It’s almost 4 years since musical centipede BECK released his Hyperspace album.
But he didn’t sit at home on his lazy butt, watching TV and eating
popcorn all that time. He collaborated on tracks with Gorillaz, Paul
McCartney and many more. He also performed multiple times as
a guest on other artists’ shows.
And this week, he appeared at the Recording Academy’s All-Star
Grammys tribute to Californian legends the Beach Boys.
Now out of the blue, the former loser shared a tender ballad
called THINKING ABOUT YOU. A song he played live a couple
of times.
Going back in sonic history looking for memorable albums…

Band: RADIOHEAD Album: PABLO HONEY – the band’s debut Released: 22 February 1993 – 25 years ago… Rolling Stone wrote: “Flashing a song called ‘Creep’ as a musical ID takes cheek, but then, everything about these Brits is unabashed. On their debut, the swagger affected by every
arch-Anglo since the Kinks is already in full effect. Three guitars (and bass) and a singer
whose narcissistic angst rivals Morrissey’s (‘I will not control myself!’) Thom Yorke screams on ‘Vegetable’ and on ‘Prove Yourself’ he mourns, ‘I’m better off dead’), these five Oxford lads come on extreme. What elevates them to fab charm is not only the feedback and strumming fury of their guitar work — and the dynamism of their whisper-to-a-scream song structures — which recall the Who by way of the early Jam, but the way their solid melodies and sing-along choruses resonate pop appeal. If they don’t implode from attitude overload, Radiohead warrant watching.” Turn Up The Volume! says: their very first step to awesomeness,
geniusness and massiveness… Three Top Tracks: How Do You? / Creep / Thinking About You
* HOW DO YOU? – Radiohead would never rock like this again – nasty and rowdy…
* CREEP – simply unavoidable, because it’s a 24 Karat Gold classic…
