Beck's Modern Gilt Gone Acoustic


Did you by any chance get your hands on a copy of Beck's Modern Guilt last year? I did & I've listened to it many times since. It's one of his best records & I love the drumming in particular. Now, on the anniversary of it's release, he's decided to give us an acoustic version of the entire thing, starting with Orphans, which you can stream here or at Beck.com right this very momento...

"Modern Guilt was released one year ago this week! For the occassion (sic) we are putting up acoustic versions of the entire album recorded earlier this year after returning from the Japan tour (under severe jet lag). Tracks will be released weekly starting with this rendition of Orphans. There will be a limited ep of four tracks from the session available soon. We'll also be putting up all the promotional videos from the album this week in the new section, Videotheque."

Wendy? Yes Lisa...


Purple Rain is 25 years old &, to celebrate, SPiN magazine is giving away this FREE compilation/tribute download of nine of the album's songs by artists like Of Montreal (Computer Blue), Chairlift (Darling Nikki), Fol Chen (The Beautiful Ones), and Lavender Diamond (Purple Rain). I was ecstatic over this album when I was a kid, mainly because it was so so naughty, I was still in elementary school, and my family was seriously all about Jesus. I had no idea what "masturbating with a magazine" meant, but , believe me, I was hella intrigued & determined to find out. So, I guess you could say that Prince is partly responsible for corrupting my virginal mind. I must thank him for that one day.


p.s. Lavender Diamond's Becky Stark does a restrained but kinda perfect version of the title track.
