Since it was a 2 to one vote against Beck and Modest Mouse, Beck wins, and Modest Mouse will be tomorrows. I'm thinking of taking this to the forums, but I'm not sure. I in no way typed this up. I used Wikipedia and last.fm.
Beck
Here it is. Beck.
The song starts with acoustic guitars and percussion. Then, unexpectantly, a bass guitar riff comes in and Beck starts rapping. The acoustic guitar and percussion section comes back in for the chorus. There is a piano melody played throughout the song. The song had been compared to the song "Hell Yes" off of his previous album Guero in terms of structure and musical ****
Hell Yes, or Ghettochip Malfunction, or GameBoy Variations, is a remix EP of several songs from Beck's 2005 album, Guero. The prominent feature of the EP is the persistent use of sound effects and tones generated from 8-bit or 16-bit video game systems, giving the songs a somewhat 'retro'/'chiptune' feel. The two artists who are responsible for the songs in the 4-song extended play are 8-Bit and Paza Rahm, both of whom are little-known artists. Paza Rahm, a member of a Swedish troupe of artists known as The X-Dump, creates solo works entirely based upon such video game effects as used to remix the songs to a fairly successful result. All that can be presented at this time on the matter of 8-Bit is the fact they pose as a four-member gang of android robots from modern-day United States Mexican-American ghettos. Both artists' solo work can be found for free on their respective sites.
About Beck:
Beck Hansen (born Bek David Campbell, July 8, 1970) is an american musician, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Beck's music, with its pop-junk culture collage of musical st/yle, obtuse, ironic lyrics, and post-modern arrangements incorporating samples, drum machines, live instrumentation and heady sound effects, was among the most idiosyncratic of 90s alternative rock. Though true his most popular albums were conceived in the 90s, Beck continues to inspire with his creative songwriting combined with his innovative production sty.le into the modern age of alternative.
