Beck Among 'Rare Birds': "Beck is among the stars featured in the upcoming photo book "Rare Birds" by Amanda De Cadenet." [from Jmj/David/Me]
A blurb from the current Rolling Stone [from groovy]:
“We’ll be playing parks, plazas, theaters, nightclubs, convention halls, fairgrounds, arboretums and science centers,” says Beck. He’s kidding, in part, but the singer is in the planning stages of a full-fledged U.S. tour, beginning in July. Beck’s rad new album “Guero”,moved 162,000 copies in it’s first week, his highest debut ever (“I don’t quite believe it,” he says), and on the road he plans to draw from each of his records. “I’ll be playing turntables, guitar and thumb piano,” he says. “For the first time, I’ll be taking all the instruments from the studio and dumping them onstage.” And definitely arrive early for the opening act. “I think we’ll have a robot playing video-game themes on a grand piano. It’s unprecedented - actually, I might have seen something like it at Epcot Center, but we’re bringing it to the streets.”
Girl will be the next single from Guero, out June 27th in the UK. [from Jmj/David/Me]
