it's not overly sombre, a la sea change.....its not partay-ish, a la Midnite Vultures........its not brazilian, a la Mutations........it just is. Not overly happy sad playful or boring, just _____. That, and it's a little too 'O.C.'

i thought it was party. it slows a little later. i think that though i can't nail down why it is and is not like other albums, it's pretty good. new ground, a combination of his past.

I refuse to believe this. Are you saying this just because they played new Beck material on the O.C.?

I'm sorry but "O.C." music is blasting New Found Glory or Blink 182 while driving your raised truck.

I'm still waiting ever-so-patiently, 2 weeks... *sigh*

true. but next week should be interesting when alex gets psycho and threatens ryan. and i'll have to say season 2 has been disappointing so far (with the exception of the alex/marissa story).

I thought the past two weeks have been pretty good, but there was a lot of lag towards the middle of the season...Things are (hopefully) looking up, though...

I think Dridiculous was referring to the actual state of Orange County (which is awful), and not the TV show, which has had Spoon in the background once or twice...

I, myself, can't wait to go pick up the new Beck album....or, I guess I have to, since it isn't out yet...

Yeah he's right, I was referring to the actual city itself and the people who live there. Not the tv show. Because seriously, after living in Orange County for 6-7 years, it IS goddamn awful and kids bump goddamn awful music.

Now, I'm sure due to the actual show, they're jumping on the indie bandwagon... because OC kids are trendy like that.

It's all about boys wearing girls pants...studded belts (because they don't have enough money to completely leave their punk days behind)... and going to see a band at Chain Reaction, but smoking in the dank alley situated inside the club's walls instead because it's cool, and it's not like it's the Moving Units or anything...

Q said of the new album that he's remade Odelay. Only not as good.

I don't trust Q anymore - keeps givin' all the cool gadgets to 007, while I get stuck defending myself with a pen where, when you turn it upside down, the lady takes her clothes off.

Haven't heard any of it, but I'd probably be happier with the re-mix disc anyway.

Are you actually trying to play off the ammount of trendy indie music that gets played on the OC?

Hey, this week they had the "old" guy listening to Debaser while drinking scotch and wearing a Husker Du T-shirt.

Not bad.
