Ambitious Outsiders reports another secret Beck show tomorrow night:
This Wednesday night at 1650 in Hollywood, there is another secret Beck show. The same place as last Saturday. Tickets will be given at the door. Too bad about last Friday, this one seems solid.
Editor's note: Since this is a 'secret' show, Beck may or may not show up. It's entirely up to him, as we learned from the past he is unpredictable. Any further info we'll post as soon as we get it.
The site also gives an explanation about Beck not being there last week, so
check it out and go at your own risk.
New Beck mash up:

Re: Norwegian video -- click on the "VIDEO: Se sendingen her!" link on the
Lydverket page, you should get a pop up window with some stuff in it. Click on the button that says "Ok" as I don't know what the rest of this means and it won't make your computer explode. You should end up at a login page after that; enter "evenmagnet" in the "Brukernavn:" field and "privatejinx" in the "Passord:" field. Then it should log in and the video should start (using Windows Media player). If it doesn't work then I'm out of ideas, sorry.

There's a Beck feature + interview in the February 2nd show of
NRK's Lydverket. The show is in Norwegian but the interview parts are in English so it's be worth a watch. And since people almost never want to register (or can't figure out how to do it; hey, I'm not Norwegian either!) use the username/password evenmagnet/privatejinx.

You can download the E-Pro video
here and the Black Tambourine video
here.
Vito wrote in the guestbook:
No "secret show" at the Echo this Friday night - just the advertised Hidden Cameras. A big crowd anticipating the man but all were let down. It matched the rainy weather. Oh well. Next time I hope.
:(

The E-Pro music video is at
music.msn.com (I keep getting an error in Windows Media Player when I try to watch it though. Help?).
Beck.com/tools has new Guero AIM icons.
Ambitious Outsiders reported another "secret show" at the Echo tonight, making it his fourth show. Sold out, of course. Maybe Beck fans should just camp out at the Echo every Friday.

Here are photos from the latest issue of
Filter, not really in their entirety since some were two-page spreads but you're going to buy the magazine anyway:

Since I got this from a compilation CD, I think it's okay to put up:
Download "Black Tambourine"
It should be there for 30 days. Watch the video for Black Tambourine while you're at it:

What would you rather get: standard 13-track release or DELUXE 2-DISC SET? Hmmm. From
beck.com:
For Guero's US release, we will be releasing two versions: The standard 13 track release, and a deluxe 2-disc set that features the 13 tracks plus 3 bonus tracks and 4 remixes. The second disc will feature the 5.1 mix of Guero, along with two videos.
The UK Guero will be the standard release with 2 of the bonus tracks, while Japan standard will have all 3, and the rest of the world having 1.

Another "secret" Beck show?
Ambitious-Outsiders says there may be a show tonight at
The Echo in Los Angeles.
It's not done, but here's the
Guero page where Guero related things will be put when I get un-lazy.

More Cowbell reports a "secret" Beck show:

Doors open at 8pm. 21+ over
The artwork and info for Guero is now at
beck.com.
The
Hell Yes EP is the #1 downloaded album on iTunes today. I just made an account at iTunes using
paypal and got five free tracks! So there's at least one reason to get the EP.
An article at
Billboard.com says there will be three versions of Guero: standard CD, double-CD with two videos + 5.1 audio mix and another featuring four remixes. Hooray, choices! [thanks Rick /

A page collecting most Guero info shall be coming soon...
