Danny Himself · 07.30.2008, 04:53 PM

You can have all this for free, definitely.

o'connor · 07.30.2008, 04:58 PM

yeah, i downloaded it a long time ago. it's more goofy than anything. pretty sure you can find a video of it on youtube too.

hiland · 07.30.2008, 05:05 PM

looks like the auction has been pulled.
i guess i'm $10 richer. sorry james.

dazedcola · 07.30.2008, 05:35 PM

found this about the tape online:

ck and Thurston Moore, along with Chris Ballew (soon to be of Beck's band and the Presidents of the USA), went down to Loyala Marymount's radio station, KXLU 89.9FM and performed a half hour of improvised jams, littered with songs constructed on
the spot, and general noise rock glory.

Beck and Thurston's label, DGC, then put out a very small run of promotional tapes of this performance to give to industry hipsters, music journalists and the like. Similar to the "History of Beck" tape, this was meant to expose Beck to the music scene and tip them off to what he was all about.

The tape itself is very rare. All copies are most likely shoved in the back of music journalists or L.A. hipsters tape drawers. Die-hard
collectors will want it solely to complete their collection, but those expecting cohesive "songs" in the classic sense will be disappointed.

Beck has a long history with KXLU, he used to go down to the station and perform all the time, sometimes solo, sometimes with his old bands like Liquor Cabinet with Steve Hanft.

Unfortunately, this, and the track "Whiskeyfaced Radioactive Blowdryin' Lady" off "KXLU Live Volume 1" are the only released recordings of his performances on the station.

Here's a different recording that I haven't seen on here before.
Could be mistaken though.

Last day of "Beck Bootleg Week!"

This last Beck bootleg is pretty special, mainly because I'm the one who recorded it! Back when I was active in the NYC experimental scene – with ambibat and FRANKENHÖFF – I attended a "happening", for lack of a better word, which Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth was one of many performers. During that show I noticed a flyer for a "secret" special performance with Thurston Moore and Beck at The Cooler. Beck was in town promoting his album Mutations and his book Playing With Matches.

I knew this would be a special show so I brought my portable tape recorder to document the occasion. The Cooler was a pretty small venue, in a basement of some building in the meat packing district, so the place was...packed. I could tell some of the people were waiting to see "Loser" Beck but I knew what to expect. Beck and Thurston came out with guitars and Tom Surgal joined them on drums – I'd seen Thurston and Tom improvise together before. When they began to play it was obvious Beck was out of his league. As Thurston wailed on his guitar Beck fiddled with a few blues licks and some finger-tapping. He eventually abandoned trying to keep up with Thurston and Tom and turned to performance art instead. He jumped around with his guitar up his shirt and ended the show by taking apart Tom Surgal's drums piece by piece, bringing them backstage until only Thurston was left standing. All-in-all the performance wasn't great but it was a one in a lifetime event witnessed by few.

As I started writing this post I decided to google this performance and found that someone actually released a version of it on tape cassette...I had know idea. Apparently, the piece is called "Kill Any/All SPIN Personnel", but I'm not sure if that's official so I left mine "Untitled". I found a download of it and compared their recording to mine...very little difference besides tone. I'm sharing both versions so you can choose which you prefer.

First up is my recording...(I found the images of Beck on the web shortly after the performance, back in '98, and kept them in a folder until now. Unfortunately, whoever posted them cropped out Thurston)...

Free shipping? You'd be stupid NOT to buy it.

Actually, dude's whole store is going for $500,000. Can't tell if that's a ripoff or a steal.
