It is a strange feeling when you think you should be able to get certain things in advance through your access to official authority, when another resource access to you one step ahead. I am talking about news of music business, and all the Pitchfork’s credits!
Here is some news I found there before I got any info from my official connections (which is indicated, here, to the International Marketing head office):
On Feb. 27, Beck is putting out a 3-disc set Deluxe Edition of his 2006 sparkly fine work “The Information”. All the fans that have already purchased the original album would probably get angry this time, since the extra goodies of being Deluxe will contain 3 more bonus tracks, 6 remixes featuring not surprising but amusing fellows such as Jamie Lidell and TV on the Radio, and 1 video disc, which has not only all the Beck’s homemade videos, but also 2 videos for bonus tracks and 2 music videos directed by Patrick Daughters and Michel Gondry(!). And the DIY stickers “make-your-own-cover” fun stays on! This is Deluxe!
Canadian girl Feist announced her new album “The Reminder” would be the follow-up of her debut “Let Id Die”, which qualified as the fashion lovers and local intellectuals’ pop soundtrack. It is said electro soul talent Jamie Lidell(again!) and her fellow old-time collaborator Gonzalez will both appear. Maybe after Peaches, Broken Social Scene, and her own lazy groovy cover of Bee Gees, we can still expect something new!
Just check the line-up and you will know why it’s time to take sedative or go buy the tickets! It almost makes me feel sinful because I got a job therefore not be able to just leave and go…
For those poor labors who might as well fail to rock in the festival, here is Beck’s “Nausea” music video by Patrick Daughters (who also directed Feist’s lovely “Mushaboom“, which was a commercial tune for Lacoste), and now be amased by gloomily sharp Michel Gondry for Beck’s “Cellphone’s Dead”.
