Deconstructing.
Yup, I actually own this. It was
hard to find til one day my boyfriend was in the record store and
*viola* there it was. So he bought it.
It's really wierd. It has
different songs all mixed up into one song, or else a song cut up to
where it sounds like it's something else. For example, one of the
best songs is cut from Readymade. It goes, "Stuck together, fallin'
apart, stuck together, fallin' apart..." you get the idea. Most of
the songs are this way...sometimes it's different songs put
together, tho. It sounds really odd for those of us that know how
the *real* songs go.
It's log, log, it's big, it's heavy, it's wood...it's log, log,
it's better than bad, it's GOOD!

I have just
finished reading up on the Deconstructing Beck album and it sounds
very interesting.... I read emails from layers to illegal art and
rtmark and back and soforth.
Rtmark puts forth a very interesting argument which I highly
suggest reading. You can find it by clicking www.rtmark.com/db.html .
If after reading the arguments, you find it moraly acceptable to
listen to the music you can click here:
www.detritus.net/illegalart/beck/notes.html
and
listen to 30 second clips of each song.
I am not quite sure if I find rtmarks logic completely sound or
not; they put forth a well thought out logical argument but I find
it a little weak in the fact that they will most likley profit from
Becks name. Their goal seams to be to sabotage corporate buisness...
.... They keep asking to hear Becks oppinion on the whole deal,
which I would also like to hear taking into consideration that I
seem to remember Beck having his own little problems with copywrite
infringements hahmm (not that their is anything wrong with that). I
think that rtmark
may have thought of this in advance and that
may have been one of the reasons that they targeted Becks music in
the first place....
tell me what you think.

One of my favorite
Beck articles is the shift.com one in which he discusses the
possibilities of online music and public access to his work. Halfway
through the article he talks about the Deconstructing Beck project.
http://www.shift.com/shiftonline/html/onlinetoc/2000/8.4/html/guide_beck.html
Go check it out. It's worth your attention and deliberation.

I have that
issue... I was just reading it over again... I guess I could have
answered my own question.... damn... it mentions something about a
contest to remix loops from Mixed Buisiness... that would have been
realy cool.... too bad..
thanks.

deconstructing
beck
i think rtmark has a pretty good
arguement....i think they definitely thought ahead in picking beck
as an artist to sample, because of the fact he uses so much sampling
himself. personally im all for it. you should check out all the
other cool things they have done. they replaced the voice boxs in
some gi oes at a store with barbie voice boxs that said something
along the lines of "i want to have a pic nic!" also, adbusters does
some brillant culture jamming through billboard sabotage. anyone
willing to tape this for me? i can send a tape and postage
$$$,thanks.

It's kinda
interesting, but worth no more than $5. I only think about 2 of the
songs on there are actually listenable. The rest are pretty much
just annoying & Pointless. I'm sticking to the stuff BECK
releases/creates himself from now on.
Will you put me inside your TV tonight? Cuz you're treatin' me
like a rerun.."Puttin' It Down"

Let's
see, a few comments:
First, this rtmark is an anti corporate
group using corporate tactics to further their interests? hmmm.
Sounds a little ironic and hypocritical to me. Like the kind of
people who would have no problem rationalizing a "Kill for Peace"
kind of mentality.
Second, deconstruction is the sincerest form
of flattery, isn't it?
Third, I heard a new antianti corporate
group called f*rtmark is looking for those individuals with too much
free time to contribute to a CD called "Deconstructing
Deconstructing Beck" . They are already hoping that news about the
project will forego the actual thing being done so that it will
generate legal action in advance and bring them lot's of attention
without doing any real work.
