Midnight Vultures - Beck

<img src=http://vu.morrissey-solo.com/moz/disc/marr/beck-midvult.jpg></img src>
I know this album came out a little while ago but I just got back into it. The songs are really funky and well produced. I guess the jury is still out on his lyrics but I think they are pretty hilarious and there's a sea fagen

Do you wanna ride on the Baltic Sea
I'll be your mistress C.O.D.
I'll comb your hair
Re-write your diary
Pour champagne on a honey bee

Nominate Baltic for "Best sea" today!

Sung over a swooning slow dance melody:
"Girl, I wanna get with you
And your sister,
I think her name is Debra."

Inspired.

I believe it's only surpassed by Mellow Gold.

<b>1.</b> I think the 'Sexx Laws' single came from an obscure reference, or fagen, if you prefer, to an <a href="http://www.ohhla.com/anonymous/ol_dirty/return/dntuknow.odb.txt">ODB lyric</a> in the 3rd Verse of 'Don't You Know' on the <i> Return To The 36 Chambers</i> LP (thanks to OHHLA.COM):

<i>"Pulled down my draws, dropped to her knees
Ripped of my draws as if she had claws
broke the rules that defined sex laws"</i>

(warning: full lyrics are base, not bass, and aren't ultra work appropriate)

That ODB song is hype.
These lyrics are ridiculous as well:

I think we're going crazy
Her left eye is lazy
She looks so Israeli
Nicotine and gravy

According to <a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/37545">pitchfork</a>, you can now stream the new Beck album <i> Cell Phone's Dead</i> on Beck's website...

still haven't figured out <i><b>where</i></b> on beck's site you can do this from...

I hate hard to navigate sites...

ok just figured it out - you go to the top cutsey boom box playing thing and click on playlist, scroll down to 'acropolis Now' exclusive

this is such a non event - Pitchfork made it seem like the whole album was up - Beck doesn't even note it as from the new album, it just says 'exclusive'
