Odelay

I really like Beck. Even though 'Guero' has been overplayed at Starbucks, I still love it. I still remember borrowing 'Odelay' from our public library because I wasn't sure if I could get into it (I kept it way past the due date). And I also have fond memories of my classmates in the seventh grade arguing over what, exactly, he was saying in the chorus to 'Loser.' "He's not saying anything! It's jibberish!" "No, I think it's Spanish. My older sister said it's Spanish!" "Your older sister is a sluthead!" "Your mama!" Ah. Seventh grade. No better time for such a fitting anthem. Anyway, I'm holding out hope that Beck will be one of the cool Scientologists ('cool' meaning 'sane'). I'm hoping he doesn't jump on couches, criticize Brooke Shields, and say stupid shit like, "I know the history of psychology! You're so glib!!!!" Unless he manages to make a funky song out of it. Because, really, who am I to complain about Thetans when I was raised to believe in original sin??? Buy Beck's Guero. Buy Beck's Odelay ----
