Beck finished producing the new Thurston Moore solo record “Demolished Thoughts” earlier this year. It was recorded last fall and into January this year and will be released May 24th on Matador. Here’s a link with more info.


Gary Wilson self recorded “You Think You Really Know Me” in his parent’s basement in the mid 70′s, pressing only 300 copies. I first heard it in the early 90′s from a cassette copy being passed around. Sounding something like Prince starring in a Dario Argento film, the desperation of the voice in songs like Loneliness and 6.4 = Makeout warped through the music, combining the darkly absurd with something elusive—that weirdness underneath the smooth surface of 70′s mellow pop and countless Three’s Company episodes finally articulated. Rumors of Gary Wilson’s whereabouts, that he had been playing in a Holiday Inn lounge, went around for years. He resurfaced later in a series of performances involving mannequins and copious amounts of cellophane, as well as in a documentary. Here are a few tracks:

Beck has written songs for the Scott Pilgrim film’s fictional band Sex BOB-OMB. The songs were recorded two summers ago at the request of director Edgar Wright (Shaun Of The Dead) and Nigel Godrich, who contributed the score to the film. The versions on the soundtrack have vocals redubbed by the film’s actors.
