UNDERATED, laugh out loud. He was huge WORLDWIDE OFF OF ONE TUNE VERY EARLY & signed to Geffen all over tv from pretty early too. Underrated is about the most overstated remark
It's good to have interviewers who let musicians speak. A lot love to cut ppl off and talk over them and through their words. Beck is very articulate and so linked in with everyone in the industry and crazy. Musical genius. Literally.
I love Beck and I love this album!!! The song Dark Places in particular gets stuck in my head all day long. I wish I could meet Beck and shake his hand or give him a hug because since I've discovered him 5 years ago I've been able to use his music to keep me sane through the everyday bullshit life can be. He's got something to fit whatever mood I'm in from day to day and it never gets old to me. THAT is art. He's so underrated and underappreciated for his awesomeness, but that's what makes him awesome and as though he's my secret weapon, because he's not overblown or wrecked by over popularity. He's just BECK.
While listening to the new album: Okay, at this point Beck is clearly a creative genius. And while other musicians are making music, he's conceptualizing.
He's a special type of genius. Not sure his music is saving lives, or helping move us towards world peace, but he is one dude that has brought us decades of great music, and never really repeats himself. He's a master of many genres of music, and is a genius doing so.
Beck looks like a Amish guy from the Midwest . . . who just won the lottery and went shopping for new clothes. He is a fantstic musician who happens to be relevant within the pop music genre.
Somebody came after me looking like a stalker that was a Stan... Of his. Honestly, when I was young, my first impression of him was loser... I like e pro & that's all I know. That anonymous creep wanted to blow up my comment section about his fan mania bs. Why the f do I care what other ppl follow? I'm not him. Come after me. Sarcasm. It is not that fn serious. I'm not worshipping science or wever pointless bs he was rambling on about
“I had the, ahem, “pleasure” of dining with Beck when I dated a freelance music writer. It was embarrassing, to say the least. He sent back his food 3 times, poured a drink on the floor (it was water with lemon- how could that be badly made?) When someone asked what was wrong with the food, he replied, “Nothing. But I can do that kind of shit- I'm a rock god.” No trace of sarcasm in his face. When we left, of course, we tipped well. Our poor waiter deserved combat pay for that experience. On our way out the door, we passed our waiter. I thanked him profusely for tolerating our table, and slipped him another $20. Beck saw what I was doing, and told the guy on the way out, “You're lucky to get that. I would suggest you find another career, because you're shit at this one.” Apparently, we weren't the first people he'd done that way. When my bf and I told our story to other writers and friends, we got “Oh, he did that to you, too? Yeah, he's known for being a douche bag. I think he enjoys embarrassing people and abusing wait staff, hotel clerks, flight attendants, and whom ever might be in his path. He's a dick.” Obviously, no one told him you meet the same people on the way down that you stepped on, on the way up.“
"The luxury is actually not external it's internal" @13:40 is one of my principles as a Latin teacher! For instance, I say, when you watch a show on a screen, it could be a phone screen or a movie theater screen, but your ENTIRE attention is going to be screen sized--so what size can we expand our attention to with experience and reading and reflection.
Hello, I want you to know just how much I appreciate everything you have done for me. Thank you for your love and support. You are a true fan, and I am so grateful for that. You cannot imagine how much strength your support has given me during a difficult time. I appreciate you more than words can say. I hope you keep being a great fan. Where are you watching from?
Hyperspace is an epic album on all levels. It's just stunning if you keep an open minded musically. Songs like stratosphere, dark places and everlasting nothing are just superb.

It must be so tiring for musicians, Beck included, to hear from fans every time they release a new album that it's not like x album and that they should make another album just like x album, or that they want x album era musician back. As a longtime Beck fan, and having seen him live, it's super annoying to hear people pining for Mellow Gold era Beck. It's as if musicians aren't allowed to grow as people as well. I think Hyperspace is a solid album, and Chemical is an especially stellar track. And for everyone getting upset over Pharrell's influence on the album, get over it. Beck didn't "sell out" because he used a trap beat on one song on the album. In my eyes, what makes Beck, Beck is that he truly is a chameleon of sound. Putting his entire discography on shuffle is more diverse and more wild of a ride than most of the Alt/Rock playlists curated by Spotify and Apple nowadays anyways.

Beck just has a different genre on every album. That has really allowed him to stay fresh for these 25+ years. He's not an artist where he has stayed the exact same style, drifted away from it for 2 or 3 albums where fans have complained that it doesn't sound like him. I love super hard rocking stuff (Mellow Gold, Odelay, Guero), his upbeat funk/pop/synth-pop (Midnite Vultures, Colors, Hyperspace), his mellower indie rock (Mutations, Modern Guilt), and his slower melancholy folk/rock (Sea Change (My favorite Beck album), and Morning Phase) and even his weirder pre-Mellow Gold stuff. Although One Foot in the Grave is a masterclass from him!

Pretty much every track is epic on hyperspace, it's designed to be listened from start to finish in my view, there's a certain flow to it, the album makes sense that way.
14:24 so cool! "chemical" is my favorite of the album, and i had already appreciated all the things he mentioned about it. so validating to hear from the horse's mouth my own assessments.

7:09 so cool. music soothes the beast. this is due to the air vibrations that not only change the frequency of blood flow in the ears and thus brain, but also are felt throughout the body to change bloodflow in the heart.
Creative spirit and beautifully inventive. Fascinating that he did scoring "play my work" as a way to create *your sound.* very interesting Family and remarkable connection to Johnny Cash which i think saved him.
What a great young journalist, just letting the interviewee take the reigns vocally and casually interjecting with stimulating questions is a valuable skill not many have.
Mr Beck! where you referring to defender ? That game was so hard ! All the pros use to play it hardcore but me I was just too young to be able to get past a couple of minutes on the darn thing !

Anybody who really dug this album may want to check out a UK / Brexit artist called Tim Please. He also sells sounds he designed on various synths. I've been trying to get him to write me an album for years but he's very hard to get a hold of now. I didn't have money or a lot of it when I found out he writes music. By the time I did. He vanished. Seriously go check out his stuff lol.
Huge Beck fan here. Everything was so good for so long! Morning Phase was a masterpiece. I was so excited for what was next, but it's all been absolute shit after Morning Phase. He sold out.
im willing to hire thom yorke to just to see if he can see himself doing it without losing focus on the other things hes looking at with his good eyes.
Same with the Hyperspace cover. I guess it's possible to make good music and still be lost. He was, after all, a Scientologist until about 5 minutes ago
I just realized that I've been listening to Beck on and off for like 25 years now, and I've never heard him speak.
Matt Clark ME TOO
lol. same!
Have you not seen the futurama episode?
Totally agree. Concerts don't count.
@@lillekins No, I didn't know he had done one; I'll check it out!
Super underrated musician. Such an authentic soul

Beck is back. Hell yes!!
And he’s got two turntables and a microphone
@@MixyTape Where it's at
Back? Back from what?
It’s insane how relevant beck has been for like 25ish years just by being himself
I envy the dude, spastically.
Beck is one insightful, intelligent, well spoken man.

Beck=genius
While listening to the new album: Okay, at this point Beck is clearly a creative genius. And while other musicians are making music, he's conceptualizing.
Too much dance type shit though
Beck = Scientologist
Still love him tho
Arjun Jai He literally said in an interview that he wasn’t a scientologist
He's a special type of genius. Not sure his music is saving lives, or helping move us towards world peace, but he is one dude that has brought us decades of great music, and never really repeats himself. He's a master of many genres of music, and is a genius doing so.
He reminds me of Bowie, not in the way he looks or even sounds. Just his approach to the art.
You might want to check out this crazy video. ruclips.net/video/XyO5MRTbL2s/видео.html
Literally just said that ob vomments for beats1 interview. Yall should check out his bbc live performance itsa tripp
Beck looks like a Amish guy from the Midwest . . . who just won the lottery and went shopping for new clothes.
He is a fantstic musician who happens to be relevant within the pop music genre.
I like this observation 😂
@Noble Failures not a Scientologist anymore apparently.
I don't think he just "happens" to be relevant. if that was true, he would've been forgotten in the 90's.

He is always so positive and sweet

7:20 beck explaining what music does to us.. super spot on!
Beck and Ben Folds our Mozart. We are fortunate to have song riders that are still writing organic music.
Midnight Vultures..so way ahead of the curb. Amazing album.
Saw him at Shaky Knees in Atlanta this past May. Front row too. One of the best musicians working today.
He can talk my ear off anytime. I'd love to hear him and Thom Yorke make some compositions.
Oh fuck yes! Maybe a fun electro record then a beautiful singer songwriter somber LP.
Man, that could go many directions.
this will be explosive
Beck your music has helped me through some dark times. Thank you xx
Love this guy! Been a fan since the late 90s.

He gets pretty technical but in an accessible way. I love Beck. His music has brought joy.

Best living music artist by far. Come to Southern Europe, please!
Thanks for the great guest! And thank. you Beck for a new beautiful album! New dimensions to the perception of space :)
Wow, thanks for the great interview/conversation, Mr. Hansen and NME.
Beck just has a different genre on every album. That has really allowed him to stay fresh for these 25+ years.

I'll work with ya Beck....have always enjoyed your work through the years...and it has helped me through difficult times
Loving hyperspace! Love colors too, been listening to beck for a long time!
Chemical is a DOPE track.
Definitely the best on the album
Pretty much every track is epic on hyperspace, it's designed to be listened from start to finish in my view, there's a certain flow to it, the album makes sense that way.
Chemical is probably my least favorite on the album. Still good though.
Everlasting Nothing is an existentialist gospel song.....totally agree!!
What a guy! I really like his earlier stuff like soul manure and one foot in the grave.
14:24 so cool! "chemical" is my favorite of the album, and i had already appreciated all the things he mentioned about it. so validating to hear from the horse's mouth my own assessments.
Great interview! I really like the themes behind this album. Everyone who worked on album did an amazing job!
To me, as an artist, Beck is to me what David Bowie is to Beck.
Yeah, I can really hear that. You make good music, hope you make it :)
Beck: "However you build your life, there will be an equalization. Ha ha ha!!"
NME: "Ha ha ha...........?"
teppolundgren so trueeee
Woe this guy is pretty articulate
Great interview. Beck was lucky to have a good interviewer in which he could really be himself. Great journalism.

Man the interviewer really just cut him off. You could tell Beck was kinda off put too. “I talked your ear off.” Should have let him keep going.
He gives me massive Michael Vera vibes. it's like if Michael Cera was also David Bowie and non-depressed Kurt cobain
new album is really good
Beck is a genious also an enigma may be every genious is an enigma
Fave album 2k19 🙌
7:09 so cool. music soothes the beast. this is due to the air vibrations that not only change the frequency of blood flow in the ears and thus brain, but also are felt throughout the body to change bloodflow in the heart.
Beck, please make a record with Tom Waits
Really?
@@phoenixzappa7366 yes, I'd love to hear what those two would come up with
Just give us a Tom Waits album. It has been way too long!
I think you only said that because of their hats.
They are acquainted, at least. Beck interviewed Tom for his website in 2009.
Creative spirit and beautifully inventive. Fascinating that he did scoring "play my work" as a way to create *your sound.* very interesting Family and remarkable connection to Johnny Cash which i think saved him.
its neat to hear him talk about it. neat-o
Such a great artist
Chemical is the best track on the album hands down. It flows so well
Seriously. This song is playing on repeat in my head.
Peace and Love Beck.
I feel like I have to listen to it again!
Playlist Beck and Beck because he's original in his own ways art music video's that's the way I look at his music as great work's of art.
6:39 so cool. love that song
Everybody is in the movie of their life.
Love beck!
I love this man
What a great young journalist, just letting the interviewee take the reigns vocally and casually interjecting with stimulating questions is a valuable skill not many have.
Coming here straight from the Thurston-interview is quite the shocking experience.
Mr Beck! where you referring to defender ? That game was so hard ! All the pros use to play it hardcore but me I was just too young to be able to get past a couple of minutes on the darn thing !
Beck and the flaming lips really collaborated well
'Colors' is Beck's Shiny Happy People.
I loooooove this man

Al Green ❤ is that for me
beck: you know like uh (says a bunch of stuff i don't understand)
me: i love u beck
I'll probably be buying this album on vinyl. The house DJ Jon Pleased Wimmin (aka Jon Of The Pleased Wimmin) recommended it to me. (Nes Manga)
Just came here from the show throwing interview. Very different 😂
Good explanation of philosphy
Xenu would be proud of his Thetans
New album's dope.
NME was planning to do an interview, but I think he got pulled into a meditation without realizing it.
THIS dude is REALLY talented. I just heard him do Neil Young's "Old Man" and I was FLOORED.
haven't heard from him for a long time 💙
The David Bowie of generation X.
The Ween of mainstream.
Huge Beck fan here. Everything was so good for so long! Morning Phase was a masterpiece. I was so excited for what was next, but it's all been absolute shit after Morning Phase. He sold out.
Cool insights
Is Hyperspace the 5th dimension?
And millions of auto mechanics wanted to be musicians!
Hi, that's me
Beck is a deep! I need to hang out with that dude :)
@Dog Breath If that is the only way I guess I would have to do it :(
So funny to compare this to his nardwuar interview, crazy how much he’s changed
good looking pupils beck!
It's pretty good.
Beck you should do an album with jack white that would be awesome
@2:02 PREACH!!!
im willing to hire thom yorke to just to see if he can see himself doing it without losing focus on the other things hes looking at with his good eyes.
Why was his eye blotted out with the shape of horus eye on the colors album
Same with the Hyperspace cover. I guess it's possible to make good music and still be lost. He was, after all, a Scientologist until about 5 minutes ago
@@MastaRavenkroft no this is all throughout the music industry. It is a representation
cool
Chemical is a weapon of a song 🎉
I miss when Beck threw a boot when people asked him questions. He has become such an elitist.
Great interview. Gross rug.
Beck. Still going after all these years, gotta ask this question . What’s with the Amish boy look..
The album is dope lol
That's a nice hat
Not looking for a Pharrell record, I want a Beck record.
HE LOOKS LIKE sCOTT wALKER
Johnny Guitar I’ve often thought the same.
That game has to be defender.
I apoLogize because I thought i had some remote cLue about the intentions and the authentic about this artist~~
