Super cool. Here’s a class traitor dispatch: when you start to make more money you start to pay more taxes. The size of the checks you send to the govt have big numbers on them. It’s unsettling. You need a strategy & that strategy is SUCK IT UP MOTHERFUCKER.

This new Beck album is ridiculously, swooningly beautiful and sad, and because I was such a fan of Sea Change all those years ago it feels like being taken right back there.

DVDs aren't low-tech. They're just things you can actually own, that won't disappear overnight, that don't require a monthly subscription, that won't suddenly get reedited, that won't start putting adverts in the middle and that won't sell your data to the worst people in the world.

I feel that on his Lonesome trilogy, Beck has captured the “cosmic American music” Gram Parsons said he was after. It’s country, but out of Scott Walker and A Winged Victory for the Sullen. The consistency of purpose and execution is such that I would defy a newcomer to order them chronologically.

DayTripper - Songwriting Work Tape (Visualiser)
Recorded during the Rubber Soul sessions, “Day Tripper” and “We Can Work It Out” were released as a standalone single rather than being included on the album. This fascinating work tape captures John Lennon and Paul McCartney developing “We Can Work It Out” together at John’s home, Kenwood, in Weybridge, Surrey. Originally inspired by an “old folk song” John had written the previous month, the session reveals the pair at their most playful, with plenty of laughter and spontaneous moments. As John later put it, “We were blasting” — a reflection of the energy and volume being captured on tape. Interestingly, the song’s iconic riff had yet to emerge at this stage. The finished version was completed during an intensive eight-hour studio session, making this recording a remarkable glimpse into the Beatles’ songwriting process — and the creativity, humour and friendship John and Paul brought to their work together.
