i never said he was ripping anyone off. I said he was a retread, a rehash, the same way the specials were a rehash of 50's and 60's ska, the same way lenny kravitz is a jimi hendrix rehash, the same way the Strokes are a rehash of every early garage rock band, I said Beck put on a good show. do you not read?
his music is derivative in a way I do not find appealing. I do like the specials though!
TOO MUCH FIGHTING ON THE DANCE FLOOR!
fuck beck. thurston moore's not beck.
beck can take his disco inflected folk funk and keep it!
