Beck's music is often considered to be typical of much popular alternative music of the 1990s with its disdain for genre conventions, obtuse and ironic lyrics, and the melding of samples with played instruments. However, what set him apart from rock groups such as Mr. Bungle and avant garde composers such as John Zorn, who experimented with similar genre raiding, was his free-flowing, sometimes absurd lyrical style. Hopefully compared by critics to the more obscure moments of Bob Dylan and given an enthusiastic seal of approval by Allen Ginsberg, Beck was a link between the folk and beatnik past and the hip-hop present.
After dropping out of high school in the mid-1980s, Beck educated himself and traveled widely. In Germany, he spent time with his maternal grandfather, fluxus artist Al Hansen. New York City and the late '80s found himself part of the punk-influenced anti-folk music movement.
Beck returned to Los Angeles at the turn of the decade, destitute but motivated. To support himself, he took a variety of low-paying, dead-end jobs, and even lived in a shed, all the while continuing to develop his music. During this time, Beck sought out (or snuck onto) stages at venues all over Los Angeles, from punk clubs to coffee shops. In the spirit of an artist struggling to make a name for himself, his shows were memorable for their mix of humor and eccentricity. Some of his earliest and most thought provoking recordings were achieved by working with Tom Grimley at Poop Alley Studios, a part of WIN Records.
It was in this atmosphere of heady creativity that the founders of Bong Load Custom Records discovered Beck. Their 1993 12" vinyl "Loser," from an initial run of 500 copies, created a sensation on alternative radio that led to a furious bidding war between labels to sign Beck. Eventually, he chose Geffen Records, who offered him terms that included allowing for the release of independent albums while under contract.
In 1994, Geffen's official debut release of Mellow Gold made Beck a mainstream successand led to his iconic status as the "slacker" representative of the alternative rock scene. Beck would comment often that like "Loser," the song that inspired it, the "slacker" label was very ironic.
At the same time, he released Stereopathetic Soul Manure on Flipside Records and One Foot in the Grave on independent K Records. Beck took his act on the road with the 1995 Lollapalooza tour. Still, some critics panned him as a one-hit wonder. It didn't help that a lot of audiences (especially at Lollapalooza) were only familiar with "Loser"' and would generally ignore his other work.
That one-hit wonder label was put to rest with the release of 1996's Odelay, a collaborative effort with the Dust Brothers, producers of the Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique. The lead single, "Where It's At," received heavy airplay and its video was in constant rotation on MTV. Within the year, Odelay had received perfect reviews in Rolling Stone and Spin magazines, been listed on countless "Best of" lists, had received double-platinum status, and earned an impressive number of industry awards, including two Grammies.
Odelay was followed in 1998 by Mutations. Produced by Nigel Godrich of Radiohead fame, it was intended as a stopgap measure before the next album proper. Recorded over two weeks, during which Beck recorded one song a day, the sessions produced 14 songs. Mutations was a departure from the electronic density of Odelay, and was filled with folk and blues influences. Songs on the album consisted of older tracks, some even dating back as far as 1994. Track 10, "Sing It Again", was written for Johnny Cash, but Beck never submitted it, considering it "rubbish." Cash would go on to record "Rowboat," a song that originally appeared on Beck's Stereopathetic Soul Manure.
During 1998, Beck's art collaborations with his grandfather Al Hansen were featured in an exhibition entitled Beck & Al Hansen: Playing With Matches and showcased solo and collaborative collage, assemblage, drawing and poetry works. The show toured from the Santa Monica Museum of Art to galleries in New York City and Winnipeg, Canada. A catalogue of the show was published by Plug In Editions/Smart Art Press. In 1999, Geffen released the much-anticipated Midnite Vultures, an orgy of sexual and culinary innuendo that was supported by a world tour. For Beck, it was a return to the high-energy performances that had been his trademark as far back as Lollapaloozathe live stage set including a red bed that descended from the ceiling for the song "Debra" and the touring band was supplemented by a brass section.
After Midnite Vultures came Sea Change in 2002, another airy and emotional album with producer Nigel Godrich, which became Beck's first U.S. Top 10 album, reaching # 8. Sea Change was conceptualized as an album with one unifying themethe stages following the end of a relationship. The album also featured string arrangements by Beck's father David Campbell and a sonically dense mix recalling at times Mutations and elements of Midnite Vultures. Although some radio singles were released no commercial singles were made available to the public. The Sea Change tour featured The Flaming Lips as Beck's opening and backing band.
Beck has a number of b-sides and soundtrack-only songs as well, including "Midnite Vultures" (curiously, not on the album of the same name), a cover of The Korgis' "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" which appeared in the 2004 movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and David Bowie's Diamond Dogs from Moulin Rouge
In late 2004, Beck returned to the studio to work on his sixth major-label album. The record, Guero, was produced by the Dust Brothers and Tony Hoffer and features a collaboration with Jack White of The White Stripes; it marked a return to Odelay-era sound. The album was released on March 29, 2005 and enjoyed critical acclaim, earning four stars from Playboy and Rolling Stone as well as a "Critic's Choice" recognition from The New York Times. The album debuted at #2 on the Billboard charts, pushing 162,000 copies in the first week and giving Beck his best week ever in terms of commercial sales and chart position. Since the release of Guero, the first single, E-Pro has been well received by the alternative rock community, and has seen a large amount of play time. The second single, titled simply "Girl", is a bright, upbeat song appearing at first to be about summer love. However a closer look at the lyrics reveals a darker side to the song. "Girl" is currently receiving heavy airplay on various college radio stations.
Beck married Marissa Ribisi in April 2004, shortly before the birth of their son, Cosimo Henri.
Alcatel OT-E260 Mobile Phone
The Alcatel OT-E260 is a slightly different design from most of the available budget phones, taking in the slider look which is more often reserved for the higher end of the market. While the Alcatel OT-E260 phone is based upon high grade models from the Alcatel stable, there has been a degree of downgrading of the services available in order to balance the price with functionality, with cost to manufacture. Alcatel seem to have a style all of their own which is recognised in the mass market, this reputation goes before them and opens up a ready made market for their products.
While the phone itself does look a little bulky at first glance, the dimension are very small at 45 mm x 87 mm x 25.5 mm and the phone weighs in at a useful 90 grams. While the handset is maybe a little thicker than the average phone, this is in part to accommodate the slider feature which makes the Alcatel brand so noticeable. That said, the phone is easy enough to tuck away in a pocket, or slip into a bag, and is light enough so that you wont really notice it is there. The phone itself has a polished black outer case and silver trim, although the front of the phone is most defiantly dominated by the navigation button and roll bars on the outside. There is also an external display with smallish measurements of 27 mm x 22 mm (with pixel resolution of 102 x 80 pixels) - while small, the screen offers a useful insight into who is calling, messages, etc. Quite surprisingly Alcatel have not added any function keys to the left or right of the casing, although there is a hole to add a neck strap at the top, and a network connection at the bottom - both subtly placed. The slide mechanism is surprisingly easy to use, and very smooth. Powered by a 650 mAh battery, the phone offers 275 hours of standby time, with an impressive 11.5 hours of talk time (helped by the fact that the facilities have been stripped back to a minimum).
As you slip open the slider mechanism, you will first see the keyboard which is silver in colour, in direct contrast to the black outer case. The keys themselves are cut out from the actual body of the phone, with subtle gaps between them for “blind” navigation (there are three small bars between each row of keys for further assistance in navigation). There is a useful green back ground light behind the keys, which comes in very useful in dark environments. The menu system itself is fairly standard and straight forward, offering useful icons to indicate the services available The large navigation button is easy to use, with a confirmation button in the centre.
As you would expect form a budget phone, the phone book is a little smaller than normal offering storage space for only 255 contact records. Each contact only has space for name and one phone number, which is a little disappointing, although the records can be grouped to suit the users requirements. Phone numbers can be stored on either the phone or the SIM card, which can be useful when changing / upgrading your phone. The messaging facilities are very basic to say the least, only offering access to the SMS service, and there is very little storage facilities to store messages - perhaps distancing the Alcatel OT-E260 from the business market, which is no surprise. There is also a limited ringtone facility, but no option to download extra tunes. While customisation options are very limited, due in the main to the lack of download service, there are a number of preloaded wallpapers which can be added as background.
Other facilities include a limited personal organiser, offering clock, alarm clock and calculator as well as just two preloaded games, giving very limited variation. After using the Alcatel OT-E260, it is easy to see which area of the market the phone is aimed at, although the fashionable design maybe gives the impression of a higher standard phone. At best the Alcatel OT- E260 can be described as a feeder phone, with the hope of users upgrading to higher standard Alcatel models at some point. The Alcatel OT-E260 will never be a best seller, although the name will attract customers in the budget market.
