Hey gang, don't know if you saw Truck's notice, but our long national nightmare will soon be over and the Bek BBS will be up large and in charge:

BBS Info

I've gotten a big kick out of Beck's recent journal entries too. It used to be just tour stories, but now it's weird poems, 80s flashbacks, and strange photos. Cool.

did a lot of 'bot fans get into ima robot through beck?

If JMJ hadn't mentioned a couple of shows on that board, I wouldn't have heard of them.

really! thats quite weird. see, i have always been the other way round. mars volta, i was never much of a fan of at the drive in. ima robot, i only have odelay (and have nothing by r.e.m [or any of the other bands!]) are there any other examples. i dont know. carry on

WHAT??!!! That's all the Beck you have? Oh, to have the opportunity to listen to all his stuff with fresh ears as you do. A lot of people on this board will agree that you would do well to pick up Midnight Vultures, Sea Change, Mutations, whatever you can find, really.

Seacap, those journal articles are trippy, I like them a lot more than the pure fact detailing that was part of the tour journal...

I really enjoyed the tour stories myself. It was a fun way to follow the tour along. Though now he's not touring, I especially look forward to these new types of entries.

Beck has such a cool way with words, that's what I like. I mean, in one entry, he used the word "bedraggled." Excellent!

Yea I'd have never have heard of the Bot without the Beck board either. Been a JMJ and Joey fan since the Odelay tour.

ok, i will check some more beck out. its weird because i prefer ima robot to odelay. am i alone with this?

I think they're two totally different animals. But both share in common the tendency towards taking the more creative, unconventional, approach when given the opportunity.

It's not up yet, right? I just want to make sure it's not my computer that's being all freaky..:D

Not yet. I am having withdrawal symptoms. Just itching to add to Tim Reed's presumed end of 2003 poll!

Yeah I hate to be a "Jimmy Kimmel", but if it weren't for me seeing Beck at the Santa Fe docks back in 96, I wouldn't have recognized, and met Justin at Stereolab in 97, therefore becoming the big fan that I am.

Daaaang!! way to Truck on this part right here can't wait for the DVD:
