Beck “Go It Alone”

Things have gotten a bit crazy today so it’ll be a short one. Here’s “Go it Alone” by the multi-instrumentalist, weirdo, hip hop/folk blending mastermind...Beck. This song comes from, in my opinion, one of his most underrated albums, “Guero”.

I'm going to try and make these posts a little bit shorter from here on out. I can get carried away. Have you ever heard a song somewhere and wondered what it was or who it was by? Maybe you were in a store or a watching a movie and a song pops up that you started diggin'. You keep singing it or humming it in your head until you realize, "Damn, I need to know what this is!" But you never found out... This happened to me with one song in particular. I remember back when I was maybe 16 or 17 there was an "indie music" channel on Sirius Radio called "Left of Center". This song popped on and I was really diggin' the guitar riff in it. For whatever reason I didn't look in time to see what song it was. The only thing from the song that I could remember was this dude singing, "Baby C'mon!" I kept listening day-after-day and keeping my ears (and eyes) peeled for this song. But I never heard it played again. I was bummed. I rem...

Do you have music that recalls memories? A song or album, that reminds you of exactly what you were doing, going through, and feeling when you first heard it or played it over and over? I certainly do. There are some songs and albums that I can't even listen to now due to the nature those tunes conjure up. Music I once loved is now purposely avoided as to avoid bringing up unpleasant memories. This is perhaps one of the most fascinating elements of music. The ability to associate feelings and experiences in a visceral attachment. Music certainly isn't the only medium by which feelings and memories are established; the same associations can be made through all of the human senses. But there exists a level of authenticity in music. Maybe it's the melodies, the beat, or just the overall atmosphere of a song that makes you feel a certain way.

Happy birthday to the most sweetest, compassionate, and sincere woman in my life...my mom! The Mom-Bomb! As I've stated previously in the first post on this blog, my mom has been one of the biggest influences on me when it has come to music. Both her and my pops raised me around good music. They even (from what I'm told) intentionally made my initials C.C.R. as a head nod to Creedence Clearwater Revival.Which is pretty dope. While my parents have many similar interests in music, they also have rather distinct differences. My pops tends to enjoy more southern, country influenced rock. His favorite band is ZZ Top if that helps clear things up. Mombomb has a more psychedelic and free-spirited interest. Think of those hippy, groupie, flower clad girls you see in movies or old concert videos hyped and dancing to their favorite bands. Her absolute favorite band is Fleetwood Mac. Or, pretty much every constituent of Fleetwood Mac. I promised her for her birthday I would throw ...
