Buzz-Worthy Video: Beck, Feist, Wilco Performing Together

BuzzSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:30:46 PST

Guaranteed way to make me drop everything I'm doing and press play: tell me that Beck, Feist, and Wilco are collaborating. It's true; Beck recruited the folk chanteuse, the rock band, and British singer Jamie Lidell to join him to perform a tribute to '60s musician Skip Spence.

Their cover of Spence's song, "Little Hands," was recorded in the famous Sunset Sound Studios in Hollywood in ultrahip black and white. The song is beautiful, but I'm still just beaming to see some of my favorite artists in one room together (including Jeff Tweedy's son Spencer on drums!). And Beck, you're rocking that devil's haircut.

To see the video of "Little Hands", just

What Do You Know About Beck's Home?

CasaSugar — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 16:00:24 PDT

Beck, a musician who defies genres and has been inspiring me since college, has just put another of his California homes on the market. Take a look at my quiz and see if you can figure out some of the details about the home.

Question 1 of 5

Beck's home is located in what tiny Southern California city in northwest Los Angeles county, which has 21 miles of coastline?

What to Download: New Music on iTunes

BuzzSugar — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:30:32 PDT

Tuesdays are big in entertainment-ville: Not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix, but new music also pours into stores, including iTunes. So I take a spin through each week's iTunes music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download. Here are today's selections:

Psychedelic Beck: The buzz around Beck's new album, Modern Guilt, is really, really good, and he's just the sort of artist to give voice (and music) to some of the most troubling and complex issues of our time. At first listen, I get the feeling that the state of the world has Beck sincerely concerned - and, in his view, the future ain't so bright. Tracks like "Chemtrails" and "Youthless" are heavy, but I can't stop listening. It's all very trippy and retro, and I'll probably end up downloading the whole thing.

Get the party started: Yay! Even though Abba's greatest hits are available to us at any time, I'm excited to check out the movie soundtrack for Mamma Mia! and hear all the stars sing. Definitely give a listen to Meryl Streep singing the title track, "Mamma Mia." Also, Amanda Seyfried sounds amazing on songs like "I Have a Dream." I just cannot wait for July 18!

Two more picks up next so

read more! Pretty folk songs: This Portland, Oregon duo is a sound for sore ears and a nice addition to my iTunes mix. Think Bright Eyes or the softer side of the Shins. Their album, 3 Rounds and a Sound, is lovely, and I've downloaded - and am enjoying - "The Story I Heard" and "One Red Thread."
When the greats get together: Back in January 2007, Willie Nelson and Wynton Marsalis performed together at Lincoln Center, wowing crowds with their shared love of jazz and blues. Now, you can get the performance for yourself. I'm a sucker for old standards like "Georgia on My Mind," and Willie Nelson's voice coupled with this gorgeous jazz sound is a total treat.

This Just In: Beck Wants a (Sea) Change

CasaSugar — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:00:30 PDT

According to Big Time, Beck and his wife Marissa Ribisi have put their 5,718 square-foot, 6-bedroom, 9-bath home in Hancock Park, Los Angeles on the market for a mere $9 million. The couple purchased the manse just about a year ago in June 2007 for $6.75 million. The property description reads:

On a beautifully manicured corner lot setting w/ huge mature trees, this handsome estate offers large scale public rooms. Large living room, library, formal din rm plus huge kit/fam rm measures 53' x 26' which serves as lifestyle center of the home. Grand master suite has his & hers baths & walk-in closets. Five family bedrooms w/ en suite baths. Professional recording studio and rehearsal room in guest house, grassy back yard, swim lane pool, privacy & security make this a rare find.

Although the house looks sophisticated, I must say it's kind of underwhelming; I don't see a stitch of color anywhere. The combined kitchen and family room could be great, but it doesn't look comfortable, inviting, or functional. Take a look at the photos and tell me what you think.

BuzzSugar's Must Haves for July

BuzzSugar — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 06:30:52 PDT

Well, July may not be the biggest book release time of the year (go figure), and it's a little weak on the music, too - but there are still plenty of entertainment options capturing my attention this month. My must haves include Summer escapism in an air-conditioned movie theater, an interesting read, a trip to the '60s, and one musical beacon whose new album has me excited. To see my picks for July, hit "Start."

Song of the Day: Beck, "Forget Marie"

BuzzSugar — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 14:31:15 PDT

Though I'm not exactly a Beck fanatic, I do own all of his albums, and I appreciate the musician's expert ability to dabble in so many genres. Most recently, he's handing us an experiment in country music in the form of a cover tune: "Forget Marie," written by the recently deceased Lee Hazlewood.

Recorded in Nashville and now streaming on Beck's homepage, the ambling cowboy tune will appeal to fans of Beck ballads. The ethereal but quirky vibe reminds me a lot of his album, Mutations, which is one of my favorites. I especially like the whistling at the end. Give it a listen and tell me what you think.
