Beck has always been that artist that I really do like, but don’t really seem to keep up with his every move like I do with some of my other favorites. My introduction to Beck was of course Mellow Gold, and Odelay just completely blew my mind when it came out. I remember purchasing the CD while visiting a friend in L.A. and driving around jamming it over and over and over. So much to the point that we irritated my girlfriend and her friend who were along for the trip.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that he is headlining one of the nights of this year’s ACL Festival, and is a definite “must see” that weekend. And if you haven’t see the man Beck perform, I would highly suggest you make an effort to do so soon. The man puts on a show to please kids of all ages.

Beck’s upcoming release Modern Guilt isn’t hitting legal until July 8th, but as artists do these days, a peek as to what to expect is available in a couple of different formats. A video trailer has been posted, giving us snipits of tracks from the release and two tracks for the recording can be streamed at Beck’s iLike page. You can listen to “Orphans” and “Gamma Ray” in their entirety.
