Beck’s all about the YouTube, the remixes, and the 1s and 0s; so we got together with him to offer a technologically friendly giveaway for fans of his music and fans of convenient data transfer. There’s a few prizes, but one winner takes all.
First up is an autographed Beck poster; that’s for your wall. And while you’re hanging that poster, you can listen to the free copy of The Information you’ll receive. Not bad. But that’s no ordinary copy of The Information, so it doesn’t matter if you already own one. Because no matter how you did at designing your sticker cover, Beck probably did better — and the copy you’ll get will have a booklet signed and designed by Mr. Hansen.
While we don’t have an MP3 player for you to digitize and transport your Beck tunes, we do have the next best thing. This Mimoco Glow Ghost 2GB flash drive was produced in a limited run for Comic Con and are now unavailable — except to you, for you and your Beck storage purposes.
More info on them here. They glow, and they’re more fun to look at than a yousendit file.
So if you could use a little more Beck (again, signed poster, copy of The Information with Beck signed and designed booklet) and a little more portable storage space in your life, post a comment about how you plan to apportion the 2GB of memory on your Glow Ghost. We’ll pick the winner at random on Tuesday 11/21 at 6PM EST. Until then, you’re stuck with your floppy disks.
UPDATE: We’ve just received word that the Glow Ghost is one of TWO that were ever produced. ‘Cause it ain’t 2GB, it’s 4GB. That means you can transfer even more porn.

If I owned this drive you can damn well bet I would ride into the golden sunset on the back of tiger racing, home to transfer whatever to wherever, everyday. I would place it upon a crown and scare children with it. I would probably make it my girlfriend (not in a weird way) that’s how cool it looks. If I had that drive and that Beck CD, I’d probably get laid… hopefully… maybe not laid, but looked at, oh i’ll be looked at heavily.
how would i use this nifty little flash drive? to save my 100′s of mp3 files from my slowly dying, bloated, fat, wheezing, suffering, lying on its death bed, full of pills desktop. He’s just about gone, and he’s gonna take my music with ‘em. don’t let it happen!!!!
(and the Beck stuff is pretty sweet too.)
I would use it to transfer mixing files between my dorm room and the music lab.

I would store most of my Spank Rock remixes on it.
Finally! A place to store my Doris Day covers!

Aw, I’d use the cute little ghostie to back up my home computer, music, writing, and all. I’m a bad girl who’s never done that, even though I know I should, and this is a much cuter option than the everyday storage thingamajigs.
I would use it to build a high rise and then move it to Flaming Lips St./alley
i would use it as a road cone.
I too would use it for porn. Lots and lots of porn. And the Beck album would nicely spice up the substandard porno tunes.
I would use it for all of the above…
I’d jam pack that flash drive with home recordings of debatable quality and force them upon my friends and people I meet in the street
I WANT
Hmmm, I’d probably use it to hide all the naked pics of my girlfriend from my wife. Just kidding, I’m not married. But if I was…….
Honestly I use the thing to keep a bunch of different shit on; music mostly, then apps, pics and files of various degrees of non-importance. You know, it would help me to be even more distracted than I already am.
I would use it to make all my other appliances totally jealous
i like beck, ghosts, and free stuff…its like the giveaway was meant just for me!
i would use it to take over the world, and then to impose a benevolent dictatorship. happy election day.
if you put a million monkeys in front of a million type writers they’ll eventually write war and peace. hence the fact that if i throw a million glow ghosts at a million computers i’ll eventually write all k-fed material (past, present and future). so i’m gonna need more than one ghost. thanks.
I would put all my pictures of your mum on it.
No, seriously.
All of them.

Obviously the flash drive would be used as a paper-weight.
I would store all my pics of the country music hall of fame, and all my creeper lagoon mp3′s.

i would squeeze as much funk on the 2GB as i could!
Crappy last minute college term papers!
2 gigs!!! That’s just enough room for my Marky Mark MP3 collection. Sweet!
I’d flash the neighbors!
Crappy last minute college term papers!
transfer music between computers, store notes and papers for class, transfer emulators and roms for gaming, enjoy the company…
As a commuting student, this little guy would be much more reliable than emailing papers to my spam filter.

I would use it to store hyperlinks to various yousendit and rapidshare files. i’d also keep all the jock jams CD’s on there in case there’s a party.

why not? i’d love to have me some beck swag.
I’m going to fill the 2gb ghost drive with papparazi photos of Britney and K-Fed, and my Mp3 collection of indie rock bands covering cheesy pop tunes.
I’d store me some spanish techno.
Album of the moment in .mp3 for work listening and a bevy of files needed for grad school and other research.

I would show it off as proof that I actually won something worthwhile! That, and I could finally stop using my Gmail account to swap files between computers.
I’d probably store all of the episodes of Lost I’ve bought off of the iTunes Store on it.

i would use the glow ghost to act as my ghost…
a Ghostly Holder Of Scintillating Tunes
and as a nite lite
I would use the two gigs to save the pandas.
My boss “lost” two of my flash drives and he still hasn’t returned my Jay-Z Black Album he borrowed two years ago, but that’s neither here nor there. I would use the drive for mp3s and my resume.
i’m gonna use it to store photos that i take of it in historic places like Mt. Rushmore and the Eiffel Tower!
I will use it for the betterment of mankind.
I would store the Lindsay Lohan Paparazzi photos that I save from Stereogum on it.
Isn’t that the cutest li’l thing? Bless its heart! I have no idea what on earth I’d store on it. Maybe some kind of secret plans.
Oh, how can I spend 2 gig? Let me count the ways…
Loading up at least 10 of Sufjan’s 50 States Project (note: I will be saving this space aside for a while!)
Great Jessica Alba nipple and bikini shots from Thighs Wide Shut.
The full interview I did with Beck for radio station “The Planet” where he referred to us instead as “The Point.”
Full .wav version of Styx With the Contemporary Youth Orchestra.
Oops! Gotcha on that last one!

80% Ghettochip malfunctions
10% Stereopathetic soulmanure
5% FUME
4% Black tambourines
1% Winos throwing frisbees at the sun
I’d use it at school, so when everyone pulls out their boring red and silver one I could pull out my uber cool glow in the dark ghost one and make them all jealous.
I am posting this comment in hopes of winning the CD and poster and flash drive kthx
I would use it to transport my plans for world domination, because no one would suspect the glow ghost! HAHAHAHAHA!
I will use it to store files from my work computer – because there is no floppy drive!
I would use it to bring my music to work.
i’d move the kibbets over to the gibbets and then back again.
I don’t know what the hell I would do with that Ghost Glow thing…Just give me the damn Beck shit.
I would use the extra memory…to store…more…memory. HELLS YEAH! BECK!! WHOOOOOOOOO!!!
For sticker forms.

I’d use the flash drive to load files for my college radio show every week. seriously… i need one of these things, i’m killing my stocked blank cd stockpile!
I would use it to have little parties with my glow-in-the-dadrk retainer and night splint. Come on! I need the entertainment!
i would blah blah blah.
i would use it to store some of my live recordings that i have made from various shows
Why, to transfer all the stuff I download on the super-fast T1 connection at work to my comparably slow DSL at home!
Well, it would certainly be helpful since I have eben informed “the floppy disc is dead” by teachers. But I’ll probably just cart my porn around campus.
I wouldn’t save anything on it, but i’d have a wicked new probe!
2 gigs of Kevin Federline MP3s! Awesome!
I’ll use it in school to gain street credit based on its appearance only. I guess.
Hello. I would enjoy the prizes by, like you said, putting up the poster while listening to the album. So that takes like what, 3 minutes and 38 seconds? I wanna tie the little Glow Ghost to an end of a long string and swing it around in the dark along to the sweet sounds of The Information.
I’d use it for creating new, illatronic music. That, or a Spinal Tap best-of.

Give it to me. Then I’ll figure out what I’ll use it for.
ok I would love to have a really funny and cool answer but honestly I am just going transport image files back and forth from work to home.
Figured it out – I would take the whole stash over to my mother-in-law’s, pull it out and say “see, your daughter didn’t marry a loser because I’m a winner baby!”
Probably:
- an episode of “Spaced”
- an episode of “Extras”
- two captain beefheart albums
- a naked picture of Jessica Biel [if there is such a thing out there in the ether]
Save the session files of my next solid gold hit.
i’d use it to transfer all my illegally downloaded beck albums onto my other compu… oh shit, i mean i’d use it to transfer all of my legally downloaded beck albums onto my new pc and store all of my other legitimately owned beck merchandise…
