This is a very important question.
How manly is Beck on a scale of 1 to 10? Think about it. Want him to be one of the top 49 men of 2006? Then vote for him at AskMen.com, who rate him as a 77 and secretly wish they could "convince Beck to make all-girl music videos for all of his songs."

Uncut is taking questions for Beck until August 18th (erm...tomorrow). NME has more info:
Perhaps you want to know what's it like appearing in an episode of 'Futurama' as just a head? DoesMTV still make him want to smoke crack? Or whatever else you want to know.
Nothing is off limits, so email your question with your full name and location to Allan_jones@ipcmedia.com with Beck as the subject now.
All questions must be received by 5pm (BST) on Friday August 18.

[On a random note, if you gave me Beck fan art anytime this...year, I haven't put it up yet because I keep forgetting. Although I'm apparently remembering now. I'll do it at some point, yes.]
