Beck Hansen is definately not your ordinary performer. Back
in 1994 on his major label(Geffen) debut, Mellow Gold, Beck
threw himself in the spotlight by chanting, "I'm a loser, baby, so
why don't you kill me?" This simplistic approach to pop music is what
Beck fans all over the world have come to expect and admire. With his
newest release, Odelay, Beck lets no one down with his lyrics
on "Where it's At," reiterating time and time again the extent of his
possessions, "I got two turn-tables and a microphone." Odelay
was recorded in Los Angeles throughout 1995 and into early 1996 and
was produced, for the most part, by Beck and the Dust Brothers(Beastie
Boys, Biz Markie) at the Dust Brothers house in L.A., Beck took some
time out from recording Odelay to play the Lollapalooza tour
last summer with such notables as Sonic Youth, Hole, Elastica, and
Cypress Hill. Additionally, Beck has toured the United States, Europe,
Australia and Japan with a full band. And this year at the MTV
Music Awards, Beck was honored with the Best Male Video award.
