No Devandra. Although that could be interesting. That could work really well on a Sea Change type folk song.

And did you hear because the new Beck album has a "design your own cover art" thing with stickers that are included (which actually is pretty cool), its inelegible for a Grammy because thats considered a "gimmick" and it isnt even allowed to chart in Europe?

Yeah, I think I read that in Blender. And for the record, Blender sucks. It used to be a good read for reviews.

Hmm, I havent picked up a Blender in a year or 2, but I used to really enjoy it. They covered a pretty wide range of music while still being fun to read. The only magazine I get now is The Fader (yea yea, hipster alert), but I dont even get it for the music stuff. The photography in it is amazing, and thats the main reason I subscribe.

I'm pretty fond of DIW and Under the Radar.

I pick up No Depression every now and then to get my alt-country fix. I also get The Big Takeover if I see they have a new one. Its a good thing they only come out with it every few months, because it takes me about that long to get through it. That thing is huge The only thing I dont like about it is some of the stuff the cover is obscure to the enth degree, and I have a hard time believing even they know all the bands they're covering.

So, I just went to iTunes to sample the new Beck record and I see that they're selling the record as a "bonus video version." It includes 16 songs and 15 music videos (looks like no video for the last song) all for $11.99. That's a pretty sweet deal.

Motley Crue, Smokin' in the Boys Room
Jay Z, What Now
Ludacris, You Got a a Problem
House of Pain, On Point( jazz remix)
Prince, Sexy MF
Staind, Yesterday
Wu Tang Clan: Tiger Style, METHOD MAN, Da Mystery of Chessboxin'
Soundgarden, Rusty Cage
DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, Pump up the Bass
Cypress Hill, Prelude to a Come Up

basically random stuff of my hard drive again....

Best song I've heard today: Accoustic version of Baba O'Reilly by Pete Townsend and the Flaming Lips. Pretty sweet.

I love GBV's song writing and guitar work.
