-pail sky Like a giant dildo crushing the sun
This is a really good lyric!

lol, I love this lyric so much that I sent it to my favorite college english professor (a contrairian type who hated consumerism and pop culture, fwiw). He responded something like "Sounds like Beck is my kind of guy."

I almost died laughing the first time I heard those lines - they're even better with Beck's inflections and timing

Does he ever play any of these songs (besides Loser I guess)?

For all you "Mutherfuker" fans, here's a great era B-side in the same vein

What band sounds the most like "Mutherfuker"/"Spanking Room"? Brainbombs? Deluxx Folk Implosion?

xxxpost last time i saw him (2012) he played Mutherfuker as part of the encore and it was very very great.
other than that, i've seen him 3 times since 2006 and the only other Mellow Gold track he played was Loser (all 3 times).

I hate whole-album shows but might make an exception for a Mellow Gold tour, although I think a. It will never happen and b. Maybe it won’t make much sense to see older Beck doing these songs.
