Last week we posted about One Foot In The Grave, Beck’s old, satisfyingly straight-up K Records folk album. (At the time of its release, I was one of those people who didn’t dig Mellow Gold as much as a tried, but was immediately taken by One Foot, and not just because it included members of Lync.) As we mentioned, the Iliad reissue comes with 16 bonus tracks, including the previously unreleased “Teenage Wastebasket.” Hardcore Beck fans have already noted the song was referenced in a SPIN article in July 1994. Well, 15 years later, the brief and playfully bleak tune — is “her mother is proud to be dead / her dad is breakdancing underneath the bed / she’s got lipstick scraleld across her forehead saying ‘please destroy me’” — streaming in a Stereogum post. Take a listen.
More streaming here:
]The One Foot In The Grave reissue is out 4/14 on Beck’s Iliad imprint.

Why does this have an mp3 tag? I’d like to download it, but I can’t, it would seem.
Sorry about that — stray MP3 tag. It’s a stream. Fixed.
Like meeting an old friend for the first time.
I came.
yawn
I forgot that Beck was actually good at one point in his annoying career……I really like this song
i forgot you were such a fucking idiot o wait no i didnt dumb bitch
u tell him ! !
xxx
Wow you really like your Beck “erikaspanis”…….NERD. The guy is cheesy hack, but that’s just the opinion of a “fucking idiot” slash “dumb bitch.” Next time “erikaspanis” use your big boy words and maybe you can convey a legitimate argument…..
I agree, the guy now makes cheesy, commercial soundtrack ready music, but this album was brilliant.
” erikaspanis’s” nice mouth sailor……
Holy smokes! Beck is one of our generations great musical innovators/songwriters. Just by saying that he makes “cheesy, commercial soundtrack ready music” shows that you haven’t really given his newer stuff a full listen and are rushing to judgment. Get off your hipster high-horse and listen to his recent material.
btw the so called hardcore fans would be from http://www.whiskeyclone.net and http://www.stewoo.net/beck/forum/ thanks for the linkage =|
It’s hard to know which hardcore fans to link, because it seems like this is common knowledge among ‘em, but since you pointed out two, I was able to narrow it down some … thanks!
Thanks! Usualy when of of us Beck fans find something here we link you guys up also.
much love thunderpeel !
