for those of you who don't have time to watch this: Interviewer asks a question. Beck: "Well I --" Wayne interrupts and talks for three days. Repeat till end.
Simply put...Beck is a sublime musical alchemist. There are VERY FEW artists who can achieve this level of stylistic convergence,regardless of genre or stylistic curve, there hasn't been a creative motif that he hasn't made his own. His musical ingenuity is vastly underrated because of the market driven,commercial imperatives of the industry AND the obvious ignorance of the critical mass. I firmly believe that anyone who is exposed to his music cannot resist, there is simultaneously...
Part 2(continued) A universal,historical continuity and eclecticism about his work that just astonishes me.While he is referencing the broad spectrum of culture, and music's glorious past,he somehow manages to miraculously weave his own indellible sonic thread into the future.With the foundation of the most profound musical traditions,he breaks all the rules, add to that his impressive capacity for harmony,and killer pop hooks.He is without question, the most important artist of his generation.
wow, I've wondered about how these guys interacted during that tour for years and years and now I finally get to see.. very intriguing. (Wayne definitely should've given Beck some time to talk though)
does anyone know where i could download this entire KCRW session with beck & the flaming lips, video off course? i found it on some fan site 3 years ago, but since then i replaced hard drive and now i can't find it again, been searching for 4 days now, i'm slowly going crazy.!.. so, if someone could help me i would appreciate it sooo much!. this session is beautiful, beautiful music!!.
Yea, i agree Wave beck is a musical alchemist of sorts, i wish people appreciated him more. I try to get numerous people into Beck, but it never really works out. My best friend is like "Oh i have his 'Loser' CD the rest of it sucks" and im like have you tried Odelay or Mutations, The Information? And all i get is "What the hell's an Odelay?"
I never got the whole story on why they ended up hating each other...I know Wayne said they felt that Beck put on the whole crazy-artsy pose, but he was really a limo dwelling hermit...I wonder what Beck's opinion of them was...
I can't even believe this is a discussion, In Utero is definitely a Nirvana album and neither Beck nor Billy Corgan (?) was on it anywhere...nor were Wayne Coyne or any of the Flaming Lips...lol are you people serious?
i dont know where all these people commenting are picking up any bad vibes at all in this? wayne has a lot to say, seemingly always, and thats never a bad thing
in some FL interview wayne coyne called beck self-centered diva. funnily enough, mr. coyne is not the most sane person in the world.. maybe two eccentrics in one room is too much. both make great music anyway.

I'm scared to death that I might be the Wayne of my band.

I couldn't agree more.
love

Whoever said either of these guys' ego got in the way of anything is dead wrong. Everyone involved with beck or the flaming lips is 100% pure AWESOME!
Both Wayne and Beck are supercool.
I saw this tour. It was how you say: Badass.
so true
does anyone know where i could download this entire KCRW session with beck & the flaming lips, video off course?
i found it on some fan site 3 years ago, but since then i replaced hard drive and now i can't find it again, been searching for 4 days now, i'm slowly going crazy.!..
so, if someone could help me i would appreciate it sooo much!.
this session is beautiful, beautiful music!!.
beck makes 240p look cool.
beck is shy, i saw him for my first concert and got to meet him, he took the time to meet his fans but seemed scared or self conciouse
I love KCRW and Wayne and Beck. Wayne Coyne is very, very ADD, though.

ahaha fuuuuUuUuUck that zappa pwns beck times the universe.
lol definitely
This is like watching an interview between cocaine and oxycontin
More Steven.
I never got the whole story on why they ended up hating each other...I know Wayne said they felt that Beck put on the whole crazy-artsy pose, but he was really a limo dwelling hermit...I wonder what Beck's opinion of them was...
where's the beck part of that interview. geez that wayne doesn't shut up
I can't even believe this is a discussion, In Utero is definitely a Nirvana album and neither Beck nor Billy Corgan (?) was on it anywhere...nor were Wayne Coyne or any of the Flaming Lips...lol are you people serious?
as much as i like wayne he really didnt let beck say a lot considering its a beck interview
it looks like a sunburn ha ha
will Wayne ever shut up though? can't he see Beck's BLUSHING?! huuuh???
yeah, well i don't think they really like each other.
you should lsiten to more beck, you'll love him! hehe
i dont know where all these people commenting are picking up any bad vibes at all in this? wayne has a lot to say, seemingly always, and thats never a bad thing
James Iha? Now I know you're joking
maybe that's why he's blushing?
@bodiezoffa Beck doesn't droml alcohol, are you kidding me?
well that was weird.
of corse he don't, well you apparently do way more than him
in some FL interview wayne coyne called beck self-centered diva. funnily enough, mr. coyne is not the most sane person in the world.. maybe two eccentrics in one room is too much. both make great music anyway.
wayne talks a lot
nonsense, becks shy
boy this awkward. do you get the feeling that beck hates wayne?
Wayne talks a little too much, but he's a cool guy.
He needs to shut up and let Beck actually talk, the interview is about BECK'S ALBUM, not his.
Yeah yeah yeah, that laundry isn’t going to fold itself babe
That guy Wayne is annoying.
I think beck would just laugh at all you slightly pretentious and snooty becknoisseurs...
Don't think Wayne is too talkative here, just feeding ideas and agreeing really. Beck sounds pretty boring anyway.
Wayne talks way too much. I think he spoke more at the concert when I last saw the Lips than he sang.
