Audio

Today’s b-side has a complicated history. “Feel Good Time” was originally co-written by Beck and William Orbit for an Orbit solo album in 2001/2002. At some point, someone working on the Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle soundtrack got a hold of the song’s demo and requested to use it. Since Sea Change was released around this time, Beck claims he did not want to confuse his audience with a dance track like “Feel Good Time” so soon. The song was changed and re-recorded with Pink on vocals. The song would then go on to be on a Pink album as well as the Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle soundtrack.

Beck’s version of the song has several more layers of various miscellaneous flourishes plus more pronounced guitar and drums. Arguably the most standout part of Beck’s version is his vocal performance, which feels almost like the Beck of nearly ten years previous but also the more recent Beck tracks of today. For more information on the track, including the lyrics, see here.

#self reblog #pink's version of this came on at the store and i kept thinking of that guy at a party meme <they dont know beck originally sang this> LOL

She got to see Beck live and give her manga to him too. [x]

"When I was little, I loved BECK's album "Guero" the most in the world, and I remember dancing to it at my father's office. That's where my love for rock music started. NIRVANA's music is exceptional, but I also sympathize with frontman Kurt Cobain's feminism and pushing the boundaries of gender. I was an only child, so I spent a lot of time alone, and I moved to a place where I didn't speak the language, so I feel like I was able to cultivate my imagination while filling in the silence with music." (MTL) [x]

#a mangaka named Sumiko Arai got to meet beck after the concert!#and as a mutual said “does beck even know what yuri is” he does now! <3 #good for her :)#beck #reblogs

NEW FAVORITE BLOG. i havent found ANYONE else who posts about beck you are a LIFESAVER!!! where do you get most of your scans from?

Thank you! I'll accept the honor of being the main Beck poster at the moment lol 💕

All scans I share under the "perfunctoryidols scans" tag are from magazines I own physically :). Generally they're from eBay but recently I've bought many using a Japanese mail proxy service since he's been well loved there.

Enjoy <3
