Here's something strange and somewhat Beck-related from the
New York Daily News:
-----
A Beck Too Far
Rocker Beck doesn't seem bothered that a guy was posing as him last weekend in the Hamptons. The impostor is said to have traded on the Grammy winner's fame at Cynthia Rowley's fashion show at NV Tsunami, where he flirted with designer Betsy Johnson's daughter, Lulu, and other beauties.
But the real Beck, who has been touring in Europe, laughed when we told him about the cad.
"I'm glad I'm making out so well," said the musician, who doesn't do badly himself. Ask Winona Ryder and Gina Gershon.
-----
Also from the
New York Daily News, word of Beck attending Madonna's concert at Madison Square Garden:
...Beck, just back from his own European tour, said he'd never seen her before because "I didn't have the money when I was younger. I'm a total fan. She's a cultural totem."...
Sidenote: Not the Beck BBS is a nice source of Beck news, I can't always keep up with everything, so if you haven't been there maybe you should, eh? :)

Beck in Spain
Here's a nice review of Wednesday's concert in San Sebatian (and unless you can read Spanish easily, you should probably
translate it).
And
another South Park review + a picture (you'll want to translate that too).

Some pictures of Saturday's concert from
BBC Online:
"Wait! Who's that teeny fella on stage?"
"That looks like Beck..."
"And these are Beck's friends"

There's a review of T in the Park at
NME with less than stellar comments about Beck. There's another review at
virtualfestivals.com with some nicer comments. :)

Yay, Beck interview!
Click
here to read and listen to sound clips of an interview Xfm did with Beck in between his Brixton shows.
I haven't been able to find a setlist of the South Park show, but apparently Beck played an acoustic set for about 30 minutes.
Nme reviewed the South Park show and mentioned that Beck played mostly songs from
Mutations. I read some comments from Sigur Ros and Radiohead fans; some called it disappointing, while others thought it was brilliant. It seems that his set was cut short because Supergrass played longer than they were supposed to. Read more comments
here.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BECK!
Woohoo, today is Beck's birthday! Celebrate 31 years of Beckness by eating a cake in Beck's honor (mm, it's tasty)!
Click
here to view a 12 minute interview with Beck held before the Quart Festival in Norway. You can check out a review of the concert
here. Good luck with it, it's all in Swedish!
There is a strange little Beck interview embedded within an Air interview in the June/July issue of Magnet magazine. Click
here to read it.
If anyone has any reviews of these past few Beck concerts in Europe, please
send them to me! In return you will get...a thank-you note? :)
