New Beck - "Timebomb"
No plans for a full album, or a movie soundtrack, or anything, but Beck Hansen has given iTunes a week-long exclusive on his true single, "Timebomb." True single in that there are no b-sides, remixes, etc. We ponied up the 99¢ for a listen (which gave us access to the masked artwork, below, along with a warm feeling of paying-for-music pride). Beck says "Timebomb" is "a song for bonfires, blackouts, and the last hurrah of summer." Guess so? The track weaves na-na-na-nas, Beck-ish cadences, and a constant synth presence for a 2:50 ride through lyrics about red alerts, ticking bombs, and possessing cigarettes. Really only one part to it, harmless fun for a decidedly un-summerish day. Buy here.

Photo-wise, I can't tell where Beck ends and Bjork begins.

I LOVE BECK. I must listen to this song. Guess I'll shovel out the 99 cents to actually pay for it. Suppose I should actually support the artists I listen to every once in a while.

Second thought: If Beck and Bjork slowly meld into one another, I would rejoice with songs of jubilant satisfaction. I'm pretty sure. They both make me happy.

The song is uber annoying. Beck what have you done!?

Now I love me some Beck, but this song is a total non-starter. Honestly, it'd even be boring for a B-side.
