r/Beck

I personally have found that there probably never will be a time when Beck is what everyone is listening to. We simply aren't ready for for him to be everyone's favorite. This kinda goes hand in hand wit the entire concept of individuality between people but my main point is that we will probably not see a time where Beck is universally liked across the globe. Now this isnt to say that there haven't been and aren't times when his music is incredibly popular within certain groups but my main point is that the world just inst ready for this level of musical innovation.

I might just be crazy but let me know what you all think.

Which songs of his are jokes, tongue-in-cheek, mucking around?

I’ve read a few times that he recorded ‘Loser’ as a joke and didn’t want the record company to release it and hated that they did.

But which ones he purposely did?

Like, I think ‘Wow’ is a joke take

Just gotta say tonights concert was simply fantastic! The orchestral backing was impeccable and Beck and co were as tight as ever, great stage chemistry and an engaging setlist.

So glad I went and finally saw Beck! Wanted to see him when he came down to Australia last time back in 2023 but sadly had to skip because of work committments, more than made up for it by going tonight!

It's sooooo damn good.

I discovered Seu Jorge's music thanks to Beck's FANTASTIC Spotify playlists he'll post every now and then. Real gems on those.

Has Beck ever talked about how his vocal abilities changed over the 2000s? There is a difference in his abilities from Sea Change to Morning Phase, his voice gets deeper, broader, etc. Is it just experience and touring? Or did he actively work on it?

We know David Campbell does the strings on the albums but who does the orchestrations for these orchestral shows? Brass, woodwinds and percussion are added. In Sydney it said the arrangements were by the conductor Nicolas Buc. So is Beck having each orchestra create own arrangements, this would make sense given they know the orchestra but also I could understand Beck giving the scores to the various orchestras around the world. Any concert players can shed light? SSO show was incredible
