That's cool. It's great that Beck has gigs coming up. Unfortunately, so far I won't be anywhere near any of them.

my biggest is "does a recent interest in shows mean we might have a new album around the corner?"

[seacaptain]

yea, come to think of it, there's really just one question

How about "Where else might he be playing this year?"

[tebe2k]

I'm not convinced yet.  Each of these shows appear to just be convenient and feel no different than the last few shows he's done (without tours or albums)

Not saying that I don't hope, I hope a bunch, it's just that as of now I am in no way convinced that this means anything else.

In 2000, I was living in the UK and lamented the fact that Beck was playing at the Santa Barbara Bowl -- my home town venue! -- and I wasn't able to attend.

In 2003, I was living in LA and made the quick trip up the coast to see Beck at the Bowl.  The opening act was a guitar and drum duo that made me wish I was seeing The White Stripes instead.  (It was The Black Keys)

Now, in 2012, I'm living in New York City and I'm wondering whether this is worth making a cross-country flight for.  Probably not.  I'm old.  Beck is old.  Which means Candy must be ancient.

I missed out on the Gainsbourg concert last year (too busy)

I missed out on the Napa concert recently (too far)

But this time, I am not missing it for anything!!!

I will be there...general admission...on the floor for maximum dancing!

I hope he plays some MV....

Yeah, same.  I missed the Napa concerts (too expensive, too far).  I'm skipping the George and Bend shows (also too expensive and too far).  This one is right up my alley...now if I can only get the time off.

Don't get me wrong, I love my little trips to CA, but I wouldn't mind something closer to home.  Make that at home.

I hit my limit with L.A.  It wasn't exactly chicken soup for my soul.  So now I'm in a better place.  Still working on asinine television but definitely happier with my surroundings.

Weather kind of sucks, though, right? Or is it a refreshing change to you?

[rabbits]

I flew  from central Alberta to Napa for the show, and it was totally worth it. I'm waiting on my buddy right now to see if he can get the weekend off to drive down to Bend for this one (and this time I wont have to miss class ). Its never too far for Beck!!

[Broken Record]
