Present-Tense here giving daver a bit of a break. I’m helping to dig deep into the 2014 Coachella Music Festival lineup, featuring one band per day. The purpose of this piece is to assist in difficult decisions that inevitably you’ll need to make, as well as, serve as a fun countdown to Coachella Week. Note: All bands appear in a completely random order… Enjoy, and let the countdown continue!
Day 37 = Beck
Performing = Sunday
Beck (aka Beck Hansen) should be pretty familiar to the people in our audience (Sean, Dave, Jim and myself). I had purchased what I thought was Beck’s first album way back in 1994 ‘Mellow Gold’. At the time, I loved the song “Loser” but felt the rest of the album sucked. Unbeknownst to me, there were two previous Beck albums – ‘One Foot in the Grave’ and ‘Stereopathic Soul Manure’. People like me were so caught up with ‘Loser’ that we failed to give those albums a chance. I’ve since listened to them and have a new respect for ‘One Foot in the Grave’ but can’t really get into the ‘Soul Manure’.
