If "do it" is a synonym for "annoy me to tears", then I second that.

This artist tis the only one hat I like that does speaking on a record, well maybe Robbie Robertson...but Beck has that smooth cloudy voice and it flows with the rhythm of his songs. Love  Beck.....and any direction he goes in....true artistry.

Kind of the same for me, except I really really like some things he has done. Just put aside the notions that the abstract lyrics mean something (they do if they do to you) and that he played every note (he samples a lot, unabashedly) . He is a very creative individual.

Same here.  But I sure appreciate being exposed to the wide variety of music.  I'm kind of digging this one.

Another RP win for me; I'd probably never have heard this song and been taken by the groove, the lyrics, and the surprise instruments.

One of the coolest songs that is also decidedly sinister-sounding... I really dig Beck for pulling it off so well and making it so uniquely his groove!  And I just love it that I can hear this here (and probably only here) on RP!

WAY COOL LYRICS!

Lyrics to Dark Star :
One, two
One, two A disappointment condition, a perfunctory prescription
Of an indigent mindset of belligerent silence
We got all we need droning out of a tin can
Thinking about the rain under the sweatshirt hood
Listen to the noise on the battery tape deck
A Judas trainwreck, anonymous suspect
Hovering in carbon monoxide cremations
Loners waste away inside of vacant locations
Think tanks empty, international dream bank
Plug in my reactor to the fallout zone
The enemies' story is a lot like mine
And if you get to the point then you know better than I Dark star like an eye that's closing
Sees through the shards from a scar that's open Autopilot drivers riding out on the ice age
Infidels swallowed in a vanishing point
Ammunition souls shooting holes in the ozone
Widow's tears washing the soldier's bones
Sterilized egos delirium sequels
Punctured by the arrows of American eagles
Robot to teach you all the rules that delete you
Backspace my brain, my equilibrium guns Dark star, just an eye that is closing
Sees through the shards from a scar that's open One, two
One, two
You know what to do
