Consumate envelope pusher Beck Hansen has been named Decent Community’s Decent Bastard of the Week. Oozing with unique artistic stylings, Beck’s music is unpredictable, unclassifiable, and an altogether refreshing departure from the spoon fed cacaphony that’s typified in today’s popular music landscape.
He’s produced thoughtful album after thoughtful album — from Mellow Gold and Odelay, through Midnight Vultures and Sea Change, all the way up to Guero, The Information, and Modern Guilt – each album singular and one of a kind. But his music isn’t the only reason he’s been selected to join this elite club of decency. One of our readers writes in:
“Yes. We can all agree Beck’s jams are pretty much the shit. Dude is cool as fuck. But what elevates him to rarefied air is his wife — perhaps the most sought after woman in big screen history. He’s married to the famous redhead from Dazed and Confused, Marissa Rabisi for those who don’t know. If Wooderson covets her, you can bet all of the free world is hankering for this beauty. But Beck has her. What does that tell you?”
It tells us Beck must be the most avant-garde bastard on the scene today. He concocts a type of hip-hop-folk-funk-psychedelic-country-punk-blues-pop-jazz-electronic-art-rock that totally jams to the bone. Connecting the threads, advocating adventure, embodying originality — a decent bastard indeed!
