Beck Brings Letterman Modern Guilt
"Gamma Ray" to be specific. There was no MGMT or fatherly strings, just his usual live backing band and the darkly upbeat Modern Guilt standout. Beck looks like he's having a good time up there (note smile in the screen grab), or at least more animated than he was in the video for the track. Letterman seems to dig it, though surprisingly he doesn't make it over to hold guitarist Jessica Dobson's hand. Must be too preoccupied with the election.
For a change of pace, watch the video with the sound down while listening to this:

Matt, that would be Jessica Dobson. I've crushed on her big time since seeing Beck at Bumbershoot last month.

Modern Guilt is his best album since Sea Change. I really like the black wizard look, just wish he'd be into some satanism or hippie voodoo shit..
Score = 2
Ha! He did sing the wrong part, funny. I agree, anyone who calls this Becks comeback album ought to be punched in the back of the head.

I really like Jessica Dobson's.

P.S. I saw Beck on this tour and it kinda sucked. I thought he played too much Guero and The Information songs, and not enough Modern Guilt (or New Pollution!!!).
Score = 1
