Beck’s all about the YouTube, the remixes, and the 1s and 0s; so we got together with him to offer a technologically friendly giveaway for fans of his music and fans of convenient data transfer. There’s a few prizes, but one winner takes all.
First up is an autographed Beck poster; that’s for your wall. And while you’re hanging that poster, you can listen to the free copy of The Information you’ll receive. Not bad. But that’s no ordinary copy of The Information, so it doesn’t matter if you already own one. Because no matter how you did at designing your sticker cover, Beck probably did better — and the copy you’ll get will have a booklet signed and designed by Mr. Hansen.
While we don’t have an MP3 player for you to digitize and transport your Beck tunes, we do have the next best thing. This Mimoco Glow Ghost 2GB flash drive was produced in a limited run for Comic Con and are now unavailable — except to you, for you and your Beck storage purposes.
More info on them here. They glow, and they’re more fun to look at than a yousendit file.
So if you could use a little more Beck (again, signed poster, copy of The Information with Beck signed and designed booklet) and a little more portable storage space in your life, post a comment about how you plan to apportion the 2GB of memory on your Glow Ghost. We’ll pick the winner at random on Tuesday 11/21 at 6PM EST. Until then, you’re stuck with your floppy disks.
UPDATE: We’ve just received word that the Glow Ghost is one of TWO that were ever produced. ‘Cause it ain’t 2GB, it’s 4GB. That means you can transfer even more porn.

WOW! This would be really awesome to win! I am not sure what I would do with the flash drive except move data around with it.
I don’t have a flash drive so I could just use one. But Beck has been my favorite arist since Odelay was first released. I was 8 years old and I stole my brothers copy and I’ve never given it back. Please I’d kill to win this!
It could replace my little 100mb flash drive, finally, which I use all the time in lieu of floppies or burning discs– for servers without disk drives, nothing works better.
I would use it to store extra porno that I might need just in case.

I’m working on this novel about the ‘best thing ever’ and basically if I had that drive I could work on it everywhere and anywhere pretty conveniently and what will all the inspiration from winning the other stuff, this novel is going to have plenty of badass content.

I would use the head to store all my half-finished short stories and screenplays. The bloody neck would be mostly my Panic! and MCR bootlegs. I’d try to fit a Joanna Newsom song on the body.

Well, as a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives, I would use the flash drive to store all my creepy, pedophilic e-mails that I send to my Pages. I might store a few of my favorite passages from the Bible on there too. GET IT!? I’M MAKIN’ JOKES!

I’d pretend it was Hilary Duff (she still looks a bit like a ghost doesn’t she?) and fill her up with sounds from the old synths lying about at Uni. Ummmm, Juno 6, yummy. Then I’d make a few tunes on it, have my own concert where its plugged into a laptop and I have one spot light going on and off in cool patterns and it’ll be a cool little glow in the dark light show.
I would keep it until Beck found a way to convert himself to data, and I would take him around everywhere I went, like I little Beck pet.

And Beck rules so much.
I’m a loser baby so why don’t you give me a mimoco flash drive.
The flash drive would store school work plus concert photos I’ve taken at Strokes, Bloc Party, Beck, Kooks, shows. I would hate to lose them because of a faulty disk drive. Oh, probably publicity photos of Keira Knightley and Jonny Greenwood too.
I would use it to store all my nifty free MP3’s from stereogum. And maybe save my favorite YouTube videos before they all get TOS’ed.
I would use it to salvage any mp3’s I could from my girlfriends laptop….
Those look edible. I mean, in the Fruit Stripe gum sense of the word.
I wouldn’t mind not winning; it’d just be a lost cause of sorts. Guess I’m doing fine without a nice flash drive…

I will please my girlfriend with it.
I will use the two GB of data to store volume 3B of my sound sample library– consisting primarily of hedgehog, squirrel and racoon mating noises.
If I only had a nickel for every time Timbaland stole a damn racoon sample from me and turned it into a mega-hit. Curse the day!

and, of course, beck rocks and the album would be much appreciated.
I’m not going to start this comment with “I would” or “I will”. There we go. Anyway, I would send my USB drive back to Mr Beck beheaded and with blood coming out of its mouth with the only file on it a Word Doc just saying a bunch of random numbers that if he uses correctly unlocks the Da Vinci code and my brain! Oh, and a packet of crisps!!!!!!!
Pictures of unicorns and penguins…Lisa Frank style, bitches.

I would play with him first, you know, make him eat my paper clips….poke him up above my cubicle and make him talk to the cute girl next to me: “Rawrrrr. I’m a scary USB drive. You got any children to eat over there? No? You don’t eat kids? Well this guy over here doesn’t either, maybe you should eat with him. Rawrrrr.”
Then maybe I’d transfer all my Zefrank episodes over to it so I can watch them with “cute girl” at her house. We’d laugh. And little glow ghost would watch us as we make out on the couch. Rawrrrrrrrr. Glowwwwwww.
