Happy Beck Day!

Happy Birthday to Beck!

Happy SPD everyone!

I pretty much agree with seacaptain on this. I think it's a combination of many things and I try not to worry myself about what it is exactly. Beck is probably feeling alienated in the state of music nowadays, not that that sort of thing has stopped him from making music before, just that he's much older now and maybe doesn't want to bother taking a risk. It does sadden me that he's not as animate on stage as some of my other favorite acts, many of which are in fact his peers, but he did seem a little more comfortable on stage during this show than all three MoGu shows I saw back in '08. There was much banter, improv, bandmate interaction, and even a few smiles from what I can remember and this gives me hope that something will come of these shows. And his voice sounded soooo good. I hope that Beck's itching to make music again (like an actual album, not all this safe, bland stuff he's been putting out) and I hope that wasn't the last time I'll ever get to see him.
