Let me start with a funny anecdote that happened
to my pal Eric Danno of The Ace-Tones: 'Oh Ironie...We speelden met de
Ace-Tones 'Only Everything' een keer, op een van de laatste optredens -
en toen kwam na afloop iemand vragen wat we met dat nummer van Beck hadden
gedaan. Die heb ik een biertje gegeven en hem kort heel erg ernstig en
diep onderwezen over Muziek, Gerechtigheid en Ethiek...!' (translation
for those of you who don't speak Dutch:'Oh irony...One time we played 'Only
Everything', during one of the last gigs - and afterwards someone asks
me what we had done to Beck's song. I bought him a beer and taught him
very seriously all about Music, Justice and Ethics...!) That's the 90's
for ya! Revisionism for the cause of art. A very typical situation, sad
but true. 'Devil's Haircut' is the opening song on the album and it's credited
to (Beck Hansen) although it's mentioned in the linernotes that it contains
elements of 'I Can Only Give You Everything'. 'Them Again' is plundered
(or sampled as it is called nowadays) two more times by Beck as the song
also contains a sample of 'Out Of Sight' and another cut on the CD, 'Jack-Ass'
is sampled from 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue', all of which appear on
'Them Again'. Beck has been described in the (mainstream) press as a musical
wonder but I just don't get it. OK, the guy's pretty versatile in all and
I must admit that I dig some of his work but all the hype is just pure
and unadulterated bullshit. You believe that, you believe anything. Wake
up, ignorant fools! |
