The best of both worlds - stripped back enough to appeal to those who appreciate the lo-fi folkier side to Beck's work, but with Dangermouse's beats the invention is still present.

Albums Of The Year 2008 #1 Beck - Modern Guilt

Beck: Gamma Ray
Probably the best song on the album (though I am loving Profanity Prayer at the moment), but is also the most like Gnarls Barkley and the presence of Dangermouse is most obvious on the latest single from Modern Guilt. The 60s vibe is played up with this trip-tastic, psychedelic, surrealist video.
Gamma ray? More like Man Ray!

Beck: Orphans
Simple, but effective video for the lead track from Modern Guilt - with Beck still rocking his Amish Dylan kinda look he has going on at the moment.

Beck @ Manchester Apollo
Three years after his last appearance, Beck returns to the Manchester Apollo on July 2nd, with one major difference - the price.
In June 2005 you could pick up a ticket for £23.50, but a quick visit to See Tickets shows that this time round its pushing on doubling the amount with the total coming in at £42.55 once you've been hit with all the hidden charges.
Beck is a fantastic performer and it will probably be worth it if he brings a full show that can top his puppet-based antics of his last trip around these shores, but I can't help be annoyed that this years O2 Wireless festival is strictly a Hyde Park affair - as a line up of Morrissey, Beck, The Wombats & The National is damn spiffy.
